Marvel's Avengers is an upcoming narrative-based, action-adventure video game developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal and published by Square Enix. Based on the Marvel Comics superhero team the Avengers, the game is inspired by the long-running comic book mythology and adaptations in other media.

A new look at Marvel's Avengers came today and it included information on the story, hero missions, customization, and co-op.

Three different looks and more information dropped today for Marvel's Avengers during IGN's Summer of Gaming presentation.

The first trailer showed the story, which features Kamala Khan in the aftermath of A-Day. She has come to know of a conspiracy involving AIM, and is trying to reassemble the Avengers. Here, an enemy called Modok has surfaced. The character dates back to more than 50 years in Marvel history. He can control machines with his mind and is the overlord of AIM, the science-based organization which has outlawed superheroes.

Along with Modok, a Thor hero mission called Once and Avenger was shown in the second trailer.

Hero missions are single-player and will focus on a single hero. The one starring Thor showed off his moves such as manual targeting which allows you to mark enemies with a bullseye, ground pound, hammer spin, and throwing your hammer.

Heroes have three different heroics – assault, support, and ultimates. As heroes gain experience, they will earn points that will allow you to build up your hero. This will also allow you to customize your hero which will allow you to have your own playable version of the hero, which may be different from another's. Each hero has a combo system, Heroic moves, an intrinsic ability, and signature move sets to unlock and customize.

Customization also includes dozens of outfits that can be earned through play, and they will span the 80-year history of the comics. Some require the completion of missions, and some will only be available through the online marketplace.

The stream also revealed more of the game's world, from AIM's research facilities to a derelict Helicarrier, all of which can be explored by players to earn new rewards, gear, and experience points.

A third trailer showed co-op and War Zones, these can be played either solo with AI hero companions, or in co-op groups of up to four players.

The game is out on September 4, and more information on the game and a reveal of the first post-launch hero will be provided at a later date. It will also be made available on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

That is more impressive than I thought it would be. It looks fairly deep in terms of unlockable skills, new characters etc as well. It's definitely gone up a bit in my estimation. We shall see what future "war tables" bring.

I've now watched some gameplay on Twitch and YouTube and I'm not really impressed with the game.

It seems more like a Ms Marvel game with the Avengers making guest appearances. When I saw the launch trailer it was Capt America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk and Black Widow but instead, we get Kamala as the main character.

I don't hate Kamala but I don't know her either. When Ultimate Alliance 3 came out they had a large roster of new and old characters and let you pick who you wanted on your team to play as but this game chooses the character you play as in the main story missions.

I've cancelled my preorder but maybe I'll pick this up later when it's on sale.

One full day of playing it and I have to say I'm enjoying it so far. I am up to a point where I have a good few characters unlocked so I will do some levelling on them later on and see how well the game opens up then.

Angry Joe did a video on this:



I'm most probably not gonna buy it even if I have a PS4. The microtransactions are grotesque. I've hated that system in their prior game, Marvel Heroes 2016.

So far I'm enjoying it for the most part. I'm hopping in for an hour and coming back every so often. I've just gotten to the fight on the Chimera. Playing on hard level, here are my thoughts on the game so far

Pros for me:
Good, engaging story
Good character relationships
Gameplay is fun
Combat is rewarding and generally smooth

Cons:
Loading times
Camera lock can be finicky
No real sense of reward with gear
Maps are very one dimensional

It's good, overall, and reminds me of Fallen Order in every way which is OK.
