Marvel Heroes 2016 Announced, Secret Invasion Story Coming
Developer Gazillion has announced the next phase for Marvel Heroes 2015 — and that’s Marvel Heroes 2016, which brings new stories, controller support, and more this December.
Skrulls, including Kl’rt the Super-Skrull, lead the Secret Invasion story chapter, which is finally coming to Marvel’s dungeon-crawling RPG. In addition to new campaign missions, older 2013 character models are getting visual improvements. The Mac version of Marvel Heroes is also exiting its year-long beta phase.
On the smaller side of fan-demanded updates, Marvel Heroes wil add leaderboards, Steam Achievements, and game pad functionality. In the months after Marvel Heroes 2016 release, Gazillion will add the dinosaur-filled Savage Land Patrol Zone, a Thanos Raid, and other unannounced content to come next year.
IGN UK Podcast #300: Live From London
It's been a long time coming, but finally episode 300 of the IGN UK Podcast is here!
For those who managed to make it along on the night, thank you so much for coming and we hope you had as good a time as we did. For those of you who couldn't make it, do not fret as here we present the podcast in its (almost) entirety. Yes, we cut out The Great Bearparkini's magic show, because close-up magic doesn't really work that well on camera, but everything else in is here, ready sucked up and loved.
So saddle up and let's ride, Duckhunters!
Note: This podcast was recorded live in front of raucous audience at the 100 Club in London, so the audio quality isn't quite up to the standard of the regular podcast. Thanks for your understanding!

Nolan North: ‘Fans Don’t Want An Uncharted Movie’
Fans don't want an Uncharted movie, says Nathan Drake's voice actor, Nolan North.
Talking to GamesNewsOfficial (via VG24/7), North said that regardless of "who's the star of it", fans would find it too hard to acclimatise to a Drake with a different face - even if Drake was played by North himself.
"Maybe it's because it's such a cinematic experience in itself, but I don't know if it's financially feasible to make this film anymore," he said.
“I think the emotional investment people have with Nathan Drake is so high that it would be very difficult for them to accept somebody else - even me, with my face as Nathan Drake. They might recognise the voice, but I don’t even know if they’d accept me.”

Customers Accuse Ubisoft of ‘Deceptive Marketing’
Ubisoft is being accused of “deceptive marketing” pertaining to the Heroes of Might and Magic VII collector’s edition.
A host of disgruntled Reddit users, accompanied by an Imgur thread, believe Ubisoft misled customers regarding a physical copy of Heroes VII in the $100 collector’s edition. According to the consumers, the collector’s edition does not ship with a CD-based disc, despite being advertised with one.
“The CE Edition is advertised as coming with a PC DVD,” writes melchior1090 on Imgur. “But no game is even provided with the package. Buyers have to issue tickets to Ubisoft to have the game activated on their account. And are refused refunds.”
