Marvel and Gazillion Entertainment just announced that the new Marvel Heroes game will be in Open Beta this weekend! Just in case you haven’t heard of Marvel Heroes yet, here’s the official game overview:

Marvel Heroes is a FREE-TO-PLAY action-packed massively multiplayer online game created by David Brevik, the visionary behind Diablo and Diablo 2. Set in the iconic Marvel Universe, Marvel Heroes combines the core game-play style of Action RPGs and MMOs with the expansive library of heroes from the Marvel Universe. In the game, players can collect and play as their favorite Marvel Superheroes (including Iron Man, Thor, Wolverine, Hulk, Spider Man, Captain America and many others). Team up with friends and try to stop Doctor Doom from devastating the world with the power of the Cosmic Cube in a story written by Marvel comic super-scribe Brian Michael Bendis.

Starting heroes are pretty limited, but we have been promised full access to the entire stable of available heroes. You can, of course, spend some cash to unlock your favorite Marvel characters early. The Marvel Heroes Open Beta runs from 5:00pm PT Friday, May 10th through 10:00am PT Monday, May 13th. Currently, the game client is only available for PC (sucks to be Sithbot), but full Mac integration will be available after launch.
