Marvel’s Avengers continues to get new content despite its mixed reception. Developer Crystal Dynamic had released the War for Wakanda expansion for Marvel’s Avengers last year and followed it up with the game’s first raid. The post-story content was a big focus of the criticism directed towards Marvel’s Avengers, but many users consider the Klaw Raid to be the best end-game content released for the game.
Players can purchase a wide variety of costumes in Marvel’s Avengers, with some based on the comics or the MCU, and others featuring original designs. These costumes can be bought using premium currency, with the legendary costumes costing 900 Credits, or approximately 9 USD. Players can also earn costumes by opening Shipments, which essentially function as loot boxes. Now, Crystal Dynamics has revealed a new Spider-Man costume based on the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
The Twitter account for Marvel’s Avengers confirms that the Stealth Outfit from Spider-Man: Far From Home will be added to the game, and it will be available later today in the Marketplace for the PS5 and PS4 versions. Fans should note that the same Stealth Suit was added for free in an update for Marvel’s Spider-Man by Insomniac Games, and many users are questioning the developer’s decision to charge for it.
It’s difficult for Marvel’s Avengers to escape comparisons to Marvel’s Spider-Man, especially when the latter offers all skins for free. Regardless, fans have tens of Spider-Man costumes to choose from in the game, and another costume based on Spider-Man: Far From Home was added earlier this year on January 27.
Crystal Dynamics had confirmed that Spider-Man would be coming to Marvel’s Avengers as free post-launch DLC exclusively for PlayStation customers. It took a while, but Spider-Man was finally added to the game in November 2021. Unlike the previously released superheroes, the update featuring Spider-Man did not add main story missions to the game, but players seemed generally pleased with his move-set.
Crystal Dynamics had announced that it will reveal a new roadmap for Marvel’s Avengers in early 2022, and the replies are filled with many fans asking for an update on the same. Live-service games rely upon a regular influx of new content to keep the users engaged, and Marvel’s Avengers has faced difficulty in retaining the player base. Some fans only play the game whenever a new story update comes out and that audience is not even interested in the live-service elements.
Marvel’s Avengers is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
