A

first person Avengers action game was planned by THQ Studio Australia to coincide with the release of the first live-action movie in 2012. The game would have featured Iron Man, Captain America, the Hulk, and Thor as the main characters, with Black Widow, Hawkeye, War Machine, and Ms. Marvel appearing as unlockable characters. The story, loosely based on Secret Invasion rather than the movie, was penned by veteran comic writer Brian Michael Bendis. Though a fair amount of progress was made on the game, it was ultimately canceled after THQ Studio Australia was closed down.[36][37] In late January 2017, Marvel announced a joint partnership with Square Enix
for a multi-game project, starting with a game based on the Avengers, with more information to be revealed in 2018.

Marvel's Avengers and the game will have a worldwide reveal at Square Enix's panel at E3 2019
. The game will feature single player, and online multiplayer, with an evergrowing roster. All extra regions and characters will be free downloadable content.
