The game that has been known as Marvel Universe (but now appears to be more formally known as Marvel Heroes) that is the MMO in development at Gazillion Entertainment will be using the Unreal 3 Engine to power it.

While little is really known about Gazillion’s development of the Marvel MMO title or when it might be released, the selection of the Unreal 3 Engine could signal a shift in the development process that we now believe is moving ahead at full speed.

Rumors are that the game was targeted for a late 2012 release; but now it is looking like a 2013 release is more likely, according to our sources. We must caution you, however, that so little is known thus far about the status of the development or what the developers plans are that we could take all of it with a grain of salt.
