Marvel’s Avengers wants to have its cake and eat it, which means lots of work for Crystal Dynamics and its half-dozen or so development partners. Despite looking like it leans heavily on co-op, the release actually has a full, bespoke single player campaign. Parts of this will see you bouncing between the game’s five heroes, while others will focus on specific characters and their unique gameplay abilities.
“As you go through that bespoke campaign, there will be missions that are tailored for certain heroes,” Crystal Dynamics studio head Scot Amos told Game Informer. “They all string together in a full arc, but you’re effectively unlocking those heroes.”
Of course, the title will also have co-op missions, but you’ll be able to play these solo if you prefer. “All that content, that's out there for co-op is also playable single player,” Amos added. “We have made this massive world where we’re going to keep adding more missions and more regions and more superheroes. I can play 99 per cent of that single player, but there are also pieces that we encourage you to go play in multiplayer, and that actually do further the story.”
You’ll be able to bounce between solo and multiplayer as you please, and you’ll be levelling up characters and unlocking new skills as you go. It’s unclear if you’ll be able to, for example, complete missions with a group of Hulks or Iron Men – we’re going to guess that if you’re playing co-op each participant will have to assume a unique role. But you’ll be able to customise your character as you please, with different gear and cosmetics teased.

That’s a relief, I can’t remember the last time I played PS4 online with friends. I’m more of a local multiplayer person so single player suits me fine as long as it doesn’t impact too much on the experience.
I don't know. I've been trying to get excited for this but it just looks so meh and without any personality unlike insomniac's spider man. Maybe instead of a team up game marvel should've tried another singular hero adventure. Well let's hope I am wrong.
When's Spider-Man 2 coming? This looks decent but I didn't get the same feeling as when I first saw Insomniacs first reveal. I don't think it helps that they stuck pretty closely to the look of the films but with different people in the costumes. I'll still be playing Final Fantasy VII and Cyberpunk by the time this rolls out so it'll have to be something special to divert my attention
I have the feeling the studio and publisher aren't very confident in what they put together. All feels like a sales pitch of grand ideas with little to back it up... Cough, destiny, division, anthem, cough
The fact that they want to reiterate this makes me worried even more lol.
Stick to single player. At first, I was worried about the graphics but they look more or less similar to spider man when it was revealed in 2016. So maybe the graphics will improve as the game is developed. I don't agree with making it an online game. It should be single player with a co-op mode. Single player games don't need multiplayer missions.
That one percent you can’t is why I won’t be playing
Still sounds a LOT like Destiny but instead of unlocking different sub-classes, you unlock a different Avenger... Will the co-op just be the same 'story' missions with different difficulty options, strikes and 'raids' for end-game veterans??
Is it always online though?
I’m glad to learn that the great majority of the game is playable in single player mode. I think that’s good news for a lot of people, self included. Problem is, I’m just not very excited for this so far, despite really enjoying a lot of the MCU movies. Maybe that’ll change as more is revealed. In my mind, Spider Man really set the bar high for super hero games. It’ll be a challenge to match that level of quality.
sounds good to me I prefer Single Player 👍
