When it was announced thatSquare Enix and Marvel were teaming upto deliver a newAvengersgame, commonly referred to asThe Avengers Project,fans of the longstanding comic franchise were ecstatic to say the least. Currently, very little is known about the project, but new rumors indicate that it could, in fact, be a reboot of theUltimate Alliancevideo games.
These rumors also suggest that a catastrophic event results in the separation of the heroes, without yet anotherCivil Warplot taking place. Many thought that the teaser trailer (depicted below) suggested aCivil War-inspired story, but this rumor indicates that #REASSEMBLE means a reunification of the team following said event duringThe Avengers Project. However, that’s not to say the story wouldn’t follow a comic run altogether, just notCivil War.
Moreover, the story is supposedly focusing on Captain America, Iron Man, and Scarlet Witch. While other heroes could be playable in anUltimate Alliancestyle, these three characters supposedly drive the story forward, and this rumor is seemingly supported by the voice of Scarlet Witch in the trailer that released some time ago.
Of course, until there is some form of official confirmation from Square Enix or Marvel, these rumors should be taken with a healthy grain of salt. It would be hard-pressed to either prove or disprove these rumors, as they are seemingly supported by the teaser. While many may believe that Square Enix is focusing onKingdom Hearts 3releasing this year, it would be surprising not to hear something new aboutThe Avengers Project.
After all,Square Enix is hosting an E3 conferencethis year, which may very well focus on bothKingdom Hearts 3andThe Avengers Project.For those interested in checking out Square Enix’s conference, it will be taking place Monday, June 11, beginning at 10 am PST, 1 pm EST, 6 pm BST, and 7 pm CEST. It’s worth noting, however, thatThe Avengers Projectisn’t confirmed to be there. Hopefully, though, something will be learned then.
