Marvel and Square Enix Announce Partnership and Avengers Video Game

Precise terms of the deal are still scarce, but the license is slated to last multiple years and produce multiple games, according to Marvel’s announcement, with The Avengers planned to be the debut release.

There’s more than The Avengers Project cooking in the halls of Square Enix‘s various studios.

After years of working on the Deus Ex franchise, it appears that developer Eidos is moving on from the series to two new games, if rumors are to be believed.

It’s a real shame we won’t be seeing any new Deus Ex for some time, although it’s unclear how this ties to a GotG project.

Square Enix and Marvel has announced a major collaboration and it all begins in 2018. That, coupled with another entry into the recently rebooted Tomb Raider series to work on, seems to suggest that Eidos Montreal simply won’t have the time to indulge in another Deus Ex game for quite some time.

Mankind Divided went straight in at No.1 in the United Kingdom charts when it launched back in August 2016, but even its strong first week wasn’t enough for it to outperform its predecessor Human Revolution.

Disappointing news for fans of the iconic Deus Ex series arrived today by way of Eurogamer.

However, from the rest of her speech we find out something about the world being in danger, and that the world needs its superheroes now more than ever, even if they don’t know it yet. This disclosure is a piece of good news to fans and gamers alike who initially feared that the Square Enix Avengers games will disappoint. In short: Eidos Montreal will be stretched pretty thin in the near future. The trailer also referenced two other premier studios involved in “The Avengers Project”, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal.

Eurogamer reports that, after having failed to meet sales expectations, the majority of the workforce has been moved over to develop the next Tomb Raider game (which apparently will be called Shadows of the Tomb Raider).
