After much speculation, Marvel and Square Enix announced late this week that an “Avengers” initiative is actually for a video game.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the game, Developed by Crystal Dynamics ("Tomb Raider") and Eidos-Montréal ("Deus Ex"), the new game is just one of the many projects the two companies will embark on with their "multi-year, multi-game partnership." Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal are household names when it comes to creating video games with impressive graphics and gameplay.
The announcement was in the form of a YouTube video. Voiced over by a woman, the video showed a scene similar to Tony Stark’s hallucination back in “Captain America: Civil War.” It is also to note that apart from Iron Man’s glove, the video featured a pair of broken eyeglasses, Thor’s beloved Mjolnir hammer, and Captain America’s shield. Although the teaser is short, Polygon said the mission apparently is to reassemble. It is to note that in “Civil War,” Thor and Iron Man separated ways, while Captain America leads the Avengers. PC Advisor cited theories which said that the story could happen before the group split up or will be tied into the upcoming “Avengers: Infinity War” storyline.
Although there are no other details available, it has been said that the game will feature an original story. It would be interesting to know if this story would involve getting all three major superheroes together. On the other hand, PC Advisor expects that more details to be released in 2018, and that the video game will debut much later.
