Marvel Avengers has been somewhat of a mixed experience for players, whether it be the gameplay or the live-service model chock full of paid add-ons, cosmetics, and content packs. But it’s all coming to an end. Marvel Avengers is getting a final content update today, and all Marvel Avengers cosmetic items will be free.
Marvel Avengers Final Update
Today, Crystal Dynamics shared the official 2.8 Patch notes for the title, which you can check out here. But that’s not all. The developer stated they were ready to bury the hatchet on Marvel Avengers back in January 2023. But plans changed, and the final content update for Marvel Avengers was rescheduled for Match. Support ends on 30th September.
NEW FEATURES
- The Marketplace has been unlocked! What does this mean?
- Nearly all MCU- and non-MCU-inspired Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates are now automatically available on your Hero Card.
- Items that are earned through the campaign, however, or purchased through the Cosmetic Vendor must be earned or purchased, respectively, as they always have been.
- Both the Shipments system and Hero Challenge Cards have both been completely removed from the game. Items that were previously earnable from Shipments and Hero Challenge Cards are included in the hundreds of Marketplace items that are automatically granted when you update to v2.8.
- You do not need to be connected to the internet to be able to access all of the unlocked Marketplace content after updating to v2.8.
- Nearly all MCU- and non-MCU-inspired Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates are now automatically available on your Hero Card.
- As a thank-you to players who’ve been with us on the journey, we’re granting a special Founder’s Gift – Iron Man’s ‘Variable Threat Response Battle Suit.’ This Outfit will be automatically granted to any player who has earned at least one Trophy/Achievement before April 1.
With that said, the game is coming to the end of its life cycle with Marvel Avenger’s final content update. Players can still get a hold of Marvel Avengers cosmetic items for free. What are your thoughts on this? Let us know in the comments below.
