Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, Eidos-Montr?al assemble for Marvel The Avengers Project

Whoa… first we get a Spider-Man game from Insomniac, and now we’re getting multiple Marvel Avengers games from Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montr?al. Needless to say, we’re expecting some damn good superhero videogames over the next couple of years.

Today, Square Enix and Marvel Entertainment revealed that they signed a “a multi-year, multi-game partnership” to develop these Avengers games which will be grouped under what they are calling “The Avengers Project”. THat’s the good news.  The bad news? We won’t be seeing or hearing much about these new titles until 2018…

See the teaser trailer for this exciting new project below along with the announcement.

The Avengers Project Announcement Trailer:

Marvel Entertainment and SQUARE ENIX today announced a new multi-year, multi-game licensing agreement to develop and publish original games based on beloved Marvel Super Heroes, beginning with The Avengers. This newly established partnership pairs the creative minds at Marvel and Square Enix for one of the most powerful alliances in interactive entertainment. The first blockbuster game is being crafted by Crystal Dynamics, developers of the award winning TOMB RAIDER series, in collaboration with Eidos-Montr?al, the home of the critically acclaimed and award-winning DEUS EX game series.

The Avengers project is being designed for gamers worldwide and will be packed with all the characters, environments, and iconic moments that have thrilled longtime fans of the franchise. Featuring a completely original story, it will introduce a universe gamers can play in for years to come. More details on The Avengers project and other games will be announced in 2018.

?By partnering with Crystal Dynamics and Eidos-Montr?al, we are now working with two of the industry?s most talented and respected game development studios to bring Marvel stories to life in ways our fans have never experienced,? said Jay Ong, Senior Vice President, Games & Innovation, Marvel Entertainment. ?The Avengers project is a perfect example of how Marvel is making games a key part of the landscape for Marvel storytelling, alongside comics, television and film. We can only do this by matching our greatest Super Heroes with the world?s top developers, such as the creative minds at Square Enix.?

?Marvel?s diverse, innovative universe has created millions of longtime fans, including all of us,? said Phil Rogers, CEO, Square Enix Americas and Europe. ?It?s exciting to bring together Square Enix?s award-winning development studios with Marvel?s extraordinary storytellers to establish a new entertainment powerhouse.  This collaboration of passion and talent will craft epic, imaginative experiences allowing gamers to live out their Super Hero dreams like never before.?
