Marvel has revealed more information about The Avengers Project, a game that will bring “top industry talent” together, to create an all-new superhero experience.
The Square Enix and Marvel collaboration has the Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal development studios working side by side. Joining them, as recently announced by Marvel, will be Shaun Escayg (former Naughty Dog creative director), and Stephen Barry (former EA and Visceral Games veteran).
