Square Enix confirms that the Avengers game is delayed several months to finish polishing it and be up to par, as with FFVII Remake.
Avengers, meet! Square Enix has summoned the heroes of Marvel to give them sad news. His next video game adaptation, Marvel's Avengers, is delayed for several months and will not be released on May 15, 2020, as planned. Instead, the title will arrive last summer. Specifically, on September 4, 2020. The news has been communicated by Crsytal Dynamics on its official website, where it has explained the reasons that led to this decision:
“When we set out to show you our vision of The Avengers, we promised to offer a campaign with an original story, an attractive cooperative mode and enough content to cover the coming years. To that end, we will spend this additional development time focused on tuning and polishing the game according to the high quality standards that our fans expect and deserve. We apologize for the delay. We hope that the wait will be worth it. ”

Does the delay of Final Fantay VII Remake affect?
It is impossible not to relate this delay to that suffered by another of the Square Enix games. Neither more nor less than Final Fantasy VII Remake, which will end up coming out on April 10, 2020. Was the developer really going to allow her two great assets for this year to come out in consecutive months? It does not look. With this delay "on the other side of the summer," Marvel's Avengers gets rid of fighting, in addition to Cloud and company, with Resident Evil 3 Remake (April 3, 2020), Cyberpunk 2077 (whose release is set on April 16, 2020) and The Last of Us: Part 2 (May 29, 2020). Heavy weights that insurance has looked sideways when making the decision.
Its prequel, in March
What keeps its release date is the novel that will serve as a prequel to the game's history. It will be called Marvel's Avengers: The Extinction Key, it will be released on March 31 and will be written by Gregory Keyes, an American bestselling writer who has already interned more than once in the lore of universes such as Star Wars and Babylon 5, or in video games like The Elder Scrolls and XCOM. This novel will finish putting us in a situation and will add to the line of comics based on the game, which have been published since last September.
