In a new video released today, the Crystal Dynamics development team provides a deeper dive into Marvel’s Avengers gameplay, story, AIM narrative, mission variety, Super Hero customization, and much more.
The video dives into the game’s customization, showing off the various costume changes each hero can utilize. If your favorite Hulk is Joe Fixit or if Iron Man’s armor wars look was more your taste, Crystal Dynamics has combed the 75 year history of Marvel for inspiration.
Players begin their journey as Kamala Khan and learn the origins of her extraordinary powers. As the story expands, Kamala plays an essential role in bringing the disbanded Avengers back together. As each Super Hero rejoins the roster, players must master their unique abilities, rebuild and customize the team to face increasingly evolving threats only the Avengers together can defeat.
To date, this is the most comprehensive information Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have put forth on the upcoming Avengers game. Having Ms. Marvel as such a central figure is a bold move many fans have asked for in Marvel games. While it won’t appeal to everyone, Square Enix has clearly drawn the lines of their coloring book by establishing that while Kamala Khan is the vehicle that drives the narrative, gamesters will still get to play as their favorite Avengers with substantial impact on the gameplay experience.
Marvel’s Avengers is developed by Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider) in partnership with Marvel Games and published by Square Enix (Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, Just Cause). The Game launches on Stadia, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 15, 2020.
