Marvel Heroes Omega was a rocky hybrid of an MMO and the Ultimate Alliance series from the word go, and an experiment which would end sooner than anyone expected when Disney and developer Gazillion would have a messy split which would see the game shut down across all platforms over a month ahead of schedule.

The sudden closer of the game left many of its most ardent players a little bit hooped for the DLC they had recently dropped real world money on, and understandably upset. Microsoft has now outlined how they’re going to make it right to their platform users, while Sony has a similar strategy on the way they haven’t outlined it yet.

The tl;dr of the official Microsoft Statement is that if players purchased content from the Microsoft Store between October 31-November 29, 2017, the refund will return directly to your original payment method without fuss. If the purchase fell between September 1-October 30, 2017, then store credit will be applied to the account. They also say that players should check in with Microsoft Support themselves if they haven’t seen anything by January 31, 2017.

It’s definitely good to see Microsoft take the initiative on this.

Gazillion’s Marvel Heroes didn’t get off to the best start, but the 2015 overhaul, aptly titled Marvel Heroes 2015, turned things around, and made the title a fun action RPG that continues to enjoy a thriving community of dedicated players. With next year’s revisions, the developers aren’t looking to rock the recently stabilized boat- instead, they will continue to build on the improvements they started this year, and on the game’s newfound momentum.

The full specifics will be announced in the coming months, but for now, Gazillion’s list of announced improvements includes a new Secret Invasion Story, a new Thanos Raid, controller support, Steam achievements, leaderboards, as well as bringing the Mac version out of beta.

A full, more exhaustive and detailed list of all the changes will be made public in the coming weeks. Stay tuned, and if you play Marvel Heroes regularly, let us know what you think of all the planned changes in the comments section below.
