Marvel’s Avengers DLC Heroes Will Not Feel Like Reskins

Marvel's Avengers DLC Heroes

It is common to see different skins for characters in games. This is an attempt by the developer to mix things up a bit but gamers do not really buy it. Interesting that is going to be the case when it comes to Marvel’s Avengers DLC Heroes. So far Iron Man, Black Widow, Hulk, Thor, and Captain America have been confirmed for the base game but Marvel’s Avengers DLC Heroes could be released in the future.

Studio head Scott Amos talked about upcoming DLC heroes and he mentioned that they will not feel like reskins. Here is what he had to say regarding the matter:

We want to make sure it feels like, ‘Wow this is who this character should play like. Oh, this is just a reskinned version of X, Y, Z. That wouldn’t be fun for us.

Using skins would be the easier thing to do here but it is nice to see that Crystal Dynamics is willing to put in the work in order to make the Marvel’s Avengers DLC Heroes feel different. Each hero is unique and in order for the game to be a success, each character needs to feel different.

That seems to be what the developer is aiming for. I am sure that the fans will appreciate this if it is done right. Scott Amos went on to mention the following in this regard:

There are so many unique purposes for each different Avenger, we don’t think about them as class and style. We say, ‘What’s great about this hero, what’s great about this character?

Marvel’s Avengers looks great, judging from what we have seen so far and it will be interesting to see what the DLC characters are going to be like when they come out. The game is expected to release on May 15, 2020, so we do have some time before the game comes out. The DLC heroes should come out soon after the release of the base game. Scott Amos did not want to take any names but he did mention the following:

We want it to feel like, I won’t mention a name, but this hero feels like…’Ah that’s the dream that I want for that character, because if it starts feeling like reskins, that’s no fun. But the idea of having tons of skills and their own unique heroics and their own storylines, because remember [new heroes] come with storylines for what they’re doing in this world. So we need to make sure each hero feels unique as each hero, even the ones that add on past launch.

Let us know what you think about Marvel’s Avengers and whether you are interested in playing the game when it comes out.
