a well regarded marvel avengers Insider has recently shared good news about the popular superhero game. in the last days, avengers developer crystal dynamics was officially acquired by the Embracer Group after being sold by Square Enix. While this move was previously known to be happening, the fact that the deal was made official led fans to wonder what would happen now with continued support from marvel avengers. Fortunately, it doesn’t look like much needs to change in the near future.
according to a marvel avengers leaker who goes by the name of Miller, the Embracer group is now said to be negotiating a deal with wonder games that will allow Crystal Dynamics to continue supporting the project in the future. Although nothing official is said to be announced about this partnership in the near future, Miller shared that those within Crystal Dynamics continue to work on marvel avengers “relatively constant”. While he emphasized that this could end up changing in the future, it appears that the change in the companies that own Crystal Dynamics hasn’t altered the way the development team operates within the studio.
From the outside, it looks like Embracer is in the midst of a deal with Marvel that extends well beyond Avengers (which is understandable with recent news suggesting both EA and Ubisoft have Marvel content in the works).

In a general sense, this is not too surprising given that Crystal Dynamics recently outlined his plans by marvel avengers in the coming months. Specifically, the game is set to see The Winter Soldier added as a new playable character at an unspecified time later in 2022. Additionally, the studio also said it was planning new content for avengers which would launch throughout 2023. While it seemed possible that Embracer would shut down these plans, instead the new parent company seems committed to keeping the game alive.
Probably the most interesting part of this new information from Miller is that Embracer may be looking to do a bigger deal with Marvel, which would allow their studios to work on other projects tied to the comics brand. In recent years, Marvel Games has worked with various publishers such as PlayStation, Take-Two, Skydance New Media, and Square Enix. Clearly, Embracer is now looking to establish a relationship with Marvel that could go beyond continued support from avengers.
Are you glad to know that the development of marvel avengers apparently going to continue in the long term? And how would you like to see the game evolve in the future? Let me know in the comments or send me a message on Twitter at @MooreMan12.
