The Marvel MMORPG project was in development at Dimensional Ink, the studio helmed by Jack Emmert, who has recently left the company to join NetEase as the head of the new US-based studio Jackalope Games. It is possible Emmert’s decision was influenced by the cancellation of the Marvel MMORPG. Medium-term, EG7 still plans to deliver major updates to Magic Online, Lord of the Rings Online, and DC Universe Online, while new game releases include Power Chord, IGI, ‘83, Minimal Effect, and other indies from Fireshine. Long-term, EG7 plans investments in game-as-a-service titles based on core first-party IPs, which could rekindle the hopes of Everquest fans.
