Mystery publisher Gazillion Entertainment have signed a deal with Marvel to produce several massively-multiplayer online titles for the comics powerhouse.
Having tried once – and failed – to get an MMO based on their characters off the ground, Marvel have now turned to Gazillion to develop a number of MMOs over a ten year period, with the first game, based off Marvel’s Super Hero Squad, due next year.

Further information – on both the deal and, we hope, Gazillion themselves – is expected to be revealed when the deal is officially announced tomorrow.
UPDATE – OK, we have information on Gazillion. They’re a highly ambitious start-up, with over 300 people already employed across multiple studios. Netdevil, who are working on the LEGO MMO, are one of them.
