Square Enix teased a huge announcement yesterday and we now know what that is –Avenger Reassemble. That’s right! Square is working with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montreal to craft this new gaming project for the Marvel universe.
“By partnering with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montréal, we are now working with two of the industry’s most talented and respected game development studios to bring Marvel stories to life in ways our fans have never experienced,“ said Jay Ong, Senior Vice President, Games & Innovation, Marvel Entertainment. “The Avengers project is a perfect example of how Marvel is making games a key part of the landscape for Marvel storytelling, alongside comics, television and film. We can only do this by matching our greatest Super Heroes with the world’s top developers, such as the creative minds at Square Enix.”
We don’t know much about the project, but we do know that it’s in good hands with all parties involved in the development. We got a teaser trailer that looks to show a fallen team of Avengers as a narrator explains that the world still needs heroes, or some junk.
It’s an original story, even if it’s been done to death in the comics. Here’s hoping you play as a hero that is working to bring the team back together against some larger threat.
We won’t know much until 2018 alongside other Marvel project, so don’t expect any additional news until at least E3 this summer.
