We now know that the collaboration is actually for Hit-Monkey.<\/p>\n<p>The info has slipped out through a registered site from Marvel Characters Inc, which includes the image of a titular character, a deadly macaque, holding a pistol.<\/p>\n<p>The studios&#8217; logos were there, although have been pulled down since being found out.<\/p>\n<p>Hit-Monkey may not be a very well-known Marvel hero, although he will definitely have your attention soon. Hit-Monkey was created by Daniel Way and Dalibor Talaji\u0107 and debuted in 2010. The story follows a monkey, who picks up his lethal skills from observing a human hitman. After his clan is taken out, the macaque takes on the role of Hit-Monkey, and dedicates his life to hunting down hired killers.<\/p>\n<p>A game about a gun-wielding monkey? We&#8217;re in!<\/p>\n<p>Marvel and High Moon are expected to reveal the game at a Marvel video game panel next week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Hit-monkey.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-40998 aligncenter\" title=\"Hit-monkey\" src=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Hit-monkey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Hit-monkey.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Hit-monkey-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/07\/Hit-monkey-250x123.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 class=\"my-4\">Related articles<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/40324-the-best-games-you-probably-didnt-play.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The best games you probably didn\u2019t play<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40897-activision-to-release-walking-dead-fps.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Activision to release Walking Dead FPS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/40803-new-iron-man-game-in-the-works.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>New Iron Man game in the works<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/features\/40390-the-amazing-spider-man-retrospective.html\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>The Amazing Spider-Man retrospective<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Things are about to get bananas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":40996,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_enabled":true,"_sma_x_custom_text":"","_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[31,2809,5537,4083,5538],"class_list":["post-40934","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","tag-active","tag-high-moon-studios","tag-hit-monkey","tag-marvel","tag-marvel-comics"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40934","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/196"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40934"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40934\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":41019,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40934\/revisions\/41019"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40934"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40934"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40934"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
