As part of its third-quarter earnings conference call today, Activision revealed the official title its upcoming Marvel-based RPG: Marvel Legends.



The title isn't a shock coming from the company that brought us the X-Men Legends series, though it does give gamers something easier to say than "that Marvel RPG thing Activision is working on."

Marvel Legends is developed under an agreement with Marvel Enterprises, allowing Activision to develop an RPG featuring an "ensemble cast" of Marvel characters. Of course, this could mean Spider-man, the X-Men, the Fantastic Four, as well as characters like Ghost Rider, Daredevil, and the Punisher -- a rowdy bunch indeed.

Activision currently expects to ship Marvel Legends after the first quarter of its new fiscal year -- meaning between April 2006 and March 2007.
