Marvel’s Avengers movies represent some of the biggest films in the industry at the moment, acting as tent pole films between the various MCU films, bringing together all the mighty heroes to save us all in spectacular fashion.
The same can’t be said about Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers GaaS title. Plagued by controversy since the original reveal, it was never able to satisfy fans they way it should have.
Once Embracer Group bought developer Crystal Dynamics from Square Enix, everyone started to wonder what was going to happen to the future of Marvel’s Avengers going forward.
Worry no more, Brah. As CD put on their digital Infinity gauntlet, gathered the Infinity stones, and snapped Marvel’s Avengers out of their existence.
Starting March 31st, the last major balancing/support update will hit, making all cosemetic content FREE! Then come September of this year, Crystal Dynamics will walk away from the game.
The official statement:
To our amazing community,
After two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, following Update 2.8 on March 31, 2023, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers. All official support for the game will end on September 30, 2023.
Even after official support ceases on September 30, 2023, both single- and multi-player gameplay will continue to be available. See below for more information.
Update 2.7, which added the Winter Soldier Hero and Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat, is the last new content to be added to the game. No new cosmetics are coming to the Marketplace, and all final balance updates will occur in Update 2.8 in March.
Along with the end of development, we’ll also be turning off the cosmetics Marketplace. When Update 2.8 launches on March 31, 2023, Credits will no longer be purchasable and all remaining Credit balances will be converted into in-game resources to aid ongoing adventures. Here is a table with the resources that will be granted based on existing Credit balances:
As a show of our appreciation for our community, starting March 31, 2023 we will make all the game’s Marketplace, Challenge Card, and Shipment cosmetic content available to all players for free. Every single Outfit, Takedown, Emote, and Nameplate from the Marketplace, Challenge Cards, and Shipments will be free for all players from this date onwards if you own a copy of the game.
Gifting the full library of Marketplace cosmetic content is a way to thank our community by letting everyone experience the breadth and depth of content in Marvel’s Avengers.
We know this is disappointing news as everyone in our community has such a connection to these characters and their stories. We’re so, so grateful that you came on this adventure with us. Your excitement for Marvel’s Avengers – from your epic Photo Mode shots, to your threads theorizing who our next Heroes would be, to your Twitch streams – has played a large part in bringing this game to life.
We hope you continue to play and enjoy Marvel’s Avengers. We can’t thank you enough for your support and for being part of our super team.
– Marvel’s Avengers Development Team
