Marvel's Avengers Campaign Length Revealed

Comicbook.com writes: "Fans can't wait to get their hands on Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix's Marvel's Avengers, and once they do they'll find plenty of content to keep them busy thanks to a full campaign and an ever-growing series of multiplayer missions. ComicBook.com had the chance to speak with Crystal Dynamics Senior Brand Director Rich Briggs about how long the game will be for players diving in, and while it will vary depending on your choices, we did get a ballpark idea of how much time you'll be spending in the Avengers world before more content is released, and it's a format Tomb Raider fans will recognize."

10-12hrs for campaign, maybe up to 30 finding all the collectibles and doing all challenges.

CobraKai1701d ago

Sounds enticing to me. I don’t have the time for 40+hour games anymore.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1701d ago

Were people actually expecting an Uncharted like singleplayer focused game? The Avengers which is about Multiple superheores doing things in co-op..... Basically what multiplayer is... Some here expecting Spiderman/Batman type singleplayer experience lol it's unrealistic.

Can you name another game with Multiple fleshed out Playable superheroes which is singleplayer focused?

I can only recall Marvel Ultimate Alliance and thats multiplayer focused. Other is Marvel vs Capcom again multiplayer focused really.

INMATEofARKHAM1701d ago

No, Ultimate Marvel Alliance wasn't MP focused. You could play in MP but certainly didn't have to.

Anyhow, Marvel Heroes (the Diablo like RPG that was on PC) offered about 20 hour campaign and over 50 characters to chose from.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

@inmate

Marvel heroes? Isn’t that an MMO???

Lool just googled it is an online mmo lool so you just made your point using an massively multiplayer online game hahaha well done.

INMATEofARKHAM1700d ago

Yeah, real "massive" when it was 5 people max... and not at any point required. It also had a raid, which was like ten people.

Anyhow, don't ever contact me again... The agression way in which you went to get my attention is more than a bit scary. Try checking your fandom.

VenomCarnage891701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

@UnSelf It was so short that she stayed quiet the entire time

4kgk761701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

That really short especially compare to spider man ps4 which was roughly 20 hours plus. I think I buy this game when it go on sale.

Thunder_G0d_Bane1701d ago

Lol if you thought a game based on multiple super heroes would be single player focused you had the wrong idea from the start.

This could have only been a multiplayer game an it couldn’t be anything like Spider-Man or batman who’s just one hero you have to focus on.

A2X_1701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

That makes no sense at all.

Nyxus1701d ago

A singleplayer game can't focus on multiple characters?

Strange991701d ago

That was really special

rainslacker1701d ago

Or....have multiple playthroughs with different characters, with varying story elements for each? Or, have multiple characters in a team in the SP campaign?

I dunno, that's two off the top of my head.

Cmoney0071701d ago

Did you pre-order it? Lol

Well isn't it designed to be like Destiny. Destiny had what, 8-10 hours of campaign and everything else was endgame content. Now it's a question of whether or not Avengers will have enough content post campaign or if that is all it has to offer

cloganart1701d ago

Since the beginning they said that they wanted this game to be played for years to come so that puts emphasis on the endgame content

rainslacker1701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

End game content to me sounds like MP content, which I don't care about. Things like Borderlands you can overlevel to still experience that content, but I don't like games that kind of force you to log in to play with others to advance, and if end game is designed around MP, then it's not SP content, and it's rare the story content is often pretty weak.

cloganart1701d ago

You can easily do the main storyline in Spiderman PS4 less than eight hours

NecrumOddBoy1701d ago

My total time from start to platinum for Spider-Man was 47 Hours.

Batnut001701d ago

I’m alright with this, especially since they’re adding more in the future anyway.

CrimsonWing691701d ago

So it took this long for a campaign this short? Were you guys pulling a BioWare and couldn’t figure out how to make the game or what to make it?

I think maybe publishers/devs shouldn’t announce a game until they actually have a vertical slice. I was really hoping that this would be something amazing but it sounds more and more depressing.

EmperorDalek1701d ago (Edited 1701d ago )

I'd prefer a good 10-12 hour game to a dragged out, boring 30+ hour game. Plenty of great single player games are even shorter than this.

That's just for the main missions too, according to this it's at least double the length if you do everything. It sounds like it has a big focus on multiplayer too... so it should have plenty of content.

It's just complaining for the sake of complaining to have a real issue with this.

CrimsonWing691701d ago

Complaining for the sake of complaining isn’t accurate.

This is a AAA game that’s been in development for a long time. I think it’s not out of the realm of reason to have hoped that this would have a longer single player campaign. There’s plenty of fantastic single player games that are longer than this and have been in development for a shorter period of time.

You may be fine with a short game and you’re allowed to, but judging by a lot of the responses here there’s a lot of people that expected more and there’s nothing unreasonable with having wanted that.

I’m so ready for Suicide Squad to fill the Avengers void in my life

Marvel’s Avengers didn’t soar properly on PS5 and Xbox, but Kill the Justice League looks like it will improve on it in every way.

I can’t work out if this guy is just being sarcastic

Leeroyw129d ago

This website pumps out one shill article after the other. Does not qualify as journalism.

ShwaaMan129d ago

Said the guy who just got a big check from WB.

YourMommySpoils129d ago

Does that mean it will have a thousand pointless costumes like Avengers did, not related to the game or source?

I'll be checking it out on day one of release.

Why Have Many of the Online Multiplayer Games of the Past Five Years Failed?

Here's a look at why so many online-multiplayer games from the past five years have struggled to retain players and their attention.

ChasterMies231d ago

Or put another way, why don’t people want to invest in an on-line storefront?

sparky77231d ago

It's simply FOMO.

Gamers always go back to their staples like COD or Fortnite. Those games have constant content and leaving them for another game means getting left behind. Why start a new game and be behind when you can stay with a game you already excel at.

Number1TailzFan231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

COD is replaced every year or almost every year, it has no time to hold a player base. 3-4 years is a good timeline for a sequel IMO if the game has enough content to begin with, maybe add a couple of free content updates a bit later after release if needed, and job done until the next game.

Soldier of Fortune 2 was one of my first few online FPS games apart from RTCW and a couple of others, and that had a couple of free patches which added in new weapons, maps and a new game mode in just a year or so. I hope the series makes a comeback, I heard MS owns it now and it has been dormant for a while.

The only sequel that came fast (just 1 year later) that impressed me with extra content over the original was L4D2, makes me wonder what happened with Valve. If they can do that in one year then what have they been doing since..

-Foxtrot231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

Because it's not about putting out a fully completed game packed with content and something that actually works

It's about putting something out broken and barebones, slowly drip feed content with a roadmap and offering tons of MTs which they hope people will buy.

I miss when you'd just get games like Killzone or Halo and they'd get a couple of DLC packs then the developers would move onto the next game. Problem is they started to be influenced by COD where future games had to have gimmicks, weapon mods, loadouts, killstreaks and other shit which just become about what you had unlocked rather than skill.

The last multiplayer game I really enjoyed was Uncharted 2s, it was literally just two boosters and everyone started with the same weapons. It was great and felt like it was more about skill but then we got Uncharted 3 and 4 where the COD influence creeped in thinking that everything had to be bigger rather than sticking to the fanbase they had.

Nitrowolf2231d ago

i agree. i used to love MP games for these titles, and be excited about the map packs and such. now it's we will release one mode and one map, and see how people take to the game. Flops? cool move on.

isarai231d ago

Even before the PS3 generation ended, I was already longing for a return to simplistic MP without all the XP, booster, perks, and ridiculous custom loadouts full of op exploitation. Like there's definitely a huge audience for that, but there's NO classic style simple MP modes anymore, I'm just asking for some

ZeekQuattro231d ago

Most people don't have the time to invest into playing multiple GAAS and stick to just one. It also doesn't help that so many games in that field only have a roadmap laid out for the first month or so. Hard to keep people invested when you don't give them a reason to stick around after the initial launch month.

excaliburps231d ago

Yep. I know what you mean. I can't play more than 1-2 live service games at a time (this includes shooters) since it's just so overwhelming.

shinoff2183231d ago (Edited 231d ago )

My theory , well online gaming just sucks, so many online games recently that if done the right way could've been dope ass single player games. One that comes to mind evil dead. What a waste of the title
