Upcoming Content for Marvel's Avengers Will Bring Players Back, Says Studio Head

Couldn't care less for the game, and still don't care.

I see this as a lost cause, the way I saw anthem

I just want a bit more single player story content, but I doubt that will happen so probably won't return to the game

Return to the game? It didn't even sell that well did it? I seem to remember reading Mario outsold it in 2 weeks

So basically: "But wait, there's more!"

Waiting for new characters...? I'm waiting for it to come down in price to around £15-£20 before I give the campaign a one and done scenario. The game arrived years too late as the "live service game" bubble is now bursting.

Calling in Damage Control on this PR statement

I'll give it a year to simmer, and then I think it will be a pretty good game at a very reasonable price.

A nosedive? Considering how quickly games disappear from the charts after a week or two, I'd say it's done remarkably well.

@carlos82 Mario outsells most games. Guess most games don't do well.

@naruball In fairness, I would have also expected a game with as big a licence as Avengers to perform equally well as Mario.

I think I'll give it a few months, see how it's doing after 6 months of post-launch updates. If it's been knocked down to £20 or something in that region then I'll probably give it a go just to play through the campaign, which sounds like it's pretty decent.

Greedy business model to the game turned loads of us off. I’m not paying full price to then be billed extra to get features that have been in comic book games for years.

When it’s a tenner and they’ve changed strategy to try and cling to a few players I’ll check it out.

Shame coz this should be right up my street

I actually really love this game. It helps that I'm a big Marvel comics fan but I didn't have any expectations for it as it neared launch. I only bought it when they announced Kate Bishop, one of my favorites. The campaign is a great, the post game content has been fun (but it is repetitive--thankfully the characters feel so different it helps keep things fresh). The game isn't without it's issues, but there hasn't been anything major to push me away. It was well worth the money for me. For anyone on the fence I would definitely say wait for a price drop and then give it a go. Hopefully you will enjoy.

Shoulda been free to play

Way more complex than it needs to be.

I’m enjoying the story mode for what it is but I’ve honestly had more fun playing Marvels Battle Pass on Fortnite.

@naruball I didn't quite mean it like that but for something with Avengers on it really should have done better then it has

It would have had more success as a free to play game

I pretty much forgot all about this game.

As a lifelong true believer - right back to the days of "Tales to Astonish!" I was really looking forward to this. When I heard SE were taking it on I thought, 'excellent' they'll do a good job'. But they didn't. They went for the money instead. What a bunch of S**ts. I played through the demo and then deleted the whole thing and wished it never existed.

Anthem > Avengers

@naruball sales wise it's done good enough but the playerbase is dwindling daily.

"He's "confident" that players will return to the game"

No most of us are busy getting ready for next gen and preparing for PS5, Demon soul's, Miles, etc. Personally I myself don't have time for your crappy little game but after the dust is settled a year from now I'll get it for under $20 😊

I bought it day one and never played it...LOL

I expected this to perform just like Destiny. Sounds like we are getting The Dark Below, which will bring players back briefly. So will House of Wolves. Tho Avengers wont hit its stride til expansion 3, The Taken King.

Honestly I just want Spiderman. Hulk is the only remotely cool character in the game and HawkGuy wont change that. Avengers are about as boring as Justice League, if Justice League didnt have Batman haha.

The fact that they have to address this mere weeks after it launched speaks volumes. I have faith that they can still salvage this, but they definitely have their work cut out. I'm very interested in buying this, but no way am I getting it at full price considering all the issues I've heard about.

Its really kind of depressing that a game I downloaded for free has kept my interest longer than a game that I stupidly paid $65 for.
Finished the campaign in Avengers and due to repetitive end game content, I've moved onto Genshin Impact. I'll probably come back once in a while when new characters are released but it's not something I care to grind in since none of the gear or activities are all that engaging for me.

I did say. I argued with several different users here who were adamant that this game would outsell and outperform Cyberpunk.

It isn't a surprise now, and it shouldn't have been in question a month ago.

Side note: This is why you don't defend live service games. Publishers just aren't responsible enough to use the model wisely.

I didn't try the game, nor do I intend to, but I do believe we're going to see a large resurgence of players once the new consoles hit the market.

@Stocksy I'm confused as to what you are paying extra for. Future content will be free

I was really disappointed with the lack of villains in the base game...you have the entire catalogue to choose from & what do we get? Abomination, Taskmaster, the final boss & a few mech fights.

They were clearly saving things for future DLC, but IMO each side activity on the war table could’ve easily been it’s own small side story with a different villain introduced...similar to Destiny strikes

I didn't bought this game, but global question is: "Why return to game I've already completed?" ok, replaying story, ok... like watch some movie again, but return because of multiplayer? neverending, non-story leveling and grinding? Why? will never understand meaning of multiplayer at all...

If there's an offline campaign on sale I might check it out , offline no internet connection needed! Athem what a disaster I got a loan of that off a friend and omg on 1/2 meg what's the point lol

It sounds like they are going to do just enough to keep ppl playing the game.

I like the gameplay a lot, seriously do...but the repetitive ENEMIES in particular make the game so boring sometimes. I feel like after I'm done with the story there's nothing worth to do.

@Adagiumx you have to pay for battle passes £10 a character to be able to edit them.... not sure what else is locked behind pay walls. CTR content was all “free” but to unlock it all you’d have to pay

Cool. Now put it on sale for $30 or maybe even $20 and I'll be happy to cop it and play it : )

@Stocksy there no cost after the game. The extra characters & content so how is that a greedy business model? Glitchy mess with no content roadmap yes. Price gouging no

@vegeta11 so the news about £10 fighter pass for each character to personalise was fake news? Well that is something I’ll give you.

Yeah the 10 pack is for costumes you can still do what you would normally do with the characters.

I'll get to it when it hits Plus.

Ill wait another 6 months then fully patched and less then half the price then.

@Adagiumx The customizationand that with a lootershooter where that is the main goal.

I rather pay for expansions or just do the MHW approuch with real small MT and events with a big main game.

I don't get this trend for services-based games. If you're really aiming for it, deliver a complete, unique and fun experience from day 1, then extend it with a roadmap. What most publishers seem to be doing is start with nothing, then make a bunch of promises and hope for the best...

All this time and money spent on a game nobody really needed and they could have instead spent a fraction of the money making a new Legacy of Kain game instead.
