Marvel’s Avengers will make its way to the current-gen consoles in September this year. Just like in the movies and comic books, The Avengers will come together to save the world from heinous crimes. It will feature third-person perspective gameplay and allow you to assemble a team of superheroes of your choice.

The game will include customizable options, which will allow you to modify the costume and the abilities of the characters. For post-launch support, Crystal Dynamics has plans to support the game for years to come. This means that the list of superheroes and their respective missions will be updated periodically.
