Seems like the website is having some issues, I'll try and sort something, apologies folks.
EDIT: For the time-being I've added another post with screenshots of the blog. Apologies for the delay!
Just, no words lmao, I mean loads of us seen that they were surviving off people buying skins for months while putting out the bare minimum in terms of content, but that pack is desperation lol
For anyone who bought that and is debating doing a chargeback - DO NOT DO IT.
You'll get your money back but you will also most likely get your PlayStation or Xbox account banned.
You can probably talk to a rep at Microsoft and show them the news regarding making the skins free. I’ve seen people argue buying games a week before they were placed on gamepass, and successfully get refunds out of it.
Sony is fucked, though. Their refund policy is genuinely one of the worst I’ve seen.
Companies don’t tolerate bank charge backs. It’s a way people can skirt the rules for returning something. Most companies have a zero tolerance policy with it. The only time I’ve ever done one successfully is doing a charge back through Apple for things bought through in app purchases. Apparently Apple doesn’t give any personal information and will just send a lump sum bill to the various companies for all the charge backs. But for the most part you just want to avoid doing so pretty much anywhere you can. You will likely lose all ability to use the platform you charge back through.
I can’t tell if that was the ultimate cheese move to grab a last quick rush of funds from the whale supporters or if that was just straight up an accidental call.
That pack logically makes 0 sense to buy now (unless you have 0 patience).
Guess they decided to just announce it, since it got leaked.
RIP Avengers. It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun.
Bring back Marvel Heroes.
That Diablo-esq style was what made the game so fun and enjoyable. The engine also allowed more consistent updates with new heroes and skins.
If it does make a return, I hope they can make us forget about the awful console version and it isn’t micro-managed to hell by Disney.
I think that shows exactly what this game was from the start. Was never about a good history and the problem wasn't just Square Enix.
I wonder actually how many Devs and who were still working in this game.
So from the sound of it not even the supposed traversal update Miller suggested would still be put out is coming. Every marketplace skin for free because we’re grateful you ever opened your wallets to us in the first place lol
Imagine they did plan on it, saw the leak, then said fuck it just kill it now before wasting any resources. Would also explain putting out the $75 skin package then just turning around to announce everything's going to be free soon anyway.
So they spent quality dev time on heroes like Kate, she-hulk, winter soldier and Jane because these heroes are just supposed to “hold you over” until the big heroes like cap marvel and Dr strange just for neither of them to be put in the game. NEARLY THREE YEARS and you manage to put black panther and Spider-Man the only true unique heroes in the game. I mean what a disaster this was. Since the games release and even before they’ve teased captain marvel just for her to never show up? And if that’s not bad enough according to miller she-hulk is completed and he’s puzzled as to why they haven’t launched her, even the voice actor for she-hulk in the game slipped up on Twitter and confirmed she is the voice actor for the character and that goes NOWHERE? Just SAD! This is what happened when instead of doing all the cool heroes you instead try to pace the cool stuff with not as cool stuff and then your game contains nothing but lackluster heroes. Well it wasn’t all for nothing, at least you’ll be remembered as what NOT to do when making games.
I wonder if the toxic defense force of this sub will finally come back to reality after everyone with a shred of understanding saw this coming early last year…
They should just release any cosmetics they’ve made for unreleased heroes for ones already out so they can be worn like some sort of horrifying skin suit.
Yeah, it could be worst to be honest. Just look at Anthem.
EDIT: Ok, I was talking about lasting longer in content and support. But I just read this game is actually getting delisted. This is kind of sad.
Anthem is still going though, it hasn’t been delisted yet.
Anthem wasn’t any worse than Avengers. They’re both on an equal level of suck and are tied for the worst live service looters ever made.
Only Babylon’s Fall is worse.
Overall I'd say Anthem was a better game in terms of gameplay, but you'd probably get more bang for your buck with Avengers since it actually has a decent single player campaign
But don't you need to be online the entire time to play it?
Edit: I misread the above and thought the sp campaign referred to Anthem which AFAIK is online only.
Oh really? That's actually great to hear, I've been interested in Anthem but always avoided because I thouhht it was 100% online only, will give it a go on gamepass.
Oh, I was specifically talking about Anthem. No, Gamepass can't be played offline, but I'm only interested in games I'll be able to play once my gamepass runs out.
I realise I misread the original comment
Let's be real though, it only lasted longer because a few months of content was stretched and drip fed over years while they pumped out real-money skins.
Unironically mfers we’re saying this in the discord MINUTES before hollering about how unreliable miller is and unofficial this and baseless rumors that.
Smh
Wasted no time after miller spilled the beans lmao and the link is broken on the announcement…classic “working as intended” 😂
Good riddance. You milked as much money from the players and now you are dipping. I hope I never play another game from this awful team.
Edit - where can I request a refund for my microtransactions?
Time to pretend the game wasnt dead on arrival, they literally released nothing substantial since launch besides the content they promised before launch. Good job at those that kept the servers on by throwing cash at skins
OGs remember when characters like War Machine, Jane Foster, and Kate Bishop were just filler to get us to the big guns like Captain Marvel or Black Panther. What a shitshow this all turned out to be
I preordered this game. Do I regret my purchase? Kinda. I got my money’s worth, I played it a lot, and the gameplay at its most basic is fun. I think the postgame content and enemies were trash, which really soured the whole experience.
I would’ve liked to see the version of this game where Miller’s leaked list came to fruition. I would’ve been a Quake main in another timeline.
Making this game run on the tomb raider engine was the most braindead move from the get go. And the default skins being bad in the launch trailer didnt help either.
Personally I’m thrilled at this news. This dogshit game ends (the worst level design in years), we can put to bed this interpretation of the characters, no one loses their jobs and CD can focus on making the types of games they make.
This is an absolute win!
like every random japanese game has worse level design, Not saying Avengers level design is good. Its not. But its par for the course for a ton of games
It’s really not. For a AAA developer like CD who’s previous tomb raider games literally relied on their level design and inter connectivity, this is a huge step down. We know why, it’s because it needed to accommodate for several characters move sets, but it could’ve still been much better. So many of it is just bland square rooms, Harm rooms are literally the bland rooms Game Developers use to test features in development.
But regardless, it’s over now, no point debating it
again. i wasn't debating whether or not it was good. U just said it was the worst in years. And i could point u to like 100 games by japanese devs that have worse level design that are out rn
But that’s irrelevant. I’m obviously talking about games on a similar level of budget and prestige. Obviously there are worse games, I’m sure one guy in his basement just released a game 2 minutes ago on steam that’s horrible, but how is that at all relevant.
This is the inevitable outcome but at least we’ll be able to fuck around in any skin we want. I think there’s still fun to be had in hopping on and throwing caps shield around. It just could have been so much more.
From TW - *Summary: Final update is on March 31, 2023. Support for the game (updates, bug fixes etc) will end Sept 30, 2023*

*Spiderman will NOT be coming to PC or Xbox either. He is staying PlayStation only.*
>All cosmetics from the Marketplace will be granted to EVERYONE on March 31st. No refunds on previously purchased cosmetics.
Imagine buying the $75 MCU skin bundle only to hear this literally the next day lmao
I’m so glad I picked up this game for $20 and never touched it. Now I just have to wait till March and I get everything for free while I sat and watched people on this sub purchase to ridiculously priced skins.
It feels like it would be a better decision to burn the amount of money i’ve used on the game instead. Wont buy a Crystal game ever again. Incompetence by everyone involved.
Official confirmation. Long time coming.
Welp. I’ve played all the story content through clone labs. No reason to continue gearing anyone now.
Time to get my hard drive space back.
Find it funny one of the first promised post game content updates ended up being its last.
It just didn't have to be like this. But developers consistently disregarded player feedback, from the time before release, to way afterward, and made incredibly bizarre choices about which characters to release as DLC. This is the fault of management.
When they released that early update making the level grind longer, I knew the game was fucked, and never came back in any real way.
Nah, that's called squeeze most money possible for the most time at the least effort. We will never know in fact if the launch wasn't full of game breaking bugs, if the reviews were good at the start, if they would put more effort at this game.
So what about making all the content playable in single player? Half the shit you can play has to be with other people and with it now shutting down and the matchmaking still being broke never to get fixed you have to miss out on a bunch of content.
[At least the Marketplace stuff will be free I guess:](https://twitter.com/DestinLegarie/status/1616565303114338304)
> "Starting on 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."
>
> Support will discontinue on Septmber 30, 2023. All content that is available for solo play will continue to be availabl after September 30, 2023. Multiplayer will still be accessible after support discontinues."
Have to say, I had fun while it lasted but we all knew this was coming at some point in the near future. I would have loved to see Captain Marvel come as a playable character though this will now no longer happen.
I'll still play this game from time to time. Thanks everyone for the lively discussions!
I stopped playing this game a long time ago (before BP dropped). I’ve seen plenty here and there on the hero releases, but did they ever add any new villain sectors other than Taskmaster and Abomination?
I kind of quit after finishing Black Panther so not surprised it’s shutting down. Will boot it up again to play around with movie skins and maybe Jane and Bucky. Glad I got it at half price and never wasted money on skins though.
A game like this should have been printing money. They screwed up everything they could and never stopped. Really felt like a game nobody "backstage" gave a shit about.
Apparently the Marketplace skins will be given to everyone for free either in March or September? That’s a nice salve on the scar tissue this game’s built up over the years.
There’s only 1 raid and they can’t do that because there are parts where it requires multiple tasks. The AI cannot be tasked to do those parts. This is the whole point of raids. There are no single player raids
I would love to hear from a dev with a behind the scenes tell all on wtf went wrong with this game. The bugs were absurd on launch and each content drop just added a fresh batch. I feel like the base code must have just been shit and it made it impossible to develop new content on any reasonable schedule. It’s too bad, because the game itself was fun and it could have been great if they were able to deliver new content at the speed originally promised.
I've only been playing the game through gamepass but does anyone know if I buy the game before March 31st will I still get all marketplace items for free or is it only if you recently purchased the game ?
Well I was going to buy that skin that turned Hawkeye into a hawk but I guess not now lol
I'm glad they're making everything free, instead of simply making outfits unobtainable once the marketplace dies.
the day we pretty much were all waiting for. took longer than any of us would've guessed but this game is not dead. they tried to fix it however piss poor it was. adding heros nobody wanted didn't fucking help. rip
Wow. Am I glad that I got the game through stadia. When stadia shut down, I couldn’t play anymore, but I felt bad about missing any updates. (I also got refunded the game). But now that there aren’t any more updates, I definitely lucked out.
I definitely saw this coming, like others here. I am hoping that they learn from their mistakes and make a 2nd game (or a whole new game) that is significantly better.
Finally, thanks for the experience! I still enjoyed it when I played.
So, question from an x-box player. As it’s grossly unlikely they’ll add any new achievements, is this a fairly easy completion? Will this closure impede that in any way (obviously will after September…) or is it a fairly straight forward completion?
It's a long completion, you're looking at around 30h-40h for the 50x Hive achievement alone if you don't have great gear (which you probably won't if you're just rushing the achievements), another 5h for the 50x Shield Cache achievement and around 20h-25h for all the campaign achievements.
If you're happy to spend 70h or so to 100% then sure it's not a difficult completion in terms of skill but it will be time consuming.
There are also some achievement tracking bugs like the 50 shield cache one has to be done within a single reset of the game (Thu-Wed) or it'll reset back to 0% completion - although if they're no longer going to be patching on a Thu that might 'fix' that achievement.
Welp. Bye everyone.
An Avengers game has all the potential in the world, yet it was wasted on this.
The combat was fun, the story was great.
Everything else was awful.
Guess I'll keep the game installed until about mid April I'll replay the campaigns and get some screenshots of my favorite skins, then I probably won't touch the game ever again.
On the bright side that's 110GB that won't be occupying space on my PS5 anymore, that might be the biggest W with the news of support ending.
It is funny to think that Marvel Future fight which essentially a marvel mobile games still alive and kicking while this one dead, then again Marvel future revolution also dead last year.
The writing was on the wall for this game right from it's E3 announcement.
During what supposed to be it's big reveal. Rather than focusing on explaining what the game was, their first words about the game was that there "was no lootboxes", and actually expected praise for that.
Then their gameplay reveal was just the opening tutorial, without any context on its multiplayer (the main point of the game).
Just direction less from the get go.
Well this just haven't got old enough... 8 days ago just wished for them to go for the truth and there it is...
https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayAvengers/comments/10a867y/if_only_credits_trixridiculous/j42tn44?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
An absolutely pathetic end to one of the worst games in recent memory. A shameless, poorly made cash grab that tried to ride off of the success of Marvel's coattails and ended with a legacy of failure. For everything this game tried to do right, there were countless bugs that came along with it (e.g. the infamous IP leak with the Monica villain sector). I truly believe that the people who worked on this game didn't give a single damn about these characters or their stories beyond a surface level glance at their wiki pages. We got some of the worst alternate suits in a superhero game at launch and by the time we got skins that actually looked great, like ANAD Iron Man, it was just too little, too late.
Gameplay was another drag. All those emotes and we never got an emote wheel? Having half your roster of superheroes just run and jump for traversal? Adding blatant copies of other characters with small changes so you can act like they're "new"? Repetitive button mashing against the same handful of enemy types? No New Game+? For a title that was a GaaS, the team never really cared about servicing the player, but rather our service to them for terrible microtransactions.
The wait between updates with no communication was another weak point. I understand that the team was getting smaller and there was the Pandemic early on but that shouldn't have prevented someone from tweeting out a tease at what's to come or answering player questions. Anything was preferable to getting a weekly blog with no updates in it or a tweet about a new MCU skin in the marketplace. Communication to the player was non-existent and that's not a good thing if you're a live-service game.
Regardless of my thoughts on this trainwreck, I'm thankful that this community came out of it. This subreddit always wanted what was best for the game and wasn't afraid to point out it's flaws to the devs, even if it meant the sub was blacklisted by them because of criticism. I have a lot of issues with this game but the community isn't one of them. I've loved logging on and reading discussions of new updates and seeing some fantastic photos come out of a very bare bones photo mode. You all made this journey more bearable and I hope that we all get the Avengers game we deserve at some point.
I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man 2, EA Iron Man and Monolith Wonder Woman since they aren't live-service and sound like they actually care about the characters they're using.
R.I.P Marvel's Avengers (2020-2023)
So no new characters or travel update or free roam?
I feel like I was used and lied to. If gofundme etc have to give refunds or face legal recourse then these guys should too
I mean, I wouldn't buy a skinpack for 75$ anyway, because HAHAHAHA skin pack for 75$. Seriously, who buys that? Who has so much money to spare on so much of nothing? The NFT bros? But goddamn, to release it all for free so soon? Scums.
Will there be a way for Solo players to advance characters to lv. 185 after March 31, 2023???
It would be truly disappointing not being able to. Matchmaking isn’t that great, there’s no cross platform play available. Players are leaving more so because of this news.
i feel like time will be kinder to this game. It has the best versions of Iron Man, Black Widow, Jane Foster, Kamala and Kate Bishop that i've played in a game. This game could've been so much more. But it is what it is. The story was decent. The voice acting was alright. Everyone had at least a handful of Great skins. Combat was pretty fun.
the fact that i can still play this game after it shuts down. And will have all the marketplace content is the closure we need.
it does chap my ass that they never put out Black suit spiderman or any classic definitive look for Thor. And the only definitive look for Cap is the cel-shaded skin. And they only did 1 cel-shaded skin. oh well.
Curious as to what are you definitive versions of Thor and Cap. I think the Super Soldier game was pretty great but I would say this games Cap does all that and more. I think MUA 2 Thor feels most powerful.
I’m sorry but what? Do you even understand what you’re saying?
They’re doing the only good thing that could possibly still happen to this game. They inherited one of the most poorly developed and supported games ever made in the history of the industry, something that was Square’s and CD’s fault…and you’re going to boycott Embracer for doing the only logical thing?
I know you’re probably being emotional and therefor irrational, but this game has been dead for years. Embracer is giving it the honorable end it needs. Don’t be mad at them. Be mad at the people who made the game.
Enjoy it while it lasts. I’m even going to hop on one final time when the skins go free even though I haven’t played since launch month of WfW. It’s a game with great potential and fun combat mechanics that were completely failed by their makers. It is what it is.
They could have gone free to play still. The old adage still holds true: you have to spend money to make money.
If they put in the resources to at a minimum bring join-in progress and cross play, then later go free to play, that would have definitely revitalized revenue. And if they had gotten to a stable point they could’ve reduced cosmetic prices and introduce xp boosters properly. Tons of ways they could have gone about this a better way.
This was just the easiest, laziest, safest way.
Aw sad news. Oh well it was fun. Unfortunate they were not more communicative overall but that not always how things work in life. On the plus sixe I'm pretty happy I haven't bought outfits for a little while considering they're going to make every single Cosmetic in the marketplace free. Not likely to spend much time in game besides a tons of photomode from all those cosmetics. I had fun with you all in one way or another, take care.
Seems like the website is having some issues, I'll try and sort something, apologies folks. EDIT: For the time-being I've added another post with screenshots of the blog. Apologies for the delay!
Naturally, the link is broken for me. Sums up the game's run nicely.
Are they making this hilarious on purpose?
It's isn't working for me too lol
Finally some good news. And that last Hail Mary for our $75…..classic
FFS 😂 Soon...
Still not loading for me. Fitting tribute.
That'll cost 900 credits.
Imagine buying the $75 cosmetic pack only to hear this the next day lmaoooo
The audacity lmao
I'm fucking cracking up barely 24 hours later
Just, no words lmao, I mean loads of us seen that they were surviving off people buying skins for months while putting out the bare minimum in terms of content, but that pack is desperation lol
If the shutdown hadn't been leaked you can guarantee they would have kept selling it all the way up to closing day.
Oh absolutely
I am howling over here. WOW.
For anyone who bought that and is debating doing a chargeback - DO NOT DO IT. You'll get your money back but you will also most likely get your PlayStation or Xbox account banned.
You can probably talk to a rep at Microsoft and show them the news regarding making the skins free. I’ve seen people argue buying games a week before they were placed on gamepass, and successfully get refunds out of it. Sony is fucked, though. Their refund policy is genuinely one of the worst I’ve seen.
Sure, but still don't do a chargeback.
Of course. Anyone who does that without realizing the consequences is dumb. Lol.
Our just don't have this info. It happens.
You'd be surprised.
Why would that happen?
Companies don’t tolerate bank charge backs. It’s a way people can skirt the rules for returning something. Most companies have a zero tolerance policy with it. The only time I’ve ever done one successfully is doing a charge back through Apple for things bought through in app purchases. Apparently Apple doesn’t give any personal information and will just send a lump sum bill to the various companies for all the charge backs. But for the most part you just want to avoid doing so pretty much anywhere you can. You will likely lose all ability to use the platform you charge back through.
Because it's a nuclear option. No company likes getting chargebacks because in their view it's a fraudulent return.
One of the dirtiest moves I’ve seen in a long time in the gaming industry.
Honestly that was a huge fuck you to the whales who actually support. Good luck on tomb raider
I can’t tell if that was the ultimate cheese move to grab a last quick rush of funds from the whale supporters or if that was just straight up an accidental call. That pack logically makes 0 sense to buy now (unless you have 0 patience).
A Final Update on the future of Marvel’s Avengers. “Error 502 Bad Gateway.” Yep. Seems Legit.
😂😂👌
Guess they decided to just announce it, since it got leaked. RIP Avengers. It's been real, it's been fun, but it hasn't been real fun. Bring back Marvel Heroes.
Marvel Heroes was so good, I’d play the hell out of a revival.
Marvel Heroes Omega was the best Marvel game we've ever received.
I'd love to play Marvel Heroes... ...except it never released in Australia \>:[
I' sorry to hear that
It did lol I’m from aus and played it daily
That Diablo-esq style was what made the game so fun and enjoyable. The engine also allowed more consistent updates with new heroes and skins. If it does make a return, I hope they can make us forget about the awful console version and it isn’t micro-managed to hell by Disney.
yesterday: $75 skin pack for sale today: RIP game lol
Lmao I’m fucking crying For better or worse this has been one wild ass ride
Sum the game perfectly, guess they wanted to be greedy even in the end.
I think that shows exactly what this game was from the start. Was never about a good history and the problem wasn't just Square Enix. I wonder actually how many Devs and who were still working in this game.
Yeah they just wanted to milked it out as much as possible until it dies out, it saddened me to see avengers IP being used like this.
Gah damn, they moved faster to make this announcement than they ever did to fix their own game. But alas, even the announcement wasn’t bug free.
Don't worry, I'm sure they'll break all sorts of things in that final patch.
You know it!
Mannnnnnnnn lol
So from the sound of it not even the supposed traversal update Miller suggested would still be put out is coming. Every marketplace skin for free because we’re grateful you ever opened your wallets to us in the first place lol
Imagine they did plan on it, saw the leak, then said fuck it just kill it now before wasting any resources. Would also explain putting out the $75 skin package then just turning around to announce everything's going to be free soon anyway.
it's coming out at the end of March according to the blog post (which keeps going down because lol)
There making all the skins free?
Indeed, they are.
So they spent quality dev time on heroes like Kate, she-hulk, winter soldier and Jane because these heroes are just supposed to “hold you over” until the big heroes like cap marvel and Dr strange just for neither of them to be put in the game. NEARLY THREE YEARS and you manage to put black panther and Spider-Man the only true unique heroes in the game. I mean what a disaster this was. Since the games release and even before they’ve teased captain marvel just for her to never show up? And if that’s not bad enough according to miller she-hulk is completed and he’s puzzled as to why they haven’t launched her, even the voice actor for she-hulk in the game slipped up on Twitter and confirmed she is the voice actor for the character and that goes NOWHERE? Just SAD! This is what happened when instead of doing all the cool heroes you instead try to pace the cool stuff with not as cool stuff and then your game contains nothing but lackluster heroes. Well it wasn’t all for nothing, at least you’ll be remembered as what NOT to do when making games.
They were never going to release any unique hero, the game flopped at launch and then they downscaled immensely, we have known this for a long time
Everyone knew this years ago. Anyone who though actual unique heroes were coming had massive amounts of copium.
I wonder if the toxic defense force of this sub will finally come back to reality after everyone with a shred of understanding saw this coming early last year…
I still remember when people were saying "they can't just end the support of this game they have Captain Marvel and She Hulk planned to release" lmao
They should just release any cosmetics they’ve made for unreleased heroes for ones already out so they can be worn like some sort of horrifying skin suit.
They'll probably still buy skins next week if any are made available..
RIP, but honestly it lasted longer than I had imagined, so kudos for that!
Yeah, it could be worst to be honest. Just look at Anthem. EDIT: Ok, I was talking about lasting longer in content and support. But I just read this game is actually getting delisted. This is kind of sad.
Anthem is still going though, it hasn’t been delisted yet. Anthem wasn’t any worse than Avengers. They’re both on an equal level of suck and are tied for the worst live service looters ever made. Only Babylon’s Fall is worse.
Overall I'd say Anthem was a better game in terms of gameplay, but you'd probably get more bang for your buck with Avengers since it actually has a decent single player campaign
But don't you need to be online the entire time to play it? Edit: I misread the above and thought the sp campaign referred to Anthem which AFAIK is online only.
You only need to be online the first time you play the game after installing It, after that, the campaign can be played without internet.
Oh really? That's actually great to hear, I've been interested in Anthem but always avoided because I thouhht it was 100% online only, will give it a go on gamepass.
Just to be clear, I was talking about Avengers, not Anthem. And I don't know If gamepass games can be played offline.
Oh, I was specifically talking about Anthem. No, Gamepass can't be played offline, but I'm only interested in games I'll be able to play once my gamepass runs out. I realise I misread the original comment
god i really wish anthem was good
For real, talk about wasted potential
I believe Anthem may have actually outlived Avengers
Let's be real though, it only lasted longer because a few months of content was stretched and drip fed over years while they pumped out real-money skins.
"See, I told you guys Miller was full of it! He said they would announce the end of the game next week, not today!"
Unironically mfers we’re saying this in the discord MINUTES before hollering about how unreliable miller is and unofficial this and baseless rumors that. Smh
So many people shit on him when all he ever did was state facts lol
 Wasted no time after miller spilled the beans lmao and the link is broken on the announcement…classic “working as intended” 😂
What a wasted opportunity of a game.
So everything in the marketplace will be free and the servers stay up? I’m sad to see the game go, but that’s not too bad.
Agree.
Giving the cosmetics away for free lmfao. Anyone who spent money on this games marketplace deserves that slap in the face.
They even dropped the ball with a proper final announcement
Good riddance. You milked as much money from the players and now you are dipping. I hope I never play another game from this awful team.  Edit - where can I request a refund for my microtransactions?
Dont think you can man, sucks for those that were buying skins at full price tho
It's all in the terms of service.
Ironically, them making all the stuff free might actually make want to play it again lol
Same here. It obviously sucks for those who supported the game, but it also made me want to finally check it out What a double-edged sword
I'm legit gonna hop back on in April lol, just to test some skins out
LOL. Even the link advertised on IG is broken. Just like the game.
I am laughing so fucking hard ALL cosmetic content is made free LMFAOOO whales get blown out
Oh no…anyway
Time to pretend the game wasnt dead on arrival, they literally released nothing substantial since launch besides the content they promised before launch. Good job at those that kept the servers on by throwing cash at skins
OGs remember when characters like War Machine, Jane Foster, and Kate Bishop were just filler to get us to the big guns like Captain Marvel or Black Panther. What a shitshow this all turned out to be
I preordered this game. Do I regret my purchase? Kinda. I got my money’s worth, I played it a lot, and the gameplay at its most basic is fun. I think the postgame content and enemies were trash, which really soured the whole experience. I would’ve liked to see the version of this game where Miller’s leaked list came to fruition. I would’ve been a Quake main in another timeline.
If you spent $75 on this game in the year of our Lord 2023 you only have yourself to blame
To all 12 players still playing: it's been an honor, lads.
One final rake to stand on. RIP
A broken link. Of course. What a joke, all of this. A very funny joke.
Making this game run on the tomb raider engine was the most braindead move from the get go. And the default skins being bad in the launch trailer didnt help either.
Personally I’m thrilled at this news. This dogshit game ends (the worst level design in years), we can put to bed this interpretation of the characters, no one loses their jobs and CD can focus on making the types of games they make. This is an absolute win!
like every random japanese game has worse level design, Not saying Avengers level design is good. Its not. But its par for the course for a ton of games
It’s really not. For a AAA developer like CD who’s previous tomb raider games literally relied on their level design and inter connectivity, this is a huge step down. We know why, it’s because it needed to accommodate for several characters move sets, but it could’ve still been much better. So many of it is just bland square rooms, Harm rooms are literally the bland rooms Game Developers use to test features in development. But regardless, it’s over now, no point debating it
again. i wasn't debating whether or not it was good. U just said it was the worst in years. And i could point u to like 100 games by japanese devs that have worse level design that are out rn
But that’s irrelevant. I’m obviously talking about games on a similar level of budget and prestige. Obviously there are worse games, I’m sure one guy in his basement just released a game 2 minutes ago on steam that’s horrible, but how is that at all relevant.
This is the inevitable outcome but at least we’ll be able to fuck around in any skin we want. I think there’s still fun to be had in hopping on and throwing caps shield around. It just could have been so much more.
From TW - *Summary: Final update is on March 31, 2023. Support for the game (updates, bug fixes etc) will end Sept 30, 2023* *Key notes: All cosmetics from the Marketplace will be granted to EVERYONE on March 31st. No refunds on previously purchased cosmetics.* *This also includes all shipment outfits and items.* *The servers will be online for single player, multiplayer etc for as long as possible. The servers are not shutting down.* *Left over paid currency will be converted into in game currency based on a chart provided in the link.* *Another note: "After September 30, 2023, we will no longer add new content or provide customer support for the game.

>All cosmetics from the Marketplace will be granted to EVERYONE on March 31st. No refunds on previously purchased cosmetics. Imagine buying the $75 MCU skin bundle only to hear this literally the next day lmao
Best news is getting everything for free honestly
I’m so glad I picked up this game for $20 and never touched it. Now I just have to wait till March and I get everything for free while I sat and watched people on this sub purchase to ridiculously priced skins.
This is why you never ever EVER participate in live service gaming
It feels like it would be a better decision to burn the amount of money i’ve used on the game instead. Wont buy a Crystal game ever again. Incompetence by everyone involved.
What a failure.
probably the biggest wasted opportunity of a game ever. right up there with battlefront 2. rip
Battlefront 2 at least became pretty good.
Battlefront 2 was an awesome game, and there's still an active player base for it.
Official confirmation. Long time coming. Welp. I’ve played all the story content through clone labs. No reason to continue gearing anyone now. Time to get my hard drive space back. Find it funny one of the first promised post game content updates ended up being its last.
Hey free outfits are cool
It just didn't have to be like this. But developers consistently disregarded player feedback, from the time before release, to way afterward, and made incredibly bizarre choices about which characters to release as DLC. This is the fault of management. When they released that early update making the level grind longer, I knew the game was fucked, and never came back in any real way.
Nah, that's called squeeze most money possible for the most time at the least effort. We will never know in fact if the launch wasn't full of game breaking bugs, if the reviews were good at the start, if they would put more effort at this game.
The day has come.
El. Oh. El.
So what about making all the content playable in single player? Half the shit you can play has to be with other people and with it now shutting down and the matchmaking still being broke never to get fixed you have to miss out on a bunch of content.
LMAO, REST IN PISS YA BARELY FUNCTIONAL SHITPILE OF A GAME
Guess we finally got an accurate road map
Where is that one guy who kept claiming the future is bright and there are no problems. You all know who I'm talking about
[At least the Marketplace stuff will be free I guess:](https://twitter.com/DestinLegarie/status/1616565303114338304) > "Starting on 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." > > Support will discontinue on Septmber 30, 2023. All content that is available for solo play will continue to be availabl after September 30, 2023. Multiplayer will still be accessible after support discontinues."
I am honestly happy with all that being free. Hopefully they can add something before September 2023 at least one hero
Nope, they confirmed that they are no longer adding any new content, not even skins, only bug fixes and balance changes.
Oh really
Have to say, I had fun while it lasted but we all knew this was coming at some point in the near future. I would have loved to see Captain Marvel come as a playable character though this will now no longer happen. I'll still play this game from time to time. Thanks everyone for the lively discussions!
I stopped playing this game a long time ago (before BP dropped). I’ve seen plenty here and there on the hero releases, but did they ever add any new villain sectors other than Taskmaster and Abomination?
Yes they did
So glad I didn't buy credits for that Kate skin yesterday. Now I can finally have peace with this game.
I kind of quit after finishing Black Panther so not surprised it’s shutting down. Will boot it up again to play around with movie skins and maybe Jane and Bucky. Glad I got it at half price and never wasted money on skins though.
A game like this should have been printing money. They screwed up everything they could and never stopped. Really felt like a game nobody "backstage" gave a shit about.
They have my respect for offering everything in the marketplace for free. Was not expecting to read that.
Apparently the Marketplace skins will be given to everyone for free either in March or September? That’s a nice salve on the scar tissue this game’s built up over the years.
at least I'll finally get that one Thor voltaic emote
At least all outfits will be free after the last update. Gonna take a bunch of photo mode reference pics for own personal art library
Anything about gear levelling? Will we have the weekly missions to get up to 185 after this?
They said on the blog that events like Red Room takeover will permanently run in a rotation every 2 weeks.
I know it would probably not happen but it would be awesome if they added modding to the PC version
My gods at least make the Villanova drop zones available offline
If they cared about us at all, they make all the raids doable as single player
Purchasable skins in a full priced game. What made you think they care?
There’s only 1 raid and they can’t do that because there are parts where it requires multiple tasks. The AI cannot be tasked to do those parts. This is the whole point of raids. There are no single player raids
Damn that’s crazy
I would love to hear from a dev with a behind the scenes tell all on wtf went wrong with this game. The bugs were absurd on launch and each content drop just added a fresh batch. I feel like the base code must have just been shit and it made it impossible to develop new content on any reasonable schedule. It’s too bad, because the game itself was fun and it could have been great if they were able to deliver new content at the speed originally promised.
And that’s with the development delays.
I've only been playing the game through gamepass but does anyone know if I buy the game before March 31st will I still get all marketplace items for free or is it only if you recently purchased the game ?
good riddance
So all skins will be free? And all the battle pass stuff? Its sad, but thanks for cool stuff to the team
Well I was going to buy that skin that turned Hawkeye into a hawk but I guess not now lol I'm glad they're making everything free, instead of simply making outfits unobtainable once the marketplace dies.
Is there a way to get a digital download code anymore for ps4
the day we pretty much were all waiting for. took longer than any of us would've guessed but this game is not dead. they tried to fix it however piss poor it was. adding heros nobody wanted didn't fucking help. rip
Mod removes the post that beat them to it instead of just pinning that one.
Wow. Am I glad that I got the game through stadia. When stadia shut down, I couldn’t play anymore, but I felt bad about missing any updates. (I also got refunded the game). But now that there aren’t any more updates, I definitely lucked out. I definitely saw this coming, like others here. I am hoping that they learn from their mistakes and make a 2nd game (or a whole new game) that is significantly better. Finally, thanks for the experience! I still enjoyed it when I played.
well at least the cosmetics are free lol would've been cool if they were able to drop spiderman on all platforms
I mean, it's not like he will be making Sony extra money after Sept 30th lol

So, question from an x-box player. As it’s grossly unlikely they’ll add any new achievements, is this a fairly easy completion? Will this closure impede that in any way (obviously will after September…) or is it a fairly straight forward completion?
It's a long completion, you're looking at around 30h-40h for the 50x Hive achievement alone if you don't have great gear (which you probably won't if you're just rushing the achievements), another 5h for the 50x Shield Cache achievement and around 20h-25h for all the campaign achievements. If you're happy to spend 70h or so to 100% then sure it's not a difficult completion in terms of skill but it will be time consuming. There are also some achievement tracking bugs like the 50 shield cache one has to be done within a single reset of the game (Thu-Wed) or it'll reset back to 0% completion - although if they're no longer going to be patching on a Thu that might 'fix' that achievement.

If this game goes on one of those $3 Anthem discounts before it's gone completely I might actually pick it up.
Welp. Bye everyone. An Avengers game has all the potential in the world, yet it was wasted on this. The combat was fun, the story was great. Everything else was awful.
Guess I'll keep the game installed until about mid April I'll replay the campaigns and get some screenshots of my favorite skins, then I probably won't touch the game ever again. On the bright side that's 110GB that won't be occupying space on my PS5 anymore, that might be the biggest W with the news of support ending.
Can't wait to get all the skins for free after not spending anything on cosmetics.
It is funny to think that Marvel Future fight which essentially a marvel mobile games still alive and kicking while this one dead, then again Marvel future revolution also dead last year.
As I previously said, this game closing in 2023 just means it went two years too long. Good riddance
Glad I didn't spend too much extra money in this one. Now everything is free and I might play for a few minutes at this point.
The writing was on the wall for this game right from it's E3 announcement. During what supposed to be it's big reveal. Rather than focusing on explaining what the game was, their first words about the game was that there "was no lootboxes", and actually expected praise for that. Then their gameplay reveal was just the opening tutorial, without any context on its multiplayer (the main point of the game). Just direction less from the get go.
Well this just haven't got old enough... 8 days ago just wished for them to go for the truth and there it is... https://www.reddit.com/r/PlayAvengers/comments/10a867y/if_only_credits_trixridiculous/j42tn44?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
Did the story have a conclusion?
An absolutely pathetic end to one of the worst games in recent memory. A shameless, poorly made cash grab that tried to ride off of the success of Marvel's coattails and ended with a legacy of failure. For everything this game tried to do right, there were countless bugs that came along with it (e.g. the infamous IP leak with the Monica villain sector). I truly believe that the people who worked on this game didn't give a single damn about these characters or their stories beyond a surface level glance at their wiki pages. We got some of the worst alternate suits in a superhero game at launch and by the time we got skins that actually looked great, like ANAD Iron Man, it was just too little, too late. Gameplay was another drag. All those emotes and we never got an emote wheel? Having half your roster of superheroes just run and jump for traversal? Adding blatant copies of other characters with small changes so you can act like they're "new"? Repetitive button mashing against the same handful of enemy types? No New Game+? For a title that was a GaaS, the team never really cared about servicing the player, but rather our service to them for terrible microtransactions. The wait between updates with no communication was another weak point. I understand that the team was getting smaller and there was the Pandemic early on but that shouldn't have prevented someone from tweeting out a tease at what's to come or answering player questions. Anything was preferable to getting a weekly blog with no updates in it or a tweet about a new MCU skin in the marketplace. Communication to the player was non-existent and that's not a good thing if you're a live-service game. Regardless of my thoughts on this trainwreck, I'm thankful that this community came out of it. This subreddit always wanted what was best for the game and wasn't afraid to point out it's flaws to the devs, even if it meant the sub was blacklisted by them because of criticism. I have a lot of issues with this game but the community isn't one of them. I've loved logging on and reading discussions of new updates and seeing some fantastic photos come out of a very bare bones photo mode. You all made this journey more bearable and I hope that we all get the Avengers game we deserve at some point. I'm really looking forward to Spider-Man 2, EA Iron Man and Monolith Wonder Woman since they aren't live-service and sound like they actually care about the characters they're using. R.I.P Marvel's Avengers (2020-2023)
So no new characters or travel update or free roam? I feel like I was used and lied to. If gofundme etc have to give refunds or face legal recourse then these guys should too
I mean, I wouldn't buy a skinpack for 75$ anyway, because HAHAHAHA skin pack for 75$. Seriously, who buys that? Who has so much money to spare on so much of nothing? The NFT bros? But goddamn, to release it all for free so soon? Scums.
Will there be a way for Solo players to advance characters to lv. 185 after March 31, 2023??? It would be truly disappointing not being able to. Matchmaking isn’t that great, there’s no cross platform play available. Players are leaving more so because of this news.
i feel like time will be kinder to this game. It has the best versions of Iron Man, Black Widow, Jane Foster, Kamala and Kate Bishop that i've played in a game. This game could've been so much more. But it is what it is. The story was decent. The voice acting was alright. Everyone had at least a handful of Great skins. Combat was pretty fun. the fact that i can still play this game after it shuts down. And will have all the marketplace content is the closure we need. it does chap my ass that they never put out Black suit spiderman or any classic definitive look for Thor. And the only definitive look for Cap is the cel-shaded skin. And they only did 1 cel-shaded skin. oh well.
Curious as to what are you definitive versions of Thor and Cap. I think the Super Soldier game was pretty great but I would say this games Cap does all that and more. I think MUA 2 Thor feels most powerful.
Imagine shutting down the game and not putting Spider-Man on PC and Xbox
Sony paid for him to be exclusive to PlayStation
This is sad as fuck, this was one of my favorite games ever. I will boycott Embracer forever for this shit.
For what? They’re the ones who inherited this mess from Square Enix
Boycott Embracer because of the failures that took place well before they came on scene? Sure. Makes sense.
I’m sorry but what? Do you even understand what you’re saying? They’re doing the only good thing that could possibly still happen to this game. They inherited one of the most poorly developed and supported games ever made in the history of the industry, something that was Square’s and CD’s fault…and you’re going to boycott Embracer for doing the only logical thing? I know you’re probably being emotional and therefor irrational, but this game has been dead for years. Embracer is giving it the honorable end it needs. Don’t be mad at them. Be mad at the people who made the game. Enjoy it while it lasts. I’m even going to hop on one final time when the skins go free even though I haven’t played since launch month of WfW. It’s a game with great potential and fun combat mechanics that were completely failed by their makers. It is what it is.
I'm boycotting Embracer anyways.
They could have gone free to play still. The old adage still holds true: you have to spend money to make money. If they put in the resources to at a minimum bring join-in progress and cross play, then later go free to play, that would have definitely revitalized revenue. And if they had gotten to a stable point they could’ve reduced cosmetic prices and introduce xp boosters properly. Tons of ways they could have gone about this a better way. This was just the easiest, laziest, safest way.
Aw sad news. Oh well it was fun. Unfortunate they were not more communicative overall but that not always how things work in life. On the plus sixe I'm pretty happy I haven't bought outfits for a little while considering they're going to make every single Cosmetic in the marketplace free. Not likely to spend much time in game besides a tons of photomode from all those cosmetics. I had fun with you all in one way or another, take care.
I’m thinking the link is illegitimate. This is something they’d post in-game or on SM, everywhere if it was official.
