Marvel Heroes is receiving a new update today, which gives players the chance to play as a new character and embark on new quests. The F2P, massively multiplayer online action-RPG, with creative input from Diablo and Diablo II‘s David Brevik, has been going strong since its release and features all the classic Marvel superheroes, such as Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers. Today brings new content, of which Gazillion and Marvel gave a full official breakdown, which follows below.

• Luke Cage – Players can now jump into the action as the near invulnerable Luke Cage. With super strength, unbreakable skin, and the ability to summon Heroes for Hire teammates, Luke Cage brings an all new play style.

• Prestige Mode – Players can now prove that they are the very best with Prestige Mode. After reaching the max level of 60, players have the option to restart at level 1 for the bragging rights of being a Prestige hero. Prestige heroes will be clearly visible to others with an exclusive color used in their name.

• Hero Synergy System – Each hero now unlocks account-wide synergy bonuses at levels 25 and 50 that can be equipped on any hero. Since every hero can equip up to ten synergy bonuses, including Hulk’s health bonus and Spider-Man’s increased chance to dodge, players now have access to more hero customization than ever before!

• Legendary Quests – Odin himself, All-Father of Asgard, is tasking heroes with new legendary quests! Completing these quests not only rewards the best experience in the game but also allows players to craft Legendary Blessings for their artifacts and more!

Gazillion also released an official changelog, which features every last little update in detail.
