Marvel’s Avengers
Marvel’s Avengers is, of course, already a mega-franchise after years of beloved comics and a movie saga that has become a pop-culture phenomenon. But here we’re talking specifically about Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming action game, which is looking to piggyback on the success of Marvel’s popularity and become the next hot superhero game since PS4 exclusive Spider-Man.
Despite the divisive appearance of its characters –which upset fans for not looking as they do in the movies– and a recently announced delay, we think there’s still every chance that Avengers is destined to go on and become a hallmark series of games for Square Enix.
After all, it would be in keeping with the “Marvel connected universe” design premise, right? Surely Square Enix is looking to build on what it hopes is a successful first Avengers game with a bunch of sequels that introduce new storylines and characters?
It only stands to reason that major players of the video game industry will look to emulate the same strategy as their film counterparts.
