12. Marvel's Avengers

Yes, I forgot about this too, but Marvel's Avengers is dropping in the first Marvel movie-devoid year since 2008.

Honestly, the game could go either way. Crystal Dynamics are attempting a fascinating blend of triple-A storytelling with the likes of Troy Baker, Laura Bailey and Nolan North on the cast, with a dynamic "live game" multiplayer that updates across months and years post-launch.

The former has mostly resulted in shrugs as the story revolves around a failed set of Avengers being convinced to fight again, but the latter will see villains and encounters "plugged in" to a live set of locations.

It's this latter component that also comes with a loot grind and tons of moves to unlock. The idea of teaming up with friends to respond to "distress calls" per city or environment is admittedly badass, but it remains to be seen whether publisher Square Enix will microtransaction these modes to death instead.
