Redmond, Wash. - Microsoft Game Studios has cancelled its planned massively multiplayer online game that was to be centered in the Marvel Comics universe, GamesIndustry.biz reports. "Marvel Universe Online" was in development for Xbox 360 and the PC. "When we first entered into the development and agreement of the development of Marvel Universe Online, we thought we would create another subscription-based MMO," MGS head Shane Kim told MTV Multiplayer. "And if you really look at the data there's basically one [game] that's successful and everything else wouldn't meet our level or definition of commercial success."
