When Marvel's Avengers' official X account claimed that the April Update 2.8.2 was the game's "final expected patch," it was expected that the end was nigh.

Crystal Dynamics Marvel's Avengers
Towards the end of 2020, massive hype surrounded many AAA-rated games, and this included Marvel's Avengers, a game that was expected to change the way Marvel titles are represented in the gaming industry. The game was developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix, and both are renowned for their previous works, including the Tomb Raider remake trilogy.
Crystal Dynamics held on to the game for years, offering various updates and new content for the world to experience, with the company reaching as many as three years for the game last early September. The last playable character that they added to the game is the Winter Soldier, also known as Captain America's best friend, Bucky Barnes.
It gave the world a massive in-depth experience to become an Avenger, and while the title's intentions were in the right place, there were a lot of lapses that the industry saw, including Square Enix's negative remarks about the game. Marvel's Avengers showed promise, and its developer is proud of the game, but it did not fly off with the public, soon to be delisted from the digital stores.
