《漫威复仇者联盟》尽管首发没有达到预期，但开发商水晶动力一直在努力更新游戏，加入了女雷神，冬兵、蜘蛛侠等多个角色。近日，舅舅党Miller Ross报料，水晶动力计划在2024年停止更新，但在此之前的2023年仍会加入不少新内容。
对《漫威复仇者联盟》最近的更新进行了挖掘后发现了惊奇队长、女浩克、钢铁之心、女黑豹相关的音频，虽然不敢说以上角色一定会加入，但至少女浩克和惊奇队长已经在开发了一段时间。
Ross还爆料，《漫威复仇者联盟》之所以很难提供一个像样的即时服务内容，主要原因在于水晶动力过时和效率低下的Foundation引擎，很多新来的开发者使用起来很不方便。很多售后更新内容都不得不推给SE蒙特利尔，而且经常需要加班加点。
因此，很多人离开了水晶动力或去了其他团队，比如开发新《古墓丽影》或协助微软开发《完美黑暗重启版》的团队。
Before launch, pretty much everyone expected Marvel’s Avengers to be a slam dunk for Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix. Despite the overall popularity of Marvel and launching hot on the heels of Endgame, the game never really managed to pick up success or critical acclaim that the developer and publisher wanted, mostly down to its poor performance at launch and a series of poor decisions after the fact.
It’s been a title on life support for a while now, but it looks like things may be coming to an end next year as Crystal Dynamics is reportedly getting ready to sunset the title at some point in 2023. This is according to a new report from Exputer, written by reliable Marvel’s Avengers insider Miller Ross, which claims the developer has no plans to provide further content for the game in 2024, as it will have just about kept its promise of 3 to 5 years of post-launch support.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term, when a developer “sunsets” a game it means that it will stop providing support for that particular title. Marvel’s Avengers isn’t being shut down just yet, but this report suggest that it’s not going to receive any more content updates or new characters past 2023. It will stop being a live service title at that point, and what you see after the game is sunset is what you get. If the playerbase continues to dwindle after this sunsetting, like it has been doing for a while, it won’t be too long until the game is shut down for good.
There is a silver lining to Ross’ report though, as there is new evidence that Marvel’s Avengers might be getting a farewell to remember. Ross has shared new audio footage from Jane Foster that references several characters currently not in the game, including Captain Marvel, Shuri, Ironheart, and the long-awaited She-Hulk. Crystal Dynamics may not want to provide support for the game for much longer, but at least there’s a slight chance it could go out with a bang rather than a whimper.
