Cryptic Studios, developers of City of Villians and City of Heroes along with their publisher, NCSoft, have settled all cases with Marvel Entertainment, creators of such comic book franchises as the X-Men and Spider-Man. No changes will be made to either the CoH or CoV character creation systems.

While Cryptic has not announced any plans after City of Villians, Marvel has announced a next-generation MMORPG for the Xbox 360.
