Developed by Crystal Dynamics,Marvel’s Avengersis an action role-playing game that allows fans to become Earth’s mightiest heroes. The game has an all-new narrative campaign heavily inspired by the Marvel Cinematic Universe iteration of the superteam, with just enough comic-book elements to keep things fresh. Thegame was received with mixed reviews, with critics praising the story and the characters, but pointing out how the core gameplay revolves around a repetitive experience based on replaying missions to collect loot.
Unfortunately, this also meansMarvel’s Avengersdidn’t sell enough copies to turn a profit for Square Enix, which reported an estimated loss of $63 million in last year’s balance. New fixes and updates have been constantly pushed to the game since its launch back in September 2020 as a way to keep the player base engaged and keep the multiplayer mode ofMarvel’s Avengersalive.
Each story expansion ofMarvel’s Avengersalso comes with new content for the game’s raids, including new items, levels and bosses. Hawkeye’s expansion also increased the level cap, giving players a new reason to keep playing with all available characters. We still don’t know what elseWar for Wakandawill bring to the table, but as soon as news for the expansion is released, we’ll be sure to report it all here.
