Square Enix Will Be Ending Support For Marvel’s Avengers After One Final Update
Avengers fans assemble because you’ll only have two months left to enjoy new content in Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers. Due to the game’s disappointing turnout, publisher Square Enix has decided to end support for the multiplayer action brawler come September 30th.
Square Enix isn’t pulling the plug on the game though, and it will continue to operate as an entirely free-to-play game in maintenance mode for the time being.
“After two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers. All official support for the game will end on September 30, 2023,” announced Square Enix. “The decision was made in conjunction with our partners that now was the right time to make this change.”
The studio will be releasing one final update, Update 2.8, on March 31, 2023 and will be disabling microtransactions and making all cosmetic items free for everyone upon its release. These include all outfits, takedowns, emotes, challenge cards, shipments, and nameplates.
“We know this is disappointing news as everyone in our community has such a connection to these characters and their stories,” said the studio. “We’re so, so grateful that you came on this adventure with us. Your excitement for Marvel’s Avengers – from your epic Photo Mode shots, to your threads theorizing who our next Heroes would be, to your Twitch streams – has played a large part in bringing this game to life.”
“We hope you continue to play and enjoy Marvel’s Avengers. We can’t thank you enough for your support and for being part of our super team,” the team concluded.
In the meantime, you can still enjoy all of the new content added to the game with the release of Update 2.7: The Winter Soldier back in November.
