I'll be shocked if there's more characters after Spider-Man, the game's been hemorrhaging players since launch.
"Mighty Thor" Jane Foster is the next hero, in this game that just refuses to die.

The fact they're releasing a character that will probably play the exact same as an existing character, who is from a film that just got a recently released trailer, and apparently will have no story content means they're just filling out contractual obligations at this point, huh?

Not shocked that they would pick someone incredibly similar to one of the base game characters.

For the incredibly low population the game has, there's no chance in hell they'd pick someone unique like one of the Mutants.
 
These additions suck, they are just female version of character who already exists, and it's been that way since the very start with Kate Bishop.
What do you expect when the game can barely wrangle a couple thousand players at a time on all platforms? No, derivative characters (how appropriate that this game demonstrates that more honestly than the comics & movies) are going to be the way until the game gets taken off life support, and frankly new characters would probably be as half assed as Spider-Man was anyway.

Surprised Disney approved this TBH, although for "some reason" I suspect they will be the best selling skins by about 20 landslides.
 
In addition to the general new lackluster content, their lead designer Brian Waggoner was outed as a racist transphobe and Trump voter. Yes, digging up old tweets got him cancelled.

Crystal Dynamics (the studio behind this game) issued an apology and subsequently had Waggoner removed as their spokesperson for the game.

Outlook is not very good or certain for the future despite the new character addition, leading most to speculate that if anything new comes there is :optimistic: with possibly She-Hulk or Captain Marvel. The overall reaction is that they will just contractually milk it with skins given they still have whales. Who really knows but most speculate that 2023 is its final year.
 
Apparently these are the tweets that necessitated a struggle session:

Brian got to be one of us, right?
wtf brian is based???
You're telling me this guy isn't?

EDIT:
Simply using the word "tranny" yields these tweets:

The aftermath shouldn't come as a surprise because you're only allowed to say "transgendered" and not any of the considered pejoratives because of reflexive re-writing of what's considered offensive in X current year.

Nerco post, but important.

Marvel's Avengers will receive its final update on March 31, 2023. September 30 will be the last day where Marvel's Avengers would be considered a "live service" title. I misread this as Marvel's Avengers shutting its servers down. But, it will be delisted on September 30th.

AND the blog post is inaccessible as of now. WOW, can't even get that right.
 
I wonder if Spider-Man will remain exclusive to the PS4/5.
 
What the shit happened to Square Enix? They were fucking unstoppable during the Ps2 era and fast forward a decade and they've just had flop after flop, after flop, after, flop. Even Final Fantasy their flagship franchise has only had one good entry in twelve years and that was a fucking remake of an older game.

(I don't count the MMO stuff because those are basically spinoffs done by external studios)
