Marvel Offers New Info on Their Epic New AVENGERS Video Game They Are Developing
Last year, Marvel and Square Enix announced that they were partnering up to develop a new video game based on The Avengers. There haven't been a lot of details released on the game since the initial announcement, but Marvel recently offered some new details that are sure to get fans even more excited about what they are going to bring us. They've also assembled an impressive team to create this thing! First of all, here's some information teasing the scale of the game:
The Avengers project, featuring a completely new and original story, will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come. The project will be jammed pack with characters, environments, and iconic moments that will thrill Marvelites.
That sounds pretty damn radical and with the talented individuals that Marvel and Square Enix brought on board to develop it, you can bet they are going to deliver something spectacular!
Crystal Dynamics has brought on 15 top industry talent to The Avengers project that includes Shaun Escayg, former Naughty Dog creative director who worked on Uncharted: The Lost Legacy and The Last of Us. And then there's Stephen Barry, a 27 year games vet from EA and Visceral Games, and is best known for his work on the Dead Space franchise. Ron Rosenberg, Co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics, had this to say in a statement:
“We hired fifteen world-renowned industry veterans, spanning production leadership, animation, design, art and engineering, who have previously worked on games such as Batman: Arkham Origins, Dead Space, Star Wars: Battlefront and many more. Their AAA experience adds to an already deep roster, making us well-positioned to deliver on the ambitious goals we’ve set for ourselves with The Avengers project. It’s a stellar addition of many people who fit incredibly well into our wheelhouse of building game experiences we all love.”
Scot Amos, Co-Head of Studio at Crystal Dynamics, added:
“We’re committed to delivering an incredible, completely original Avengers experience to our gamers, and that means we are always looking to add amazing developers to our existing best in class studio talent. As development progresses, our studio continues to grow. The tremendous progress we’ve made on The Avengers project further drives us toward our goal of crafting something all Marvel fans will be proud of, and will play for years to come. We can’t wait to show you what we mean in the future.”
It sounds like this upcoming Avengers game is going to be awesome and well worth the wait. I can't wait to see what they've got cooking! In the meantime, here's an announcement trailer that was prevously released.
