For those gamers wondering where all the sweet Marvel games are depicting our greatest heroes and villains in combat, we have some great news today! Marvel Entertainment has announced a partnership with Square Enix, bringing the first in what’s sure to be a series of Marvel games to life. The following teaser video mentions both Crystal Dynamics (Tomb Raider) and Eidos Montreal (Deux Ex: Mankind Divided, Thief), so take a look!
Square Enix press release:
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.
As you can see, it looks like Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America are in for a rough time in whatever this initial game will deliver. Given that AVENGERS: INFINITY WAR is set to hit on May 4, 2018, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this game hit after that. Until then, here’s hoping they deliver on the fun that Ultimate Alliance did!
