Marvel Heroes Omega, the free-to-play PlayStation 4 action role-playing game, is entering closed beta from Friday, 21st April – and you'll be able to pay for access. While the final version of the superhero outing will be complimentary, those of you who purchase the founder's pack will be guaranteed access to the aforementioned server stress test.
There'll be six founder's packs for you to purchase, each containing different items and carrying varying price models. They'll all guarantee access to the closed beta, though. Here's what you'll find on the PlayStation Store:
- Avengers Founder's Pack
- Deadpool Founder's Pack
- Guardians of the Galaxy Founder's Pack
- Spider-Man Founder's Pack
- War Machine Founder's Pack
- X-Men Founder's Pack
There'll be discounts on in-game purchases for PlayStation Plus subscribers, though it's perhaps worth mentioning that any progress you make in the closed beta will be wiped before the game releases proper. Any microtransactions you do buy will be refunded, however, so it's not like you're going to find yourself out of pocket.

I don't like rubbishing games before I've played them or seen them in detail, but have to admit the trailer really didn't make me even slightly interested in this. Think I'll be waiting for Spider-Man PS4 and Marvel vs Capcom Infinite for my comic book fix.
I don't think I will buy any founders packs, but it will depend on the prices too. Having to restart when I already have around 30 characters on PC is lame, but the 2 players co-op seems fun.
Eh, not much of an incentive to "buy in" to the beta unless you're getting at least a 50% discount on founders packs. It's fun for awhile, but it doesn't have the staying power of Diablo 3. Ironic considering Brevik is involved....
@SegaBlueSky
Why not buy the Ultimate Alliance pack on psn ?
It's on sale.
@Bliquid I haven't played since the 2016 big update, so i'll have to take another crack at it sometime. It just felt very grindy at launch, which most hack and slash games tend to do, but it was just boring. Special moves lacked any real oomph, and with everyone running around it had a weird MMO feel to it. I'll give it a shot though, nothing to lose!
For a Free to play game...why not try it? Seems fun enough for some hours playing with my favorite and BEST heroes (sorry DC your movies are garbage).
Well, I'll try it
Btw, what are the prices? Can't seem to find it on PS4
@AFCC Not up yet.
Is there any gameplay footage of this out? I'm dying for a good super hero game.
So, they are asking consumers to pay to stress test the game? I have seen a few games do this and all I wonder is why? Especially as progress is wiped.
@Shellcore No different from Paladins or smite where you were paying to play the game early. Admitedly both those games offered far better value as you had access to all the heroes for a small price. Progress wipe is annoying.
