Marvel and Square Enix are teaming up to make a series of Marvel games.

Original blockbuster games in development at award-winning games studios!
Marvel Entertainment and SQUARE ENIX® today announced a new multi-year, multi-game licensing agreement to develop and publish original games based on beloved Marvel Super Heroes, beginning with The Avengers. This newly established partnership pairs the creative minds at Marvel and Square Enix for one of the most powerful alliances in interactive entertainment. The first blockbuster game is being crafted by Crystal Dynamics®, developers of the award winning Tomb Raider® series, in collaboration with Eidos-Montréal, the home of the critically acclaimed and award-winning Deus Ex game series.

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. More details on The Avengers project and other games will be announced in 2018.

The world premiere teaser trailer of The Avengers project can be seen here.

“By partnering with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal, we are now working with two of the industry’s most talented and respected game development studios to bring Marvel stories to life in ways our fans have never experienced,“ said Jay Ong, Senior Vice President, Games & Innovation, Marvel Entertainment. “The Avengers project is a perfect example of how Marvel is making games a key part of the landscape for Marvel storytelling, alongside comics, television and film. We can only do this by matching our greatest Super Heroes with the world’s top developers, such as the creative minds at Square Enix.”

“Marvel’s diverse, innovative universe has created millions of longtime fans, including all of us,” said Phil Rogers, CEO, Square Enix Americas and Europe. “It’s exciting to bring together Square Enix’s award-winning development studios with Marvel’s extraordinary storytellers to establish a new entertainment powerhouse. This collaboration of passion and talent will craft epic, imaginative experiences allowing gamers to live out their Super Hero dreams like never before.”



I, for one, am excited, though 2018? FFS....
 
Holy shit yes. Avengers with Deus Ex or Tomb Raider mechanics = take my money.
 
IM FUCKING

As always, I'll wait for reliable reviews before getting hyped.
 
Need to wait and see how this pans out, definitely intrigued though
 
The problem is always powers. Unless they limit either the powers via story is certain characters per level, or story based reduction of power. You have to program each level to accommodate everyone's power set. And despite having some preset mechanics from tomb raider or deus ex, they have to overhaul the engine.
 
No more info until 2018 is pretty lame. I will withhold any hype until I see some gameplay.
 
I will probably buy this anyway.
 
CD is pretty much my least favorite developer that is a decent size.
 
My body is ready. Square (I'm a fan boy) plus Avengers = nerd boner.
 
Not 100% sold on it yet because there's not been any proper gameplay and I'm not entirely sure what type of game it is. The voice cast is great though, Square Enix is a solid developer, and it's Avengers so I'm still interested.
 
Zero game play footage after all this time... That's a concern. I get that we've all been a bit spoiled by the MCU actors in these roles lately but the faces look fucking awful regardless... Especially Widow, looks like a dude. Cap looks like a geek in a swat team outfit.

Kinda killed the excitement.

Yeah... I am usually very forgiving with these things but I think they need to adjust BW... She's supposed to be an alluring beautiful assassin...
 
The characters look and voices remind me of this
