Marvel's Avengers begins during A-Day, a celebratory day for the Avengers coinciding with the unveiling of their new headquarters and helicarrier. After a tragedy resulting in death and destruction, the Avengers are blamed for the incident. "Five years later, with all Superheroes outlawed and the world in peril, the only hope is to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
Campaign Content
- Reassemble Campaign – The original Avengers story that follows Kamala Khan as she sets out to reassemble Earth’s Mightiest Heroes.
- Avengers Initiative – The Avengers Initiative is at the heart of our expanding world, where you can jump into online co-op. Here you can continue to hone your team while playing through an interconnected series of stories, missions, and personal hero arcs. The Avengers Initiative will evolve over time with the free addition of new heroes, villains, regions, and gear, for years to come.
Types of Missions in-game
- H.A.R.M. Rooms – Holographic Augmented Reality Machine Rooms – Virtual Reality training rooms you can tackle solo, with AI, or with player companions. Basically, wave after wave of mobs.
- War Zones – Missions you can play with up to 4 heroes, either AI or companion players, or both. Each hero will have unique traversal methods in the environments. A HUD will point out mission objectives and points of interest, including in-game loot boxes. Missions range from 10 minutes to two hours. These include drop zones, villain sectors, hives, faction missions, and vaults.
- Faction Missions – In addition to reassembling the Avengers, players will help rebuild Outposts for their allies. SHIELD suffered greatly after the disbanding of the Avengers, and the Resistance formed as a direct result of AIMs increasingly authoritarian activity worldwide. Players can take part in missions to provide these Factions intel, supplies, and defend them from AIM attacks.
- Drop Zones – Drop Zones are short missions with a single objective, such as defending allies or sabotaging an AIM structure. These missions are great for quick play sessions, and for replaying to gain rewards.
- Villain Sectors – Villain Sector missions culminate with a boss fight, such as notable Marvel villains working in tandem with AIM, or one of the organization’s extra-deadly constructs.
- Iconic Mission – Character specific missions, driven by one character, but matchmaking and AI are still included as supports.
- SHIELD Vaults – Vaults are large explorable spaces that take some legwork to uncover. To access a Vault you first have to locate the coordinates from hidden SHIELD caches around the world. Once you’ve found the entrance, you must fight your way inside and breach the vault before you reap the rewards!
- Hives: Hives are AIM strongholds located throughout the world, the Avengers must uncover their location and fight their way through and a gauntlet of increasingly challenging AIM defenses in order to disable them.
- How long is the campaign?
- According to an interview in 2019, 10-12 hours for the main campaign if you ignore all side quests, but new characters like Hawkeye will extend the campaign with his own storyline. ~30 hours if you go doing side quests. There are also at least 80 missions for launch.
- Can I do the entire game online?
- Almost. Some missions have to be done solo until you unlock the war table.
- Do I have to play online?
- No. You can play with AI companions, but you need to level each character separately if you intend to do that.
- Is there couch co-op?
- No. Online only, sorry!
- Are there QTEs in the game?
- The only QTEs in the game are seen during the intro mission to introduce each individual character. Besides that, no QTEs have been seen in the beta. It is possible there are QTEs somewhere in the campaign content, but it is unknown.
- Is this a micro transaction monster?
- As of right now there is a marketplace where you can buy stuff with credits. You can also farm credits using daily character challenges and weekly challenges to complete the individual character challenge card. There are also units which can be used to buy items at an in-game vendors. Credits are priced at 500 for $5.00. So 100 credits=1.00 USD. You can buy packs of 500, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000. The larger packs include bonus credits.
- Wait what’s a challenge card?
- Every character has a challenge card, they cap at level 40. Each level in your challenge card, which you get from either paying credits to skip levels, or by completing daily and weekly challenges for that character, will unlock something such as more credits, resource packs, emotes, nameplates, and skins. There are also premium levels which require credits to unlock, a total of 1000, which can be farmed in game, but the base six characters will not require this unlock.
- What does endgame look like?
- We don’t know yet, but we do know that raids will be in the final game. Modok will likely be a raid boss as he is touted as the main enemy of the game.
- Does my gear affect my appearance?
- No. Your skin is your appearance. I wouldn’t want gear affecting my Joe Fixit Hulk skin.
- Can you play online?
- Once you unlock the war table you can matchmake to your heart’s content, including campaign missions. 4 player cooperative play is the only thing confirmed so far.
- What is available to buy in the game?
- You can buy nameplates, which are basically your character badge in lobbies/profile. Emotes to use in-game. Takedowns which are flashy finishers to take down a mob. Lastly, character skins.
- Do I have to pay money for new characters and campaign content?
- The developers have confirmed all in-game content such as missions, raids, etc. are free as well as new characters. You do not need to buy a season pass or character pass or anything like that.

- Yes, it has not been publicly revealed yet, but it is at least a year’s worth of content. Crystal Dynamics has already said they are planning to support the game for many years.
- Are there any MCU skins coming?
- Maybe.
- Will we see any X-Men, Inhumans, Fantastic Four, or other Marvel universe characters in here?
- Maybe? The developers have said no one is off the table, it is more a question of whether or not they fit in this new universe. She-Hulk is rumored.
- How does loot, gear and upgrades work?
- Gear has rarity levels, common (gray), uncommon (green), rare (blue), epic (epic), and legendary (orange). You can upgrade them with resources you get from doing missions and beating mobs. Uncommon gear can be boosted three levels, rare can be boosted five levels, epic and legendary can be boosted ten levels.
- Exotics
- With that said, we also do have other ways we've found to expand the loot system. For example, we have these things called Exotic Artifacts, which are objects pulled from the reaches and all-corners of Marvel lore that you find in all the obscure comics of all genres. They allow us to even pull things in from the Doctor Strange universe and make ties to that. And those actually you do visually see, because when you activate them, you'll materialise them and you'll see the visuals." Thanks

- Patterns
- Patterns are earned through high-level crates, activities, Faction Missions, and increasing your Faction level. They can be used at Fabrication Machines to create an Outfit or Nameplate.
- The combat seems generic and shallow, am I just mashing an attack through waves of mobs?
- The combat system is anything but shallow. You just need to level a bit and experiment with each character. As you level and unlock more abilities, you unlock more combo possibilities for each character.
- This game seems easy. Is there only one difficulty setting?
- Each mission has settings for difficulty, and it does not affect the gear drops.
- Challenge I – Decreases enemy power levels.
- Challenge II – The standard difficulty.
- Challenge III – Increases enemy power levels.
- Challenge IV – Further increases enemy power levels.
- Each mission has settings for difficulty, and it does not affect the gear drops.
- How is power level and character level different?
- Character level determines your skill points in your character and base stats, and power level is an average of your item level.
- But muh next gen?
- Avengers is cross-play between current gen and next gen for people on Xbox One and Xbox Series One X or whatever the hell it is and cross-play for PS4 to PS5.The current gen to next gen upgrade is free though for people who buy the current gen game.
- What are the accessibility options available?
- Too many to list but you can find them all here! (https://avengers.square-enix-games.com/en-us/news/accessibility/)
- Anything else?
- Yes, here are the blog posts that go in more specific details than what is already above.
This is my first OT ever.
