Official PR
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.”

Very interesting, a marvel game alone the lines of something like hit man or tomb raider or deus ex is crazy.


No clue how square got this deal of all people....actually nvm it makes sense with KH hearts and all.



I'd love just a great marvel rpg, but it would be SO dope to see a marvel game with the TLC and quality of a tomb raider.

The thing about an Marvel RPG that annoys me is why I gotta level Thor? Why I don't access to all his powers from the beginning?

This has potential to be really dope. I like Square's battle system and they're pretty good with story writing so i'm gonna keep an eye on this. MCU with a KH battle system or FF15 would be dope.

Because games take awhile to make and they wanted to tease us?

i hate when developers do this. it seems to backfire most of the time just like scalebound and no man's sky recently. i read a reddit AMA with Gabe and i love his approach of not announcing any games until they're close to the launch date so he doesn't tease or disappoint fans. seems like more companies would follow suit but guess not.
