Looking at the NPD numbers for the last year, you may be surprised to see where Marvel’s Avengers lands. Here’s the top 10 list for the last 12 months in the US, according to NPD:
1. COD: Black Ops Cold War
2. Assassin’s Creed Valhalla
3. Madden NFL 21
4. Spider-Man: Miles Morales
5. Super Mario 3D All-Stars
6. NBA 2K21
7. Marvel’s Avengers
8. Animal Crossing: New Horizons
9. Mario Kart 8
10. FIFA 21
So, Marvel’s Avengers is not only the 7th best-selling game of the last 12 months, but it is the only original game on that list. I mean, look at what it’s competing against. Three sports titles that make this list every year. Two massively popular Switch games. A massively popular PS5 launch game. A Call of Duty and Assassin’s Creed installment, decade plus-long best-selling franchises, each.
On a separate NPD chart for Xbox in August, Marvel’s Avengers launched up from 16th place to 8th place this past month, the result of both a free weekend which got people playing, and then the War for Wakanda expansion, which drew more players in. The expansion was free, but it appears to have driven game sales to some extent.
This appears to be why Avengers is continuing to make content going forward. Again, we aren’t getting any actual figures from Crystal Dynamics, but what they’ve said is that they were very happy with the reaction to War for Wakanda, and cosmetic offerings like MCU skins seem to be doing well for them, one of the only monetization methods of the game. Landing on a top ten list of sales for the year as an original offering is no small feat, given the other games on that list, and I do think Square Enix may have undersold just how well did Avengers did. I mean it wasn’t some crazy breakout smash hit, clearly, and yet it does seem to have done/be doing well enough to live on into 2022.
Threw the game in the bushes once again after about 5 attempts to get to the top of that rig with 200 enemies on your neck and the screen going hazy every 20 seconds. Seeing the ending ain't nearly that important to me to deal with that foolishnessLast level of the black panther mission damn near impossible
