Marvel's Avengers may not have much of a future following the recent Square Enix deal.
✖ Marvel's Avengers' future appears to be in doubt following a deal where Square Enix sold developers like Crystal Dynamics to Embracer Group. Marvel's Avengers has had an uphill battle since it was revealed. The game received some backlash due to the designs of the characters and the idea of it being a live-service title, as most people feared this structure could harm the potential for the first proper AAA outing for the Avengers.
Due to the deal between Square Enix and Embracer, the future is uncertain for games like Marvel's Avengers and Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy. Although the latter is a single-player game, it risks not getting a sequel. The former, however, is in more danger. Although all previously developed games from the acquired studios transfer over to Embracer with this deal, some require additional approval.
"All games that have been developed by the studios are included in the transaction," Wingefors said."However, a number of external approvals are needed from external parties in order to close this transaction. And potentially licensors, as you've mentioned here, could be one of those approvals needed."
A Marvel's Avengers developer recently stated there isn't any roadmap for the game, as they're focused on short-term, smaller updates for the title. It's possible this was done to prepare for the possible acquisition with the team knowing the risk of not being able to deliver on long-term goals if the deal goes through.
