The Avengers: Square Enix Creating New Marvel Game
Earlier this week, Marvel Entertainment teased a big announcement that was finally revealed today. And that announcement is a pretty huge bombshell. Marvel and Square Enix are collaborating on a new video game project for The Avengers property. You can check out an announcement for the new game in the player below.
This is part of a new multi-year, multi-game partnership that was also announced by Marvel and Square Enix that starts with The Avengers. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal are developing the new game for The Avengers. You might know the studios as the ones behind the Tomb Raider franchise and also Deus Ex.
The Avengers game will feature an original story. More details on the project and other new Marvel games will be announced in 2018. So the release for The Avengers is likely still a ways off. The trailer offers hints at The Hulk, Iron Man, Thor and Captain America. While details are vague, the trailer hints that these heroes are gone or have been defeated. The voice-over from a female character says “The world needs heroes. We just need to re-assemble.” That’s before the Avengers logo pops up. So, perhaps this team will focus on a group of newer Avengers taking over from the old guard, but that’s just a guess.
The Avengers project is being designed for gamers worldwide and will be packed with all the characters, environments, and iconic moments that have thrilled longtime fans of the franchise. Featuring a completely original story, it will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come. More details on The Avengers project and other games will be announced in 2018
