Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have revealed more details on Marvel’s Avengers gear, cosmetics, vendors, marketplace, and the premium Hero Challenge Cards, which will cost $10 for each free, post-launch character.
This explainer on Gear and Cosmeticsbegan by reiterating that all future updates - including new characters, story content, missions, and regions - will be available for free for all players.
Furthermore, while there will be cosmetic content that will be purchasable with real money, it will be aesthetic-only and will not impact gameplay in any way.
Marvel Avenger’s Hero Challenge Cards and Marketplace
One of the biggest ways to earn a ton of cosmetics is through the Hero Challenge Cards. Each card has 40 tiers of free and premium rewards that are earned by Challenge Points gained from completing daily and weekly challenges.
The premium Hero Challenge Card rewards for all six starting heroes - Iron Man, Kamala Khan, Hulk, Thor, Captain America, and Black Widow - will be activated for free for all who own Marvel’s Avengers.
All post-launch character’s premium Hero Challenge Cards, however, will cost $10 (1,000 credits) to activate. Although, if you complete the entire card, you will earn back your 1,000 Credit activation cost and earn over 12,500 Credits worth of content.
This means that post-launch character’s like Clint Barton’s Hawkeye and Spider-Man - who is PS4 exclusive - will be free for all players, and only extra cosmetics and their premium Hero Challenge Card will cost real-world money.
Marvel’s Avengers will also feature a Marketplace that will feature “purchasable cosmetics in the form of Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates.” Credits will also be required to purchase these items, and a 500 credit pack will cost you $5.00. Credits will come in packs of 500, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000, with bonus credits rewarded for the bigger packs.
Cosmetics and Vendors
Cosmetic items come in four different varieties - Outfits, Emotes, Takedowns, and Nameplates - and many can be earned, crafted, or purchased from vendors.
Vendors are narrative-based store operators who set up shop around Marvel’s Avengers game world. They will sell Cosmetics, Gear, and Rare Resources in exchange for Units and common Resources.
Speaking of Resources, these can be found in-game and will allow you to upgrade your gear. Patterns can also be earned through play and can be used at Fabrication Machines to create an Outfit or Nameplate. Lastly, Units are Marvel’s Avengers “soft-currency”, which means it is in-game digital currency that has no real-world value and can be found in strongboxes or as rewards for increasing your Faction Level.
Gear Vendors will sell you character-specific Gear and Resources in exchange for Fragments, which can be earned by collecting and dismantling Gear. Gear choices will rotate daily and weekly.
Cosmetic Vendors will take Units from the player in exchange for Outfits, Emotes, and Nameplates. Legendary Outfits will rotate weekly, while Nameplates, Emotes, and Epic & Rare Outfits rotate daily.
Marvel’s Avengers will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia on September 4, 2020. PS5 and Xbox Series X versions will also be released later this year.

How’s that even possible? How can a machine even do that?

I was wondering how they were going to milk this game besides the cosmetics. That is actually way worst then I thought with individual character battle passes.
The hype kind of died down a bit for me once the first PC demo hit!!
So much jank and glitches…I may just go ahead and refund that version, and just stick to the PS4 copy.
They accidentally put the handle inside?
How do you messed that one up?

Pretty sure they were saying Avengers was gonna be a live service game from the start. $10 per character is pretty damn steep but, I also didn’t expect them all to be unlockable for free, so that’s neat.
I enjoyed the beta. Hulk, Widow and Iron Man were a ton of fun and I know I’ll want some of the heroes they release down the line, so I’ll probably get the game when it drops.

TBH, i see 0 problem with that monetization scheme.
A little pricy? Maybe.
Would be preferable to pay once per season and have access to season pass for all chars, true.
But i think that is almost fair.
You are not gambling your money away on lootboxes, you know exactly what you are getting and you can just focus on the char/s you want.
And outside of the cosmetic things on the pass, everything will be free of charge.
With how they said it will cost an amount of credits, and how you get them back, the phrasing almost made it sound that after an initial real money investment, you could unlock other paid tierss with those credits.
I could be wrong on that, but if it is the case, i think is not bad at all.
Plus, there is always the chance that any cosmetic that you dont get via the season pass will be available on the shop at later date to be bought directly.
Saying that, i was never really interested on the game, and after the betas i say i am not impressed, since it has a lot of technical issues.
And the gameplay is not really satisfying for me, at least what it was shown.
Now all games want me to treat them as a second job, and after 3 years of Destiny 1, i want to be free to play as i see fit without worrying of doing dailies, weeklies, etc
Edit.
Related but kind of a tangent.
Dunno what is it with many games charging for stuff in ways that actually ensure that people will be less likely to purchase them.
See for example Apex.
Where some dev complained that people didnt buy enough mtx for the skins.
Keep in mind is a FPS, which means you dont see the skin, and the “cool” ones can cost up to $20 .
For that amount of money i can get games on sale, indies, season passes for games that will offfer characters for the game, etc.
I would love to support Respawn, even if dont play Apex that frequently, but that price is too much to ask for somethi while playing.ng i cant even appreciate

Still playing it…I solo’d it long ago and I’ll solo it again. I play online MP to help others and score some random artifacts but I’m fine with my purchase.
It is a game that definitely shows its age but I don’t regret my purchase. After playing with it for the weekend, I would like to see a new CC game that takes the aesthetics of this game and expand on it.

Touching back on the discussion about next gen TV/displays and what the consoles will be capable of, here’s an informative video. Regardless of what specs the consoles advertise, most people probably don’t have a display that can handle it anyway, and most likely won’t for a while.
There is an annoying sponsor ad at the beginning, but you can jump to the actual video at about the 2 minute mark.
