New Avengers Game in the Works?

by

Summary

  • A new standalone Avengers game is rumored to be in development.
  • It’s said that the new game is not connected to the Crystal Dynamics Avengers game.

It’s being whispered that a fresh video game featuring the Avengers is under construction, one that supposedly doesn’t link to the Marvel’s Avengers game created by Crystal Dynamics. In 2020, Crystal Dynamics introduced Earth’s Mighty Heroes to consoles with a team-based, ongoing title, but this particular release didn’t impress the superhero gaming enthusiasts. The Marvel’s Avengers game faced criticism from the get-go for its monetization strategies and repetitive battle sequences, and it struggled to attract players due to these issues. Despite trying to sustain the game through post-release content, Crystal Dynamics eventually stopped developing Marvel’s Avengers in September 2023.

Even when a hero falls, they don’t stay defeated for long. Characters from Marvel’s Avengers have made appearances in other games. Some of these characters were playable in Marvel’s Midnight Suns and the newly launched Marvel Rivals. Captain America will be back in action alongside the Azurri version of Black Panther in Marvel 1943: Rise of Hydra, while Iron Man and the contemporary Black Panther (T’Challa) are each getting standalone titles from EA.

It’s been speculated that Earth’s strongest superheroes might have another video game opportunity, according to Comic Basics. This information comes from gaming insider Daniel Richtman, who has hinted on Patreon that Marvel is considering a new solo Avengers game following the success of Marvel Rivals. The only significant detail revealed so far is that this hypothetical game won’t be associated with Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers.

Rumored New Avengers Game Won’t Be Connected to Marvel’s Avengers

Over the past summer, there was a speculation about Marvel potentially creating a video game based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). However, no further details regarding this project have been disclosed yet. It’s possible that the “MCU Adjacent” title and the upcoming Avengers game mentioned by Daniel Richtman might be referring to the same project. But it should be emphasized that neither of these rumors have been confirmed as true at present.

Despite the fact that Marvel’s Avengers failed to meet the expectations of both players and developers, there remains potential for a fresh video game adaptation featuring these iconic characters. The success of recent titles such as Marvel Rivals and Insomniac’s Spider-Man series demonstrate that the Marvel universe continues to offer fertile ground for innovative interactive experiences. However, whether the Avengers will reunite for a new game remains to be seen, and it will take time to determine if they can steer clear of the issues that led to their previous project’s downfall.
