A reliable source has confirmed to Next-Gen that Microsoft is cancelling the superhero MMO Marvel Universe Online.
As Crytpic Studios' development of Marvel Universe ramped up, NCsoft was eventually forced to outright buy Cryptic's original superhero MMO, the NCsoft-published City of Heroes, says our source. Now Microsoft has decided to cancel Marvel Universe, which leaves Cryptic with plenty of time and a nice chunk of change from the City of Heroes sell-off to develop a new IP.
The source, who wished to remain anonymous, said that an official announcement will be made in a few weeks about the demise of the game, unless something "drastic" occurs.
Whether due to publisher deals gone sour, licenses expiring, feuds between developer and publisher and other reasons entirely, there’s a wide range of games that you just can’t buy digitally anymore.
No One Lives Forever 1+2 is on Internet Archive for free.

Torrents are there. I actually have the original CD's from NOLF 2, never going to part with them.😁

While i have a disc with the game, i was able to find it on a torrent ru tracker with at least 3 people seeding right now and it was downloaded 450+ times.
I wouldn't send a link (so i wouldn't get banned). But, i think, torrent or P2P are probably the last mostly reliable way to find old games no one cares about. I was able to find «Fable» there. Not the Lionhearts' Fable, but very old point-n-click adventure.
I still have my PS3 copy of Spec Ops, Battlefield Bad Company 1&2 & Marvel Ultimate Alliance 1/2.
Planning to replay those and a few others, but the controls feel so loose now compared to modern games.
Change the title to: Amazing Games That Have Been Abandoned by Stupid Publishers Who Don't Care About their Legacy, so You Should Pirate and Enjoy them.
Okay, maybe that title was a bit too long. 😅
I missed out on the chance to buy BFBC1 on Xbox and I just want to kick myself silly. One of the best PS3 experience of my life. The feeling, impact, sound design of this game was leagues better than BF games that followed
Activision and Raven Software's 2006 action role-playing game, Marvel: Ultimate Alliance, has found its way to the Xbox Store.
Used to love this one, but X-Men Legends 1 and 2 will always be my favorites, especially Rise of Apocalypse. Would pay some good money to play it today with online multiplayer, back then I had no way to get a modem
I remember buying them dirt cheap on the PS4 and then a few days later I read they were delisted. I was wondering why the bundle was price so low and got my answer when that happened.
Sad to say this is one game franchise next to the Xmen that needs a sequel. I use to play the hell out of Xmen Legends and Marvel Ultimate Alliance. Was great when my cousin had the OG Xbox play with four other people and then playing online. Great games glad to see it reappear even though I own the discs love the mechanics of this game.
I thought it looked awful, but I actually fell in love with it. To this day one of my favorites on the Switch.
Misleading. This page is whats available for people who owned the game prior to delisting.
Yeah I'm kind of miffed about that headline. But the information in the article does give me a little hope. I really want to play these games on the PS5! I would assume if Activision actually is planning on relisting them on the Xbox Store, it would be relisting them on the PS Store as well?
Remember the days of four-player couch co-op? The Wealth of Geeks team certainly does. This list brings us back to the golden years of the original Xbox with the best four-player games that were available.
Marvel Universe Online, might not even be canceled for long. Microsoft might just change developers.
Personally I would rather have Marvel Universe canceled over Alan Wake or Too Human.
I though 1up said the game that was getting canned had alot of fans? o_o
and yeah I agree Flux.
Also, we have enough MMOs comming 08
Too many will ruin the others (if one gets too popular)
This was the right thing to do :P
I'd rather play Age of Conan MMO
or ofc the best MMO comming this 08
HUXLEY :D
i want to play COH on my 360. thats about the only mmo i enjoy playing, not a liscend version on a marvel or DC world and its heroes
To be truthful...I had totally forgotten about it. Not all that sad to hear it go... Actually a little relieved its shelved as opposed to some of the others that were being speculated on.
I was excited about this when I first heard the news at X06, but then I was hoping there wouldn't be a monthly fee, but no info was ever given about that or much of the games story, gameplay, features, etc...
To say I was excited would be an understatement, since nothing as been shown to get excited about. So, now, that is probably being canceled isn't that big of a loss. I'm just really glad it wasn't Too Human or Alan Wake..and maybe to a lesser extent Banjo 3.
