Marvel's Avengers is a singleplayer and multiplayer third-person ARPG game in the Marvel series.
After two-and-a-half years of support, on March 31, 2023, the game received its last major update, containing balance changes, credits will no longer be purchasable and every single Marketplace item will become available for free for all players and more.[1] On September 30, 2023 the game will be delisted and all support for it gets dropped; the developers promised that they are making changes to allow the singleplayer and multiplayer to stay available after this date as long as possible, but also indicated that "after September 30, 2023 we can’t guarantee that we will be able to address issues that occur due to unforeseen circumstances."[2]
