Gameplay is a hybrid melee and shooting game, says Therien.

Melee combat sequences appeared to be fairly standard third-person action with some added Avengers flair.

Some levels are designed for specific Avengers, but others let the player choose.

Even in the context of single hero, Therien teases some degree of choice.

Youll be able to pick the skills that you like, Therien says.

So you might play your Captain America differently than mine.

The game will cover plenty of ground the MCU has never touched.

Eventually, the game could host team-ups that have only happened on the page, if at all.

Adds Hunt, Were certainly going to have some villains that youve only seen in the comic books before.

New heroes and regions will be added at no additional cost.

All of these additions will come at no additional cost to players who own the game.

Were going to be expanding this roster for years to come, says Hunt.

The game will be balanced to let every hero stand out in co-op play.

So putting all that together, [balancing for co-op play] couldnt just be numbers, Therien says.
