The Avengers Project Video Games: Everything You Need To Know

1. This Is Just The Beginning

So, you know how the MCU started off, right? And how we all lost our collective sh*t when Nick Fury entered Stark's mansion way back when in 2008? Well, it looks as though it's about to happen again. Yeah, I don't think the novelty's worn off either.

The press release specifically noted that the Avengers Project will be the first in a long line of Marvel titles, created in cooperation with Square Enix and any developer under their umbrella. It's clear that this will be a "multi-year, multi-game" affair, much in the same way EA have conducted their Star Wars business with Disney. However, there is a key difference going on here, in that the Avengers Project sounds like one, singular vision, as opposed to EA's all out assault on various branches of the Star Wars mythos.

What could this mean?

Well, it could be that each successive release, much like the MCU, builds towards an end-game at the conclusion of its first wave (or phase, if you prefer). An overarching plot certainly sounds enticing, but if we are truly building towards a Marvel Gaming Universe, well, I think it's safe to say I'm hooked. Like, no doubt it. The next year-long wait will be excruciating.

When Marvel's gaming VP remarked that Insomniac's Spidey title would be "a signal of things to come", I'm not so sure anyone pictured this. Regardless of whatever shape or form the Avengers Project may take, I think it's safe to say that our collective interests have been piqued.

Roll on 2018.
