Marvel's Avengers is shutting down – so grab these freebies while you can

techradar.com:

Crystal Dynamics, the developer behind Marvel’s Avengers, has announced it is ending official support for the superhero brawler later this year  But, before support ends, the developer is treating players to a heap of in-game freebies.

In a blog post(opens in new tab), the dev team explained that it will roll out the last balance patches to Marvel’s Avengers in update 2.8, releasing on March 31, with development officially ending on September 30. “After two-and-a-half years and introducing twelve of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, we will no longer add new content or features to Marvel’s Avengers”, said Crystal Dynamics. However, even after official support ends, “both single- and multi-player gameplay will continue to be available”.

The end of development will also signal the end of the Marvel Avengers Marketplace. After update 2.8 launches, you will no longer be able to purchase credits, and Crystal Dynamics will convert all remaining currency into in-game resources. However, you will be able to get some seriously sick freebies. 

As a show of appreciation for Marvel’s Avengers community, Crystal Dynamics will be gifting all the remaining cosmetic content available for free to fans still playing the game. This means every nameplate, emote, outfit and takedown will be yours at no extra cost from March 31.

“Gifting the full library of Marketplace cosmetic content is a way to thank our community by letting everyone experience the breadth and depth of content in Marvel’s Avengers”, the development team said in the blog post. 

There’s also good news for those who still want to earn cosmetic prizes, as the cosmetic vendor will still be in working condition after development comes to an end. Therefore, you’ll still be able to earn skins
