Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that it will stop working on Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em><\/a>, with the final significant update coming March 31 before official customer support ends on September 30.<\/p>\n

In a blog post<\/a> on the game\u2019s website, Crystal Dynamics says that the \u201cdecision was made in conjunction with our partners that now was the right time to make this change,\u201d and that \u201cno new stories, features, or Heroes will be added to the game\u201d going forward. It added that Spider-Man will remain a PlayStation exclusive character. Thankfully, the post also confirms that both single-player and multiplayer will still be available to play in Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> after September 30. Update 2.8, which releases on March 31, will disable the purchase of Credits and convert remaining Credit balances into in-game resources for players alongside some other balance updates. There will be no refunds to players who have spent money on the game, though.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"The<\/figure>\n

As is to be expected with an update like this, the developers are also making content previously only available behind a paywall free to players. That means all Marketplace, Challenge Card, and Shipment cosmetics will be free for players to redeem after March 31. If you haven\u2019t picked Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> up yet, you\u2019ll need to do so by September 30, as it will be removed from digital storefronts then.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> was just never able to find its footing <\/a>despite its use of a great IP. Hyped up as the next great live service game ahead of its release, the game was plagued with problems upon its launch in September 2020, and post-launch support has been slow and delay-filled. Rumors suggest<\/a> that the team working on this game has only gotten smaller and smaller as Crystal Dynamics has moved on to projects like Tomb Raider<\/em><\/a> and Perfect Dark<\/em><\/a>, so the game never really had a chance to come back from a rocky launch like Destiny<\/em> or No Man\u2019s Sky<\/em> did.<\/p>\n

Ironically, even this closure announcement didn\u2019t go smoothly, as the entire website for Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> went down when Crystal Dynamics tweeted a link to the news at 5:30 p.m. ET today. A follow-up tweet<\/a> from the game\u2019s account says \u201chigh traffic\u201d caused those issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Marvel\u2019s Avengers<\/em> is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.\u00a0<\/p>\n
