Most Anticipated Games of 2020
Honorable Mention: Marvel’s Avengers
Deputy Guides Editor Tom Hopkins: Still proving to be kinda confusing to some people, Marvel’s Avengers is next May. Part linear action game, part globe-trotting multiplayer game, and part Avengers movie, it’s exciting to see how it’ll turn out.
Fans weren’t particularly enamoured with the look of the game when Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix first revealed it, but taking control of all of your favorite heroes should be a lot of fun, no matter how they look.
From what we saw at E3, it looks like every character will be completely unique, feeling different and having a variety of attacks/gadgets at the disposal.
It’ll be great to experience a huge Marvel story as the iconic characters, without them feeling like re-skins of each other.
Crystal Dynamics have also proven themselves to be quality action game developers, so it’s exciting to see what they’re going to do with such a huge license.
Arguably more exciting that the linear story, however, is how they’ll approach multiplayer. Creating a mini-Avengers squad with your friends will be a lot of fun, and Marvel has created a world that’s expansive enough to see content add to the game long after the story’s credits roll.
