There have been rumours of a Marvel's Avengers game gound round since as early as 2017, so it's fair to say it's been a long time coming.

The hype around the Marvel-inspired game is at an all-time high, and now there's a gameplay trailer, featuring new footage from co-op missions.

Here's everything you need to know about Marvel's Avengers game.

Release date

At the E3 2019 showcase, it was revealed that the Marvel's Avengers was going to hit PC, Stadia, Xbox One and PS4 on 15 May 2020.

This has now been delayed, with the new release date being September 4, 2020.

PS4 owners will also be getting soon-to-be-revealed exclusive content, including early beta access to the game. 

New gameplay trailer

Marvel's Avengers won't arrive for another six months, but Crystal Dynamics have gradually released details on the game's features, including customisable abilities, unlockable gear and progression systems.

NEW CHARACTER: Kamala Khan as Ms. Marvel evades an attack in the new trailer

However, the new trailer has provided us with a better understanding of the combat mechanics and how the co-op missions work.

Ms. Marvel, who was only introduced as a playable character earlier this month at New York Comic-Con, attempts to reunite the Avengers five years after they were blamed for the destruction of San Francisco.

Once you finish the opening battle on 'A-Day', you can hop straight into multiplayer game modes, or stick with the campaign to follow the narrative.

An original storyline

At Square Enix’s conference, gamers finally got their first good look at a series of cinematic trailers and gameplay snippets.

A universe to explore for years to come

The most exciting statement from the January 2017 announcement trailer was that this project is the start of a “multi-year, multi-partnership,” deal and will establish a universe that “gamers can play in for years to come."
