For the final 6 weeks 2 days before the game closes its doors, the devs are making all purchasable content in the game FREE.

Yes, it was already F2P, but now you can experience the game like a whale who has infinite money to spend on boosts, pets, and trying out all the nifty characters and costumes... whee!

Just a note, as they couldn't actually lower costs to 0, they are instead giving all users $10 of in game currency every day and lowering all content costs to $0.50 - so you do have a 20 item limit per day (though those 20 items could be bundles of 50 items each).

There's a whole backstory and much drama over the situation (the developers have been delaying a huge patch for PC for a couple years, putting most money/time toward console development, now Disney shutting them down for...reasons) - but hey, newcomers are welcome to ignore all that.

If you like ARPGs and/or Marvel, enjoy getting thousands of dollars of imaginary content for free over the holiday season!


(11/22) IMPORTANT UPDATE : 11/24 is end date now, NOT 12/31!

The dev company apparently 'announced' (internally leaked) that all employees were let go and the game is actually closing in two days instead of the original six weeks.... game's done on Friday, 11/24.

Yup, that happened.


(11/25) Latest Update: Servers are still up... for unknown reasons and for unknown time.

Supposedly, the company is now a ghost-cubicle-town, so the game might stay up until those in charge can figure out who's still around to flip the server switch to 'off'.


(11/27) FINAL UPDATE: Game is officially donezo.

So Black Friday 2017 marks the end of Marvel Heroes Omega. The chosen date seems intentional to me.

Would be funny if people were to vote this game for the "No Apologies" or "Labor of Love" Steam award

Actually me and many friends vote the game for few categories, the game was awesome for long time. The problem was the "new" Gazillion, more than other his CEO. Lots of ppl going to miss MH, thats for sure.

was going to try to blitz through some achievements before the game died, figured six weeks with all the DLC and massive xp boost in place wouldn't be an issue, but only a day... wasn't nearly enough time..

As is standard with Gaz, they can't get anything right and the game is still up even though Nov 24 has come and gone. They're now giving everyone $25 of in-game currency per day though for whatever reason ...

As BloodyRo said. It's something like 25000 G per day now, was 1000 G.

Last info per ex-devs is "probably/maybe Monday, probably not on the weekend".

Looks like it's finally dead. I'll miss the game it once was, but not the game it had become, and much less the company.
