Crystal Dynamics Will End Support For Marvel Avengers This Year

Much like how some doctors pull the plug on a terminal patient because they’re beyond recovery, so too has Crystal Dynamics with Marvel’s Avengers.

The game developer has announced it will end support for the Square Enix game later this year. The company will publish its final update on 31 March, 2023 and end all official support on 30 September, 2023. At least the single-player and multi-player gameplayer will continue to be available.

“To our amazing community, after two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, following Update 2.8 on March 31, 2023, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers.

Even after official support ceases on September 30, 2023, both single- and multi-player gameplay will continue to be available.

Update 2.7, which added the Winter Soldier Hero and Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat, is the last new content to be added to the game. No new cosmetics are coming to the Marketplace, and all final balance updates will occur in Update 2.8 in March.

Along with the end of development, we’ll also be turning off the cosmetics Marketplace. When Update 2.8 launches on March 31, 2023, Credits will no longer be purchasable and all remaining Credit balances will be converted into in-game resources to aid ongoing adventures.”

At least it had a good three-year run. Marvel’s Avengers came out on September 2020 for PC and consoles to middling reviews.
