The final big update for Marvel’s Avengers is live, unlocking hundreds of skins for free

marvel avengers It hit one of its last big milestones today, as it just received its latest major update, which Crystal Dynamics announced back in January. This patch unlocks hundreds of free cosmetics for each character, as well as modifying some of the game’s systems.

While Crystal Dynamics previously said all cosmetics would be free, they recently backtracked on that a bit with a more nuanced statement. Almost all of the cosmetics have been unlocked, the only ones that are not unlocked are items that players always have to unlock through the campaign. This means that everything players have to buy with real money or transit shipments is unlocked, from Marvel Cinematic Universe figures to those in the comics, but those earned through normal play or purchased from a cosmetic vendor will still require work.

However, almost every character has dozens and dozens of costumes to try on, some of which, like Odin’s prehistoric costume, Black Widow’s 2012 The Avengers Brand new suit. The Iron Man’s War Machine armor is also among those new skins, but it’s only for players who have unlocked at least one achievement or trophy (or for those who will unlock one before April 1st).

Credits have been transferred to other resources, as previously explained by Crystal Dynamics. The image above should help players understand conversion rates. Hero Catalysts and Fragment Extractors have been taken out of the game, but players will now have 1.5 permanent multiplayer on shards and experience.

The game is also still being removed from digital storefronts on September 30th, and the servers will still be running for the foreseeable future so players can play alone or in co-op. Minor fixes may be rolled out until then (such as the April 4th hotfix), but the game will mostly be left alone after it’s been deleted. Crystal Dynamics said it “cannot guarantee this [it] It will be able to address issues that occur due to unforeseen circumstances” after September, so bugs that appear after that may not be fixed since the studio will focus fully on the next one.
