Wolfman will write special story arcs, quests and in-game events for the game. Odds are he’ll be working closely with Geoff Johns who is writing the games overarching story. The best news is that this guarantees that this MMO will be story driven. If they pull this off that gives games like Knights of the Old Republic some hope of successfully making a story based MMO.
"Getting Marv on board with DC Universe Online shows just how passionate and determined we are about making sure this franchise delivers for both video game players and comic book fans alike," said John Smedley, president of SOE. "This is a true collaboration between the top talent at DC and SOE, and I believe the result of this creative alliance will be one of the most exciting, memorable online game experiences to date."
This is encouraging news for gamers everywhere that have been disappointed by games like City of Heroes and City of Villains. This is also a big win for PS3 owners everywhere considering that they don’t make many MMO’s for the console market. This game should be something to see and experience.
Marv Wolfman had this to say about the project, "As a gamer, this is a dream project in many ways," said Wolfman. "I get to create new stories in the DC Universe that will make this video game world a truly unique, unforgettable experience."
Now, if we can only get Marv Wolfman to take over the real DC Universe!
