Marvel’s Avengers gets a stunning new trailer that teases us with hints of the game’s story.
Basics
On June 24, 2020; IGN unveiled a new story trailer for Marvel’s Avengers, developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Said story trailer gives us tantalizing new details on the plot, which so far is pretty sparse. Of particular note is that Kamala Khan (aka. Ms. Marvel) is the main protagonist of the game, and the main antagonists will apparently be Leader and MODOK. While I’m familiar with Kamala Khan, I had no idea who MODOK was. For those of you who have no idea who MODOK is, you’re not the only one. For those of you who’re freaked out by MODOK when you looked him up, you’re also not the only one.
Gameplay
As for gameplay though, funnily enough, IGN also released a gameplay trailer at the same time as the story trailer. This gameplay trailer seems to take place late in the game’s story, and it features Thor fighting an army of robots alongside the other Avengers on top of a helicarrier’s flight deck. The gameplay seems to be a third-person hack-and-slash type game, and seems to be visually. impressive but a bit repetitive. I’ll let you be the judge of that though.
Conclusion
In spite of the slightly repetitive gameplay trailer, the story trailer just blew me away. The story promises to be quite dramatic and spectacular. The premise seems to be similar to Infamous Second Son, so hopefully Marvel’s Avengers will turn out to have just as good a story. The game is set to be released on September 4 on Windows, PS4, Xbox, and Stadia. I, for one, will definitely be eagerly awaiting its release.
