Niantic showed off a new location-based game Marvel World of Heroes, coming in 2023.

The company showed off the title at the close of the Disney & Marvel Games Showcase. The game showed off people in real world locations fighting unseen enemies.

It seems to be similar to Pokémon Go and other Niantic titles. But the companies didn’t say anything more about it. We’ll assume it’s coming on mobile gaming platforms.
