The apology comes from a former creative director at Virtuos.

Marvel's Avengers was not a great game. It was not quite what most would call "good" either. With active development of the game ending fully this year, it seems like it's time for some former employees to come forth and offer their thoughts on just how it all went wrong.

One such person to come forward with a comment is Virtosu Cezar, a former creative director at Virtuos. Virtuos was one of the support...

Plans to bring active development to an end have reportedly accelerated at Crystal Dynamics.

Update at 6PM (ET), January 20, 2023: This rumor has now been officially confirmed by Crystal Dynamics.

In short, digital sales of the game and developmental support will discontinue on September 30, 2023. The final update (Update 2.8) coming March 31, 2023 will be the last content update. The in-game cosmetic Marketplace will be turned off. With Update 2.8, Credits will no longer...

Yes, Crystal Dynamics is still releasing content for this game.

On November 29, The Winter Soldier will join the roster of playable characters in Marvel's Avengers. Crystal Dynamics announced this in a new blog post alongside word about the Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat in Update 2.7.

Crystal Dynamics say that The Winter Soldier will be a unique character but will share some bits of both Captain America and Black Widow will be noticeable in his moves and abilities. There...

She was added as part of a free update released today.

Jane Foster's Mighty Thor was just added to Marvel's Avengers today. Foster was first teased back in the far-off time of April 2022 with a short, animated teaser. Today, she was released to everyone that owns the game as part of a free update.

Developer Crystal Dynamics offers up a deep-dive video that showcases her abilities and what they'll offer to this action game. The comparisons to Thor Odinson are obviously...

Yep, that's Spider-Man.

It was recently revealed that Spider-Man would be coming to Marvel's Avengers on November 30th. Just keep in mind that Spider-Man and his story content are exclusive to the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 versions of Marvel's Avengers.

Today, IGN got an exclusive first look at Spider-Man's intro video into Marvel's Avengers.

The trailer is a cinematic that introduces the web slinger. We don't see any gameplay in the video but we do...

The web-slinger will be added alongside the new patch 2.2 for the game.

On November 30th, patch 2.2 will be released for Marvel's Avengers. This update will include a new four-player raid where players will take on Klaw. In addition, this is the date in which Spider-Man will be added exclusively to the PlayStation version of the game.

The 2.2 update will also include "several new and improved systems" for players to utilize. For instance, there will be a power...

Fans are not at all happy.

Long ago, promises were made by developer Crystal Dynamics and publisher Square Enix that "pay-to-win" mechanics would never be introduced to Marvel's Avengers. For a while, that promise was kept. Today, that promise was broken.

With the release of Marvel's Avengers on Xbox Game Pass comes a new addition to the game: Paid XP boosts.

The in-game market for Marvel's Avengers was recently updated to include XP boost consumables...

The PlayStation exclusive character will have more content not available anywhere else.

When Spider-Man is added to Marvel's Avengers, presumably by the end of the year, it will be more than just a simple character addition. This PlayStation exclusive character will not only be playable only on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, but he will also come with added story content and additional cutscenes. This content will not be made available to any other platform.

Crystal...

We know that Spidey is coming this year, but not the exact date.

Crystal Dynamics released a fresh roadmap today for the content and updates coming in 2021 for Marvel's Avengers. This includes the first details for the game's first raid, information about a level cap increase, and the fact that Spider-Man will be added to the PlayStation versions later this year. This was all shared today as part of the team's latest State of the Game blog posting.

This latest State of...

A new hero, villains, enemies, and more added.

Today marks the release of Marvel's Avengers expansion Black Panther - War for Wakanda. This is available as a free update to everyone that owns the base game. It adds in Black Panther, who is now the ninth playable Hero for the game. This expansion also adds in two new villains, a new area to explore, new enemies, the Birnin Zana Outpost, a new Drop Zone, new Threat Sector missions, and more.

This update is supposedly the...

The first end-game challenge is now available.

Square Enix just released the free and first ever end-game challenge for Marvel's Avengers. This update includes an Omega-Level Threat challenge called Family Reunion. According to Square Enix, Omega-Level Threat missions require a full four-player team at Power Level 145 of above. Players are free to run through these as many times as you like. Rewards for completion include some of the best gear currently available in the game, though...

Lost in translation.

An earlier report about the upcoming Wakanda campaign for Marvel's Avengers said that the new content would take players about 25 hours to complete. This report, presented by Entertainment Weekly, claimed that the 25 hours would be in addition to the content available in the base game.

Unfortunately, that seems to be a misinterpretation by the person who wrote the article. Square Enix clarified what was actually meant by this "25 hour" remark....

So yeah, maybe don't stream that game right now.

Crystal Dynamics issued a warning to streamers that are considering streaming Marvel's Avengers to the public. As of the recent 1.8.0 patch, the PlayStation 5 version of the game now shows the IP address of the person playing at the bottom of the screen.

After the patch went live, Crystal Dynamics took to Twitter to say that they were investigating an issue related to "a floating sting of text" appearing on players'...

Also joining those games is The Long Dark.

PlayStation's streaming service, PlayStation Now, will be growing by three titles in the month of April. These titles include Marvel's Avengers, Borderlands 3, and the exploration-survival title The Long Dark. It's a pretty solid lineup of titles that cover a wide array of genres.

For those that have not yet tried PlayStation Now, Sony offers a seven day free trial for both the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. There was also apparently...

Hawkeye and other new content is also now available.

Square Enix announced today that the next-gen update for Marvel's Avengers is now available for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Those that own the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One versions of the game will get a free upgrade to the next-gen version with all of their save games transferring over to their new devices.

In addition to the next-gen update, the second post-launch Operation for the game is now available. This...
