The Avengers Project: 10 Things It Must Include

10. PvE Online

It doesn’t need online play. Spider-Man is the most obvious link to amazing offline-only games, but even without leaving PS4 exclusives there’s God Of War, Horizon: Zero Dawn, Uncharted, The Last Of Us...

But, arguably the best single player game ever made is Grand Theft Auto V. And GTA’s online component has raked in $6 billion since release. It’s possible the scale of that profit was funnelled into Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s also possible their executives have daily money fights with wads of cash, but the point is it’s easy to think Square Enix’s head will be turned.

So if they do go the online route, PvE seems the right way to go. They wouldn’t have to worry about making each character perfectly balanced (as all things should be), and while an Overwatch style Avengers could be fun, an Overwatch quality game can’t be easily slapped onto the side of something.

Single player should and will still be the main focus, but PvE could offer something extra. Imagine climbing into Tony’s Iron Man suit and heading online with a bunch of mates to defend New York from Loki’s invasion once more.
