Marvel's Avengers has released its latest paid premium skin collection, and fans aren't impressed.
The premium skin features an “unhelmed” form of Thor, inspired by his original appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, a helmed version of the design was once released last April.
Players can purchase both skins for 1900 credits (lb19) or just the new, unhelmed version for 1400 credits, that amounted to around lb14. Alternatively, if your player already owns the helmed Thor skin, they are able to obtain the unhelmed Thor for 500 credits (lb5).
However many fans are annoyed by the lazy designs and price tags. In December, an unmasked version of Captain America is made available, to visit alongside the helmeted skin that was already obtainable in Marvel's Avengers.
“It’s been over a year. We’ve only gotten 2 heroes which are mashups of already existing ones & 1 lone mission we’re likely to grind as much as the following plateau after which do what exactly? Buy weekly $15 re-skins without fail?! By any metric this is a mobile game,” wrote one fan.
“Jesus, same suit, remove mask, charge $12, you guys are becoming really lazy,” added another. “Cash grab,” wrote another.
Marvel's Avengers was initially released in 2023 and also the following year, Square Enix president Yosuke Matsuda revealed that the title has “not proven as successful once we might have liked”.
“I would also observe that Marvel's Avengers was an ambitious title for all of us in that we took on the GaaS (Games as a Service) model,” he added.
In November 2023, a PlayStation-exclusive Spider-Man DLC was launched, but didn't have a playable narrative component.
In other news, OpTic member and legendary competitive Call Of Duty player Scump has retired from competition earlier than expected – in the middle of what he said would be his final season.
