Today’s good news for Master x Master fans is that the game has a closed beta coming up. The next test will be between April 6th and April 27th, ahead of the game’s full launch in the summer. All of that is good news, but it kind of gets overshadowed by the game’s other simultaneous announcement of a new hero in the game’s lineup… Statesman.
Yes, from City of Heroes. Someone decided to add one of the most loathed characters from a dearly departed game that many fans are still upset about losing. It’s one of those rare situations where you’re not even sure what to be upset about first.
The bright side is probably that Statesman at least seems to play true to form, so he’s got all sorts of melee abilities, moves around quickly, and can activate Heroism as his ultimate ability. And he’s from a game that NCsoft shut down, we cannot stress that point enough. Just… check out some screenshots and a trailer down below; no one here is sure how to feel at the moment.
