Incase you aren't entirely sure what Marvel's Avengers is exactly, the various newly announced PlayStation 4 versions will fill you in very quickly. This is a Game as a Service through and through with the likes of skin packs, exclusive emotes, and premium currency on offer if you decide to pre-order the game or shell out some extra cash for a Collector's Edition.
Starting things off is the PS4 Exclusive Digital Edition. This sounds like the most basic version of the game, coming with 1000 credits and a Ms. Marvel nameplate. Alongside that is beta access, another nameplate, and what the PlayStation Blog describes as a "sassy" Ms. Marvel Talk to the Hand emote. We know you're all pretty excited about that one, but don't worry, these bonus items come with every version of the game Square Enix is shipping.
If you fancy splashing some extra cash, the Deluxe Edition contains the Obsidian Outfit pack, a further six nameplates, and 72-hour early access to the title. If you pick up the physical version, it'll also come packaged with a one-month subscription to Marvel Unlimited. However, it's the Earth's Mightiest Edition that true superheroes will want to get their hands on.
You'll get Iron Man's prototype armour blueprints, a steelbook, Black Widow's belt buckle, a Mjolnir keychain, a six-inch Hulk bobblehead, the honorary Avenger pin, and a group photo taken at Avengers Day. It's the Captain America statue you'll want the most out of this lot, however.
Blimey, that was a lot, wasn't it? Some of the aforementioned editions can be pre-ordered on the PlayStation Store right now, with just the base version coming in at £59.99/$59.99. That's an incredibly steep price for UK residents, but do any of these versions take your fancy? Save up in the comments below.

So I guess Emotes will be paid DLC? Sigh
The fact the game has emotes at all just kills my enthusiasm.
Pre-ordered on Amazon. It's actually only $50 on Amazon US right now. Look forward to trying out the beta!
Hurrayy... Just what I wanted a old 90's meme that was popular with annoying suburban white girls for Ms. Marvel...
Ugh....
Yet again another game priced so ridiculously. Do they not understand how exchange rates work? £60 for a game, a GaaS at that, is utterly moronic pricing. There has to be someone in that company who knows how money works, you’d like to think.
According to the PS Store it says Online Play Required. That's a definite pass for me . I don't buy online only games .
I can hear Jim Sterling saying 'Triple A' and 'live services' whilst reading this lol
Maybe make sure the game is good before doling out the deluxe editions. Think i can live without 72 hour early access.
@nessisonett thats Call of Duty/Rockstar pricing. If square enix have any sense theyl reduce it before launch
so i have the game pre-ordered on XBOX ONE, are these all PS4 exclusives or are they on all systems?
The Cap statue looks neat but I doubt I'll pick up this game until it goes on a deep discount. This game is giving me a heavy Anthem+Avengers vibe and I'm not sure I'm ready to be hurt again.
@FullbringIchigo - you can get it on xbox as well. the mightiest edition will set you back a wallet-lightening £209.99
What?!?
£60 then all the fortnite junk on top...
Is there even a game here??
I lost the small amount of hope I had for this game when they announced that most of the game you'll be playing as Ms Marvel, who I really couldn't care for, and her voice actor sounds god awful.
This will be an average GAAS venture, will be forgotten about after a year.
It’s like Square Enix went to UBsoft’s Ted Talks...
I hate the design work in this game. Looks ugly and dated already, bears no relation to the comics or movies. Would take some very strong reviews to make even give it a try.
I'd love to be excited for this...but I'm really not. Need to see the reviews first and find out if there's any alternative skins I can download to swap out for those awful character designs.
@leucocyte holy hell that's expensive
Even as a grizzled old, life long fan of Marvel, I'm not willing to be ripped off with this pound for dollar charge which adds an extra ten quid to the price. They can stuff that idea where the sun don't shine and give it a twirl.
Think I'll wait for the price to drop or get it second hand later this year.
@Danloaded Mr Steriling will be reporting on the many versions for a start followed by the Triple aaaaaa and live serviiiiiices
Why is Tony stark/ Iron man posing like a women? lol
Seems like it's going to be riddled with micro transactions and always online, hard pass for me till it enters the bargain bin
I love Batman so ill be up for this!
