Marvel's Avengers

***Marvel's Avengers*** is a game based on the Marvel superhero team of the same name. It was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix. The game was released on September 4, 2020 on Xbox One, Google Stadia, PC, and PlayStation 4. A next generation update for Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 was released on March 18, 2021. Service ended on September 30, 2023 and was removed from digital storefronts the same day.

## Description

Marvel’s Avengers begins at A-Day, where Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor are unveiling a hi-tech Avengers Headquarters in San Francisco — including the reveal of their own helicarrier powered by an experimental energy source. The celebration turns deadly when a catastrophic accident results in massive devastation. Blamed for the tragedy, the Avengers disband. Five years later, with all super heroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.

The game features iconic heroes as you’ve never seen them before, notable villains, recognizable locations, and awesome powers set in an original Avengers story.
Unlock powerful skills, heroic abilities, and unique gear for each of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes to suit your play style. Up to four players assemble online to defend the Earth from escalating threats that only the Avengers can overcome. Featuring regular content updates, Marvel's Avengers will take players on an epic journey delivered over multiple years, during which you will master extraordinary abilities, customize a growing roster of Heroes, and defend the Earth from escalating threats.

## Development

In 2023, Crystal Dynamics confirmed that on September 30, the game will no longer be sold.

**Subtitles**: Marvel’s Avengers features subtitles in 15 languages, including: Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (Traditional & Simplified), Czech, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Russian, Spanish (Iberian), and Spanish (LATAM). Subtitles are turned off by default, but can be easily enabled via the Display menu. Subtitle options include a presentation with white text, or one that color codes to each character (ex: Hulk = Green).

**Closed Captions**: Not only added closed captions for sound effects, but narrative tracks for descriptive play as well. When subtitles are turned on, you will also see closed captions added to cinematics by default.

**Gameplay Customization**

* Vibration: On/Off
* Multi-Tap Interact Style: Default/Hold/Tap – This feature allows the adjustment of input requirements for interactions that require rapid button presses to complete, such as quick-time events. Setting this option to HOLD changes the requirement to holding down the button. Setting this option to TAP will auto-complete the interaction with only a single button press.
* Difficulty Options (Easy/Normal/Hard/Brutal): Let you focus on story by reducing combat barriers, or find balance with a greater challenge

**Camera Customization**

* Camera > Shake Sensitivity (0-10): Keep the camera moving like a blockbuster movie, or if you’re prone to eye strain or motion sickness, tone it down as desired.
* Camera Sensitivity (0-10): Allows for the adjustment of camera movement outside of aiming.
* X/Y Access Aim Sensitivity (0-10): Separate scalars that allow for adjusting aim sensitivity on both the X and Y axis
* Targeting Assistance (Off/Light/Moderate/Heavy): Adjusts the amount of assistance applied when aiming at targets.

**Controls**

* Button Mapping: On PC *and* console, allows players to use input devices and create control schemes that fit their individual needs
* Text Chat: Support for Speech to Text and Text to Speech chat on Xbox via their Game Chat Transcription setting, and through the PlayStation 4 companion application PS4 Second Screen
* Tactical Awareness: Triggering Tactical Awareness highlights points of interest, guides you to your next objective, and highlights AI or co-op companions. Hit this button if you ever need a reminder of where to go next

**Other**

* High Contrast Mode UI: makes it easier to navigate menus for low vision users or those who prefer simpler interfaces
* Subtitle Sizing Options: options for adjusting the size of subtitles for better legibility
