Sony and Insomniac may have kicked off Marvel's new game initiative with Marvel's Spider-Man, but the next project, coming from Square Enix, could be even bigger. We've been aware that the publisher is working on an Avengers title for quite some time, but that's all we currently know. Exactly how a game starring so many superheroes is going to work will be fascinating to see.
Anyway, the official website for the project has been refreshed, and it now bears a short press release stating that Crystal Dynamics is collaborating with Eidos Montreal on the game. It doesn't tell us anything we don't already know, but the timing of the update is interesting. Along with a couple of excited tweets from those working on the superpowered title, fans are speculating that it'll finally be unveiled during The Game Awards 2018.
We can definitely see Geoff Keighley's show hosting the official reveal of the Avengers game. It's a grand venue for it, and the industry figure has been teasing the awards ceremony will have a record number of announcements. Of course, time will tell, but we wouldn't be surprised to see the Marvel logo appear onstage. Do you think the Avengers project will finally be shown off at The Game Awards?

Spider-Man has set a very high bar so it'll be interesting to see what comes of this.
Not to mention that God of War has stolen some of Thor's thunder π
Yeah, I'm really interested to see how this game shapes up. It has a lot of potential.

So it's a PS6 launch title then?
That or a mobile game. Gotta jump on the mobile bandwagon while it's still funny. π
My biggest hope is that, like Spiderman did, this game shows Disney just how bad an idea it was to give EA the StarWars licence!
Wow totally forgot about this game. Seems like a perfect Game Awards reveal
I was disappointed we didn't see anything at E3 or Gamescom this year so I hope we get to see something soon. The Game Awards does seem most likely although they could release some information anytime they want now with Social Media being as easy as it is to get the news out.
I have 'high hopes' for this and hope it doesn't disappoint like Spider-Man did. Not that there was anything wrong with Spider-Man, I maybe expected too much and ended up feeling like a PS3 sequel to Spider-Man 2 with PS4 era visuals. I prefer Arkham Knight in a lot of ways but that maybe also down to coming relatively early this gen.
my hype faded a while ago for this game. Hopefully itll be something great. After a year of waiting for footage it better be

Dunno how I feel about square touching this it just makes me wonder how good would it have been if Insomniac had been allowed near it ?
Just hope it's not a Marvel Ultimate Alliance type of game.
Cautiously excited for this one still, but I fear we may have been spoiled by Spider-Man. Fingers crossed.
I'm really hoping this is a faithful adaptation like Insomniac's Spider-Man game...gonna be so pissed if it's another Ultimate Alliance scenario.
