Early today, Square Enix and Marvel announced, via Twitter, that they will be working with Marvel on a new Avengers multi-game franchise. The announcement came with a trailer that also told us who will be working on the project: Eidos Montreal, and Crystal Dynamics. The former being the studio behind the Deus Ex franchise, the Thief reboot, and had a hand in the Tomb Raider reboot and it sequel Rise of the Tomb Raider; The latter, the primary developer behind the aforementioned, and excellent, Tomb Raider reboot and sequel.
So, that's Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics, and Eidos Montreal all working on an Avengers project. #Reassemble. How could you not be hyped right now!? I am super stoked and even more so eager to learn more about this. Done well, and I don't expect it won't be, this could very well be the Marvel game we've all been waiting for.
Once I've got my hype a bit more under control, I plan to evaluate and assess the trailer. Those impressions will be up on my other page! Expect them soonish.
