Marvel's Avengers to be Delisted in September as Development Comes to an End
A little more than two years after its original release, Crystal Dynamics is preparing to end active development on Marvel's Avengers.
According to a blog titled "Final Update on the Future of Marvel's Avengers," support will discontinue on September 30, after which digital purchases will no longer be available. All solo content will continue to be playable after support ends, and multiplayer will also remain available.

Crystal Dynamics does not plan to release any new stories, features, or Heroes, making Update 2.7 — which added the Winter Soldier and the Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat — the final content release for Avengers. Spider-Man will remain a PlayStation exclusive.
The final balance update will be Update 2.8, which will be released March 31. Crystal Dynamics does not plan to release any new stories, features, or Heroes. Afterward, Crystal Dynamics says it will turn off the cosmetics marketplace and credits will no longer be purchasable. Credits balances will be converted into in-game resources, and all cosmetics will be made available for free.
"We know this is disappointing news as everyone in our community has such a connection to these characters and their stories," Crystal Dynamics wrote. "We're so, so grateful that you came on this adventure with us. Your excitement for Marvel's Avengers — from your epic Photo Mode shots, to your threads theorizing who our next Heroes would be, to your Twitch streams — has played a large part in bringing this game to life."
