The end is nigh.
~~~ Korea ~~~
From some of the people who did Marvel Future Revolution (Mobile-only), a PC MMORPG:

If NCSoft does City of Heroes 2, it will likely follow the style of BlackstormC's Project XT. Rather than following prior designs of Cryptic/Paragon/Dimensional Ink.
~~~ Japan ~~~
Nothing yet, but a couple of Fantasy/Sci-Fi MMO projects have gone under. They have yet to do a tokusatsu superhero/[inc. magical] superheroine, or even the modern takes like Tiger & Bunny, One Punch Man, My Hero Academia. So, there is a huge blank section for a Superhero MMORPG [or RPG>MMO] to push aside Fantasy and Sci-Fi in Japan.
~~~ China ~~~
MiHoYo is so far the center of original IP:
Honkai IP is basically Japan's Tokusatsu and Superpower genre combined.
Honkai Impact 3rd/Honkai Star Rail basically have modern Proto-MMO/MUD like features. They have also release a position for pre-planning gameplay for a Honkai MMO.
Other than Tencent=DC and Netease=Marvel non-OG/non-native IP, the other OG IP is basically so far limited to:
Don't Give Up! (RomCom with a Superhero/Superpower backdrop):

Villain Initialization (Regression Teen Superhero/Superpower):

To Be Hero X (third To Be Hero title: Superpower/Superhero):

Strategic Angels (Superpower):

more haven't had their PVs shown yet.
Which is all pretty much precursor indications to a deluge of Superhero/Superpower MMORPGs. As well more singleplayer style games to see the general direction of art. Of a potential Action MMORPG like Perfect New World, Black Deserts Re-release in China, Tower of Fantasy redo, etc. With a massive urban sprawl being the key "open world" for such a MMORPG.
