Official support for Marvel’s Avengers ends on September 30, meaning that as of that date you will no longer be able to purchase Crystal Dynamics’ ill-fated superhero adventure. Fortunately, a dramatic sale has now taken place – at just the right time.
Marvel’s Avengers – The Definitive Edition is 90% off in a deal that ends September 30, the same day it disappears forever. This puts the game just a few dollars shy of free.
The sale arrived together with a Note from Crystal Dynamics About deleting the game. The studio said that while Marvel’s Avengers will no longer be for sale, it will remain playable for owners largely as it is today.
Specifically, all currently available content will remain available for single and multiplayer play after September 30th. If you own the game, it will remain in your game library for download and reinstallation after that date. Even limited-time events like Red Room Takeover will continue after September 30, alternating over two weeks. Crystal Dynamics explained that recurring quest chains, events, and rewards will continue to update according to the rhythms they have always had. All operations and the War of Wakanda expansion will remain playable as they are now.
However, support for Marvel’s Avengers will end on September 30, meaning no customer support and no further updates.
“Thank you to all our players for joining us on these adventures and letting us tell our stories with Kamala, Bruce, Tony, Steve, Nat, Thor, Clint, Kate, T’Challa, Pete, Jane, and Bucky,” Crystal Dynamics said.
“For anyone who has not joined us yet, we hope you will seize this last opportunity to join Earth’s Mightiest Heroes alongside your friends.
“Remember: goodness is not something you are; It’s something you do.
Marvel’s Avengers got its final patch in March, less than three years after the game’s release. It made many of the game’s cosmetic items more accessible, removing the shipment systems and Hero Challenge Cards entirely and placing their rewards in the marketplace instead. The update also automatically converted players’ Credits into in-game resources and turned Hero Catalysts and Fragment Extractors into a permanent 1.5x multiplier on Fragments earned and experience points.
