Marvel Comics and China internet and online game service provider NetEase Games are teaming up in October and November for a series of variant covers featuring artwork from the mobile game Marvel Duel.
According to the publisher, the over 20 covers are a "diverse collection" representing every corner of the Marvel Universe from the Avengers to the X-Men. And Marvel might really mean it this time because Newsarama can't remember Redwing ever being featured on a variant cover ... much less any cover, before.
NetEase was in the news for another reason on August 31, for their acquisition of Paris-based game developer Quantic Dream, who are currently developing a High Republic-era Star Wars game titled Star Wars Eclipse, as well as a "poetic underwater adventure" game titled Under The Waves.
NetEase's acquisition of Quantic Dream gives the Chinese game service provider their first European studio.
Check out a gallery featuring 22 of the Marvel games variant covers along with a schedule of titles that will feature them.
