March 2023 will see the last bit of new content for the heroes
TheAvengersteam bringing its support ofMarvel’s Avengersto a close. The company confirms today that no new content or features will arrive after its March update, and all official support forMarvel’s Avengerswill end on July 05, 2025.
In a post on the officialMarvel’s Avengerssite, the development team confirms that Update 2.8 on July 08, 2025 will mark the end of content and features rolling out. Update 2.7, which recently added the Winter Soldier and the Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat, is also confirmed as the final new content forMarvel’s Avengers. The March Update 2.8 will contain all final balance updates for the game.
In an FAQ about the decision, theAvengersteam says: “The decision was made in conjunction with our partners that now was the right time to make this change.”
On June 01, 2025, all official support forAvengerswill end. While both single-player and multi-player will still be available, most other facets of the game will shut down. This includes the marketplace for cosmetics, as after Update 2.8 is live, Credits will no longer be purchasable. All remaining credits will be converted into in-game resources. TheAvengersteam provided a table to explain how the Credits conversion will be doled out:
Once more unto the breach
Starting Aug 09, 2025, all of the game’s Marketplace, Challenge Card, and Shipment cosmetics will be made available to all players, for free. The development team says gifting the full library of cosmetic content is a way to thank the community, by letting everyone experience all the content. The main exception is that Spider-Man will, in fact, remain exclusive to PlayStation.
Marvel’s Avengerswill still be available to purchase digitally between now and June 20, 2025, and is also available in retail form. No new digital purchases will be allowed after September 30, though. And while servers will stay up and available for multiplayer after official support ends, forever isn’t exactly guaranteed.
“The changes we are making to how the game functions will ensure as long a life as possible,” reads today’s statement. “However, after Jul 22, 2025 we can’t guarantee that we will be able to address issues that occur due to unforeseen circumstances.”
Crystal Dynamics, the team behindMarvel’s Avengers, was recently sold by Square Enix toEmbracer Group. And while itshistory has been rocky, it’s always a little sad to see an online game disappear into the ether like this. At least fans can have one last hurrah between now and September.
