The last time we checked in with Marvel's Avengers was over three months ago. At that time the game had only just launched and it was loaded with bugs, glitches, and frankly was almost unplayable in co-op. Recently the game got its first character DLC with Kate Bishop, released for free for all players. So we decided to dive back in.

Marvel's Avengers has finally arrived and it is equal parts fun/engaging and a buggy mess prone to crashing. We attempted to play through some of the co-op last night and, after nearly an hour, we finally managed to get all the way through a mission without the game crashing or some other bug cropping up. So... success?

Marvel Avengers has been a mostly hidden title since it was announced at E3 just about a year ago. While the game has had tidbits of information and media released since then we haven't seen much in terms of core content, despite the delay from earlier this year. Now with a 90 minute live stream reveal, Square-Enix and developer Crystal Dynamics have showed off a good chunk of what the game has to offer.

Little is known about the upcoming Avengers game from Crystal Dynamics other than: 1) its unique aesthetic, 2) it will have a September 4th release date, and 3) it will have co-op  Thankfully, Episode 366 of the official PlayStation podcast helped with some of this. In the interview, studio head Scot Amos  mentioned that Kamala Khan (a character featuring healing and polymorphic abilities) will have a similar point of view as the player. This makes a lot of sense, as Amos  puts it: "People who are fans of anything Marvel will have some way in, will already have an understanding. That's why Kamala's so special to us... she is us in a way, right? She's a fan of the Avengers."

If you had May 15, 2020 circled on your calendar and have just been counting down the days until you'll be able to play Marvel's Avengers, go ahead and get your correction fluid, remove that circle, and put a new one on September 4, 2020 (maybe use pencil). Crystal Dynamics announced via Twitter that they need a little more development time "focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve."

New York Comic Con wrapped up this past Sunday, but one of the highlights of the event (for us, at least), was the reveal of a new playable character for the forthcoming Marvel's Avengers. Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, will figure prominently in the story and appears to be the catalyst to get the Avengers back together after the events of "A-Day."

If you're coming to this fine cooperative gaming website, you're probably into gameplay videos of unreleased titles.  That's all well and good, but are you still into it if said videos are nearing the runtime of a Seinfeld episode?  If so, I have some fantastic news for you.

This week, Crystal Dynamics and Square-Enix finally pulled back the curtain on their upcoming Marvel's Avengers game... sort of. During Square-Enix's Monday night press conference, some time was spent to talk around the title a whole bunch without saying much of anything really substantive. The few details we got from it all is that it will have four player online co-op, it looks like a third-person action game, there are plans in place for continued content updates after its release (it sounds like it may be similar to Destiny or Anthem), and it'll be out May 15, 2020.
