The Avengers Project Video Games: Everything You Need To Know

2. We Could Be Seeing Massive Variation In Gameplay

Of course, any title that has split development is bound to offer a wide array of gameplay, and with a membership as diverse as that of The Avengers, you just know a game won't be a simple third-person affair.

The abilities of the team offer paths into stealth, action, shooting, flying, destruction and then some, which exemplifies the inherent strengths of bringing such a group to the gaming medium. If executed correctly, this could mean that there's quite literally something for everyone, in turn, allowing the developers to place a focus on co-operative gameplay, a feature dependant on the entire team carrying out their roles to perfection.

Consider Ultimate Alliance 2, for a moment. Its focus on 'fusions' - a feature that saw players combine their abilities to wreak ultra destructive results - was a great concept, but it lacked nuance.

Here, there is a clear and present opportunity to expand upon that feature, making each player feel as though they're a part of a team, doing the best at what they do.

Whether it's nice or not, is at Enix's discretion.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
