  • Marvel's Avengers is an upcoming action game from Square Enix.

  • The title features single-player and co-op missions.
  • You can preorder Avengers for $50 through Amazon.

Marvel's Avengers is an upcoming game from Square Enix, but the reveal didn't go as smoothly as the company anticipated. Many people criticized the look of the characters and how there wasn't a lot of information available. Luckily, the team revealed a new tidbit today.

There are two types of missions available. "Hero Missions" are single-player and part of the campaign. "Warzone Missions" can be played alone or with a group of up to four players. It's great that the team made the distinction because there was a lot of confusion about this.

The Avengers game takes place after a horrific event leaves San Francisco in ruins. The team has been disbanded for five years, but when an even bigger evil threatens the planet, it's up to you to assemble the crew and save the world once.
