The Avengers Project Video Games: Everything You Need To Know

6. It's Going To Have A Completely Original Story

A given, considering the ever-present dismal state of movie tie-in releases, but still, we have confirmation that what we're getting is something altogether new and different than other Marvel excursions across the cultural sphere, whether that be in film, TV, or otherwise.

The sombre tone of the trailer also points towards the disassembly of the Avengers themselves, with the team's iconography littered across what could very well be a war zone. This would seemingly make reference to the controversial 'Disassembled' story-arc that heralded Brian Bendis' tepid affair with the license.

Being dubbed as a 'project', it could be that the release will charge players with assembling their own Avengers, bringing the band back together to face a threat that would probably blow up a few buildings or something. Y'know, Avenger-y type stuff.

And of course, there's the matter of the trailer's narrator. In this instance, I'd say your guess is as good as mine, though the fact they ended their speech with a call to reassemble would point towards previous Avengers membership. Could this be the Wasp trying to bring the band back together? Who knows.

What we do know, however, is that the Avengers have been AWOL for some time now, times are desperate, and a former member is trying to bring them back together. It's as good a premise as any other, and if it gives players the excuse to craft their own team, then, well, that's even better.
