in

After a ton of speculation, the first trailer for Marvel’s Avengers arrived during Square Enix’s E3 press conference.

In the game, the Avengers disband following the death of one of their own. Five years later, however, they have to regroup to take down the biggest threat possible. While it may not feature the cast of the movie lending their voices, fans will recognize some familiar voices. Troy Baker (Hulk), Jeff Schine (Captain America), Travis Willingham (Thor), Laura Bailey (Black Widow), and Nolan North (Iron Man) will lend their voices.

The game, which was originally known as The Avengers Project, was announced back in 2017. Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal are developing this game.

Unlike most games, Marvel’s Avengers won’t feature any loot boxes, and every additional character can be downloaded for free.

Marvel’s Avengers is set to drop on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC on May 15, 2020. PlayStation 4 owners will get the first dibs on an early beta. This is the first of a multi game partnership between Square Enix and Marvel Entertainment. Pre-orders for the upcoming game are now live.
