PlayStation.Blog also revealed information from its chat with Crystal Dynamics' Studio Creative Head, Noah Hughes, and we've broken down everything you need to know below.As players level up their Super Heroes in Marvel's Avengers, they will be able to purchase new abilities via skill trees that will upgrade each hero's attack power, and the choices in each tree will support multiple different types of build that will suit each player's playstyle.“We have a vast amount of Gear unique to each Super Hero in Marvel’s Avengers, each with its own rarity, stats, and Perks to unlock,” Hughes said. “When we say ‘play your way,’ we mean it. Players can dive deep into min-maxing their hero build through Skills and Gear. Players can switch out Gear and choose which pieces suit individual playstyles as new, better Gear is discovered or earned, allowing them to further tune their playstyle.”As for the Gear, the "real powers are found by unlocking their innate Perks." Perks add modifiers to existing Gear, like unleashing an AOE Burst upon taking damage or faster recharging of Heroics. Furthermore, Branded Gear Sets will allow for even more customized builds with stat bonuses.All special outfits/suits in the game will be purely cosmetic and will have, "a combination of fan favorites from comics, the colorful and rich designs present in eighty-plus years of Marvel history and new designs that are completely original to the game," Hughes said.Each suit can be unlocked or purchased and won't affect gameplay in any way, and Marvel's Avengers has "…no loot boxes, no pay-to-win, you’re not going to be paying money to beat the game or be better at the game."“I am very much enjoying Black Widow the most right now,” Hughes commented, “I love her agility and combos. Black Widow’s grapple allows her to zip around, she’s got pistols which give her really good range, and she’s got Widow’s Bite and various equipment as some of her specials. Her gauntlets have special attacks — you may have seen there are a couple Heroics you can trigger through Skills players can modify or upgrade, like her trademark Widow’s Bite. She’s also got her tonfa, which are awesome, and she can also combine them into a deadly bo staff. There’s just a wide and wild range of unique skills she can put into action.”While Crystal Dynamics is holding off until early 2020 to fully unveil Marvel's Avengers co-op, it has revealed a few details about how it will work."As you see in the video, there are two different types of missions: Hero Missions and Warzone Missions. Hero Missions are single-player only and are part of the overall Campaign. These Hero Missions are specific canvases to showcase each hero as you reassemble them to your growing roster. Warzone Missions can be played solo or with a group of up to four players as any Hero in your roster, allowing you to embody an Avenger within a team of Avengers! Each mission scales based on the team size and makeup," Hughes elaborated.If players are looking to jump into Marvel's Avengers with friends as fast as possible, they will be able to "fast-track straight to multiplayer" following their completion of the introductory "A-Day" battle. However, Hughes warns, "the caveat there is that you'll be exposed to spoilers." Additionally, the game will scale difficulty depending on which friends you bring into battle and how powerful their characters are.For those looking to enjoy both Hero Missions and Warzone Missions, character progress will be persistent across modes and will allow players to experience any part of Marvel's Avengers with the characters they've built up at any time.Player choice is also of utmost importance to Crystal Dynamics, and they encourage players to build their characters as they see fit. Even though players will be playing a small pool of Super Heroes, they can customize their Thor, Iron Man, Black Widow, Ms. Marvel, etc. and make them their own – distinct from their friends' characters."Players can customize each of their Hero’s Gear, Skills, and choose from a diverse array of Outfits, all of which creates a personal experience." Hughes said. "For instance, one player might play Thor as an AOE damage dealer controlling the crowd, but an ally could build him up primarily focused on melee tactics. It is critical that we deliver the true feeling of being each unique Super Hero — it’s the Avengers after all!"Following the tragic events of "A-Day," Advanced Idea Mechanics has stepped up and believes in a world that is focused on science – as Super Heroes are dangerous if left unchecked and, "they could wreak more havoc than good."“AIM, or Advanced Idea Mechanics, rises from the ashes of ‘A-Day,’ when many people were affected by the Terrigen mist from the reactor explosion. AIM feels that those affected must be cured,” Hughes said. “A growing public sentiment is shaped that Super Heroes are dangerous and if left unchecked, they could wreak more havoc than good. AIM wants to define mankind’s future with reason, with logic. They believe in science, not Super Heroes, and that this devout purity to science will make the world a safer, stronger place; which also means Super Heroes can’t be left to roam freely."AIM utilizes an AI force to, "protect the rest of us against super-powered individuals while claiming to research a cure for those affected by A-Day."“Having 80 years of history to draw from, we’ve recreated classic AIM characters from the comic books through the Crystal Dynamics lens, such as the Keeper (our version of the iconic AIM Beekeeper), our version of the Synthoid, or the all new Monotronic Exo; this is how AIM stands toe-to-toe as humans versus Super Heroes. Hughes explained. "And this is just the start. However… AIM’s pursuit of a technocratic utopia, if left unchecked, could unleash an even greater threat to the world that only the Avengers could stop. It’s up to players to unravel the AIM conspiracy, reassemble the Avengers, and save the Earth.”With all Super Heroes outlawed, an Avengers fangirl from New Jersey named Kamala Khan chooses to step up to prove our Heroes' innocence and "become what she is destined to be." She will be the spark that will help rebuild the Avengers.Throughout Marvel's Avengers, you will also be establishing and upgrading a base of operations out of a decommissioned heli-carrier.Marvel's Avengers will release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC on May 15, 2020, and on or after that date on Google Stadia.
