Marvel’s Avengers: How Crystal Dynamics assembled a dev super-team

In Marvel’s Avengers, the heroes must work together to overcome one of their toughest challenges yet. But in real life, developer Crystal Dynamics had to assemble its own super-team of studios just to make its triple-A action game.

Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on May 15, Marvel’s Avengers has the team’s core members — Captain America, Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, and Thor — dealing with the aftermath of A-Day, an Avengers ceremony-turned-disaster when an explosion decimates San Francisco. You’ll play as all five heroes in the single-player campaign and take them on new adventures in the cooperative multiplayer mode.
