Cancelled MMU Games

The Cancelled MMU Games were a series of anticipated video game projects developed by Matjam02 intended for The MMU. However, these projects were ultimately cancelled and/or shelved before their intended release.

## Doctor Strange

Doctor Strange was an announced MMU project during ‘Matjam Studios Day’. It was set to be a 6-level horror-thriller game, loosely based off of the ‘Doctor Strange: The Oath’ comic run. It was shelved due to lack of interest.

## Spider-Gwen

Spider-Gwen was an unannounced MMU instalment, taking place in a parallel universe. The game was set in a reality where Gwen Stacy was bitten rather than Miles Morales during The Spider-Man. The project was being passed around developers (including Dinosaur\_1010 and Boom2ratz), but was cancelled due to lack of interest from potential publishers.

## Guardians Of The Galaxy

Guardians Of The Galaxy was an unannounced MMU instalment being developed by Dinosaur\_1010. The game’s first level was fully animated and programmed, following the Guardians (Star-Lord, Gamora, Drax, Groot & Rocket) stopping the Nova Corps from foiling their heist inside the Quarantine Zone. The game was shelved due to time constraints.

## Untitled Morbius Sequel

An Untitled MMU follow up to Morbius was in the early stages of development during production of the first game. The game was shelved due to Dinosaur\_1010 wanting to peruse Guardians Of The Galaxy instead.

## The Avengers

The Avengers was a semi-announced but shelved MMU game. The team was going to include: Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Hulk, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Spider-man, and Scott Lang. The game’s plot would’ve been loosely based on the ‘Secret Invasion’ storyline, following a Skrull invasion of Earth.

## Webs At Dust DLC

The Webs At Dusk DLC was a DLC add-on spin-off to The Spider-Man. It was shelved in preference for a spin-off game Spider-Man: Miles Morales. While it was cancelled, the story is still canon to the MMU. The story will be summarise below:

### LEVEL ONE

Mary Jane Watson (MJ), narrating in a serious and heroic tone, reports on the events of the past week. She reveals that after Wilson Fisk's disappearance from the city, Hammerhead and the Maggia have emerged. It appears that Fisk was keeping them in check. Meanwhile, Peter Parker decides to find Felicia (Black Cat) and sets up a meeting at the warehouse they last met at. MJ and Miles stay on communication. However, when Peter arrives at the warehouse, he is ambushed by the Enforcers. MJ, continuing her report, reveals that at the last moment, Peter is saved by Daredevil, also known as Matt Murdock. Daredevil informs Peter that Hammerhead plans to take over the city under Maggia rule. Together, Matt and Peter interrogate the lead enforcer, Jackson W. Brice, and discover that a deal is set to take place on Tuesday afternoon, where Hammerhead might be present. MJ wonders what will happen the following day.

### LEVEL TWO

Daredevil, narrating in a serious and heroic tone, reports on the events of the past week. He starts with Tuesday when he and Spider-Man arrive at the Maggia base with some police officers to raid it. However, it turns out to be an ambush by Hammerhead's men. Just when it seems hopeless, they are saved by Frank Castle, also known as the Punisher. Frank brutally eliminates the attackers, and Daredevil and Spider-Man attempt to stop him. Daredevil continues his report, mentioning that they managed to defeat Frank Castle, who warned them about the upcoming meeting. Frank assumed that not everyone would be present, as he believed it was a distraction set up by Hammerhead to blow up the bridges. As the realization dawns on them, the bridges explode, trapping everyone at the meeting location. Frank escapes into the night, leaving Spider-Man to go after him, hoping that he can handle the situation.

### LEVEL THREE

Spider-Man, narrating in a serious and heroic tone, reports on the events of the past week. He explains that since Tuesday, the city has been engulfed in a gang war, with violence rampant and the bridges destroyed. Hammerhead has seized control and keeps everything under lock and key. Determined to end his reign, Spider-Man discovers that Hammerhead has Felicia captive in Fisk's old office. He confronts Hammerhead and instructs Felicia to run. Spider-Man defeats Hammerhead and approaches Felicia, wanting to know what happened. Felicia reveals that Hammerhead had taken her hostage and planned to execute her. Spider-Man releases Felicia, and they agree to stay in touch. With Hammerhead's rule brought to an end, Spider-Man looks forward to mentoring Miles and helping him grow as a hero. The DLC concludes, leaving room for Spider-Man: Miles Morales

## Hybrid

Hybrid was an action-thriller MMU game being developed by DoggyBobToons. When asked for details, DoggyBob said: “ It follows Marvel's actual origin story pretty closely, but branches off to some different stuff afterwards. Basically, it involves Scott Washington and his brother, Derek, living normal lives in their Brooklyn apartment. However, Derek's been having some trouble with his former associates from the Easy X Gang, who've been getting more and more aggressive toward him lately. Scott, who pays their rent, is also on the brink of being fired from his job as a Life Foundation security guard. One day at the life foundation, 4 symbiotes derived from Venom; named Phase (who's name was originally spelled with a "g" rather than an "s", but was changed to please Scratch's awful bad word detector), Riot, Lasher, and Agony; broke out of their collective containment tube thingy during an emergency caused by some other MMU event. Scott, trying to save his job, tried to stop them, but in a desperate move to escape, the symbiotes all forcefully took over Scott as a vessel to get out of the lab. This begins the tutorial level, where the player learns to swap from their main form (Hybrid) to any of the other symbiotes' form. Each form has their own unique skillset to platform, solve puzzles, and battle enemies. It's sort of similar to how Lego games work, but this would be in 2D. Throughout the tutorial, the symbiotes and Scott exchange internal dialogue, where the symbiotes reveal that the experiments done on them were super painful, and that this was their only way out. Once the tutorial level is over, the symbiotes get blasted out of Scott by the chief guard's sonic blaster thingamajig, and they try to slither into a nearby vent. Scott is ordered to stop them, but after hearing of their pain, simply lets them go. Unfortunately, doing so resulted in Scott being fired. Upon his arrival home, Scott finds that the Easy X Gang broke into his house, and are holding Derek hostage. In an attempt to save his brother, Scott ends up getting shot in the leg. The gang leaves an unconscious Scott for dead and keep Derek as means of leverage against Scott or the authorities, and as an expendable slave. Scott wakes up in the hospital, no longer able to walk and furious about the kidnapping of Derek. A few days later, The symbiotes find Scott and bond to him, promising to help him find Derek. The remainder of the game is spent breaking into Easy X hideouts each level and fighting off Life Foundation guards and Easy X Gang members who are after Hybrid. Eventually they find Derek, but have to fight one foe before freeing him. The final boss wasn't ever decided, but I believe it was down to either the Life Foundation's chief guard--who didn't really care about Derek, but just wanted to kill off the symbiotes for good--and the Scream symbiote--who I have no idea why she'd even be involved with the plot. Then they'd save Derek and live happily ever after, yadda yadda yadda. Two sequels were considered, the first involved Carnage taking control over all your symbiotes but Phase--who Carnage considered deadweight due to Phase's overconfidence and ego. Scott would have to complete levels to build upon Phase's moveset whilst tracking Carnage down. Of course, playing as JUST Phase would be boring, so the player would also gain the form of Sleeper, another symbiote. Unlike the last one, THIS game would have several bosses, which are all symbiotes under Carnage's control. Some bosses, like Scream or Mania, for instance, would become new playable forms after their battles. Very little of the plot was planned out, but eventually Carnage would be defeated, and something would allude to the third game, that has only been planned to involve Toxin as the new villain, with no other details.” The game (and it’s potential follow-ups) nabe all since been shelved.
