Marvel's Avengers Game for final big update

Read Time:5 Minute, 27 Second

Marvel’s Avengers Game reached one of its final major milestones today, as it received its final major update, which Crystal Dynamics announced in January. This patch adds many free cosmetics to each character while also tweaking some of the game’s systems.

While Crystal Dynamics previously stated that all cosmetics would be provided for free, it has recently backed down slightly with a more honest description. “Almost” all cosmetics have been unlocked, with the exception of items which players have always had to unlock through the advertisement.

New Marvel Avengers Game Features for only available to players who have completed at least one achievement or trophy.

Even so, almost every character has dozens of costumes to try on, some of which are brand new, such as Thor’s prehistoric Odin outfit and Black Widow’s 2012 Avengers suit. Iron Man’s War Machine armor is also among the new skins, but it is only available to players who have completed at least one achievement or trophy.

Credits have really been transformed to other assets, as explained previously by Crystal Dynamics. The image above should assist players in understanding the exchange rates. Hero’s Catalysts and Fragment Concentrators have been removed from the game, but players are going to get access to a permanent 1.5 multiplayer mode based on fragments and experience.

The game will also be removed from digital shopfronts on September 30, and servers will remain operational for the foreseeable future, allowing players to play solo or in co-op. Some minor fixes may be implemented until then (such as the April 4 hotfix),so bugs that appear after that date may go unfixed because the studio will assumedly be focusing solely on the next Tomb Raider game.

The remainder of the patch involves additional balance adjustments and bug fixes. The following are the complete Marvel’s Avengers 2.8 patch notes:

New Features in marvel’s avengers game

The Marketplace is now open! What exactly does this mean?

Almost all MCU and non-MCU Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates are now available on your Hero Card.
Items earned through the campaign or bought through the Cosmetic Vendor, on the other hand, must be earned or purchased as they have always been.
The Shipments system, as well as Hero Challenge Cards, have been entirely eliminated from the game. Items previously earned through Shipments and Hero Challenge Cards are now among the hundreds of Open market items that are granted automatically when you update to v2.8.
After updating to v2.8, you no longer need to be linked to the web to connect all of the unboxed Marketplace content.
We’re granting a special Founder’s Gift – Iron Man’s ‘Variable Threat Response Battle Suit’ – as a thank you to players who’ve been with us on the journey. This Outfit will be given to any player who has achieved a minimum of one Awards before April 1.
Credits accounts have been transformed to in-game resources. The chart below deconstructs that conversion. Please contact our Support team at http://support.crystald.com/ if you have any questions about your balance conversion.
Owned Hero’s Catalysts and Remnant Extractors have been removed from the game entirely. In their place, a permanent 1.5x multiplier on Shards and XP is now in effect.
