Video game developer Gazillion is announcing that it is adding War Machine as the fiftieth playable character in Marvel Heroes 2015, while also introducing a range of other pieces of content for already existing superheroes that gamers can become.

Anthony Gallegos, the game designer who worked on the new protagonist, states, "He isn't naturally imbued with powers, but as a soldier he's trained to be adaptable. You see this in him in Marvel Heroes 2015 in the way that he utilizes a much wider arsenal than many other heroes. One look at his signature move is enough to make you glad he's one of the good guys."

War Machine might be linked to Iron Man in the comics, but his combat style in Marvel Heroes 2015 is rather that of a soldier bent on destruction, with less grace and more physicality, including the ability to deliver a nuke against the toughest opponents.

Spider-Man is getting a new team-up character in the form of Carnage, complete with solid voice work and a range of new weapons.

Cable is one of the original characters in Marvel Heroes 2015 and gamers will now be able to see a new version of him, which delivers new moves and powers.

The development team at Gazillion also says that it is adding the Danger Room, which Professor X uses to train his X-Men students, to the title in the coming update.
