How Avengers game will set up a multiplayer universe
Two years after it was first announced at 2017’s E3 convention, Square Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics debuted the first look at itsthis week. The action title features familiar heroes such as Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, Black Widow and Hulk — though their faces were a bit unfamiliar for fans expecting to see versions of the characters made famous by Robert Downey Jr. and co.
“It’s creating a new Marvel universe. We were creating a brand new thing in collaboration with Marvel so it really did demand our own characters,” adds Vince Napoli, lead combat designer at Crystal Dynamics. Escayg says Marvel gave him and his team an “amazing” amount of range with its characters. “That’s always the fear, right? These are beloved, iconic characters. How do we take this and spin it and make it our own without conflict?” he says. “But Marvel has been very good to challenge us and ensure we stay on point but, at the same time, give us the freedom to tell this specific story.”
“The cooperative element helps a lot. It’s almost like playing a different game when you get to each character,” he continues. “That was something that Marvel really pushed for. They said if you’re going to tackle Iron Man this needs to feel like an Iron Man game when you’re in his shoes.”
