Hi everyone,

By now, you've likely caught sight of Peggy Carter's arrival in Marvel Puzzle Quest. To find out more about this amazing new version of Captain America (a Demiurge creation!) head over to Entertainment Weekly for an interview with Marvel Games Creative Director, Bill Rosemann​.

You can READ IT HERE.

Quote:
"'They really understood the woman under the mask,' Rosemann says of Puzzle Quest. 'They had the idea of, what if Steve Rogers was actually assassinated at the moment he was going to receive the super-soldier serum? And what if Peggy Carter instead took a step forward, and she joins the Super-Soldier Program in his place?'"

    ATTENTION MARVEL: I would totally read this What If?/AU/whatever in comic form.

    Is there a way we can get Marvel to make this actually happen? I would subscribe/watch/bring friends.

    Wow, that Sharon Carter alt version is... a little bit over the top.

    I love this initiative, and hope it becomes the first of several similar endeavours down the road -- game-exclusive new/alt versions of characters. (I particularly love that MPQ is getting Peggy Carter, as this is the Marvel game I put the most time into.)

    A+ job on her art, as well. Can't wait to collect & start using her.

    Hrrrmph? Bad writing strikes again? Well I guess Peggy officially drops on Thursday 6/30 ... already in event tokens but we'll keep that quiet.

    That article really gave short shrift to Marvel Heroes ... guess I'll have to go check their version out ... jut picked up Steve and Tony in the Steam Summer Sale ... for $2.50... icon_e_wink.gif

    Unless it was in an interview with IceIX or Cthulhu, the official announcement of a new character release is always the end date for the event, so the time that most people would receive it from their event rewards.

    I take it you are new here? New characters get added regularly, because that's how you keep interest up apparently. Whether that is sustainable is Another matter, but this has been going on ever since the beginning.

    hype
    (hahyp) Informal.

    Verb
    to create interest, stimulate or excite; promote or publicize showily.

    I know you could not reveal particulars of Peggy Carter before the special announcement hit all games... but sheez, at least say "this weekend a new, surprise character that is exclusive to MPQ is coming! To commemorate, the launching event will be double iso!". Or if even that was too much, just say "we have a special surprise coming to MPQ this weekend, keep an eye for it! Also, double-iso!"

    I've been saying this for a while (over a year?) but MPQ really needs a PR professional.

    I think in this case, there were contractual issues with who got to reveal what when.

    Which is exactly what I said in the very first sentence.
