Last week, Square Enix shared some interesting stats about the beta across all three platforms. 28.5 million hours of gameplay was recorded and players killed over 3.5 billion enemies over the three beta weekends.
We don’t how well the beta’s popularity will carry over to the main game. Marvel’s Avengers is already out for certain gamers who pre-ordered the Deluxe, and Collector’s Edition of the game. The official launch is on 4 September 2020 for everyone else. It will be interesting to see how the game grows over the next few months with new heroes and missions. Crystal Dynamics already announced three new heroes including Hawkeye, the PlayStation exclusive hero Spider-Man, and Kate Bishop. Of which Kate arrives next month followed by Hawkeye.
Earlier this week a special end-game War Table took place detailing the game’s end-game grind. Catch up on it down below.
