Based on strong consumer response to its action role playing game X-Men
Legends, Activision announced that the company is developing a sequel based on the
ever-popular Marvel franchise with Raven Software.
The original game challenges players
to master the attributes of their favorite X-Men by creating, customizing and controlling
teams of four mutants as they embark on a quest to stop the extinction of mankind. The title
is currently available worldwide for the PlayStation 2, Xbox and Nintendo
GameCube.
Ron Doornink, CEO of Activision Publishing said X-Men Legends is already on
track to be the best selling game in the franchise's history.
We are thrilled with
the critical and consumer response to X-Men Legends. Marvel and Activision are committed to
ensuring that the X-Men Legends series will continue to be a top notch game franchise for
years to come, said Ames Kirshen, director of video game development at Marvel.
