E3 2019 gave us our first look at the Crystal Dynamics/Marvel collaboration in motion. Marvel’s Avengers will take iconic moments from the film franchise and translate them into video game form — but Square Enix says the title will have a wholly original story. The title will work under the games-as-service model, with new Avengers coming as DLC in the future. You’ll be able to play in online co-op with up to three friends. You can read more here.

Oh hey, this game actually has a release date now: March 3, 2020. The latest gameplay looks solid, although there do seem to be some changes that go beyond a combat overhaul. This footage also shows off Tifa, who we hadn’t seen before under this engine. Neat. Also: There’s enough content to fill two Blu-ray discs, Square Enix says. The first disc will take place entirely in Midgar.

Outriders

People Can Fly — you might know them as the folks behind Bulletstorm — showed off its next first-person shooter, which is a sci-fi title where players must find out the truth about a mysterious signal. The developers are calling this co-op shooter their biggest game yet.
