Marvel Entertainment, Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, Crystal Northwest, Nixxes Software, and Eidos-Montreal have finally taken the lid off of their long-anticipated Marvel's Avengers. It's been in the works for a while now and now that it's finally been shown off, it seems like the wait will have been worth it.
Marvel's Avengers is looking to be released on May 15, 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC.
Marvel's Avengers will allow 1 to 4 players at a time to get that much closer to their childhood fantasy of becoming a real Super Hero. The game is said to be an "ever-expanding universe" over multiple years that will add in more and more content as time goes on. This includes new areas, new quests, and even a growing roster of Heroes to play as. The initial roster of Heroes will be Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, the Hulk, and Thor. Ant Man was also teased a bit in the end of the trailer.
The best part about this is the fact that every new Hero and region added to the game will be added at no additional cost to the player. They made sure to specify that the Heroes and regions would be free. There does seem to be some PlayStation 4 exclusive content, but the full details about this were not fully revealed tonight.
Marvel’s Avengers invites players to live their Super Hero dreams. Outstanding storytelling and an ever-expanding universe come together in the definitive Avengers gaming experience. Master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, assemble into teams of up to four players, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.
Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all Super Heroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
“Crystal Dynamics is one of the industry’s most talented and respected game development studios, and we couldn’t be more excited about their ambitious vision for Marvel’s Avengers,†said Jay Ong, EVP, Head of Games at Marvel Entertainment. “It will thrill our fans and serve as a key part of Marvel’s storytelling, delivering an authentic and innovative take on our heroes as never been seen before.

Marvel’s Avengers features a cinematic story, complete with the high-octane action that Crystal Dynamics is known for. Featuring regular content updates, the game will take players on an epic journey delivered over multiple years.
“We’ve assembled world-class developers from across the industry to bring players on an unforgettable journey,†said Ron Rosenberg, Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics. “To ensure a truly heroic experience for all players, we’re announcing that our narrative will be delivered over multiple years, with no random loot boxes or pay-to-win scenarios.
