Kabam and Disney’s Marvel Entertainment division have teamed up to create a second superhero mobile game.

The new game’s based on Marvel characters and it should deliver a “true-to-character role-playing game” for mobile devices, the companies said. The deal shows that brands increasingly matter as a means to stand out from the pack and nab players in the vast mobile audience. Mobile gaming is expected to hit $25 billion in worldwide revenues in 2014 and grow larger than console games in 2015, according to market researcher Newzoo.
