Gazillion Entertainment låter meddela att det nu är över 1,5 miljoner spelare som har bestämt sig för att leka hjälte i Marvel Heroes sedan det släpptes den 4 juni. De passade samtidigt även på att bekräfta att den första stora expansionen - nya området Asgard - kommer att släppas i höst.

Såhär säger Gazillion Entertainment-bossen David Brevik i pressreleasen: "We are honored by this incredible one and a half million registered user milestone and thank everyone who has played Marvel Heroes. As the Marvel Heroes community continues to grow and expand, we're working hard to make the game play experience even better and add new content to the game.
