The beleaguered multiplayer superhero action game is allegedly about to close up shop, with all future plans having reportedly been shelved.
A new report talks about Marvel's Avengers' many development issues, and claims there are currently no plans to release content for the game beyond next year.
The high-level endgame activity sees a team of four going up against a resurrected MODOK, and was first spoken of by Crystal Dynamics two years ago.
"I’ve had conversations in the last few weeks that paint a rather grim picture of the future," says known Avengers leaker Miller.
Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier is coming to Marvel's Avengers soon, bringing new missions, abilities, cosmetics, and more.
The deal will "enable further investments into making even greater games based on both established and new IPs," the company says.
Across its bevy of studios, the company intends to release 234 console and PC games in less than four years, of which 25 will be AAA projects.
The developer says over 100,000 people responded to a recently sent out survey that asked about the possibility of a future Legacy of Kain revival.
Embracer Group also confirms that the open world title has "performed in line with management expectations in the quarter."
The mobile-focused studio was acquired by Embracer Group only a few months ago, and unveiled a rebranding less than a month back.
"We wouldn’t acquire the brand of Lord of the Rings if we were just thinking to maximise that potential over the coming year," says CEO Lars Wingefors.
Recently alongside by the Embracer Group, the Canadian studio will be known as Studio Onoma going forward, it's been announced.
A recent survey sent out by Crystal Dynamics wants to know if you'd like to see remakes, remasters, sequels, or a reboot in the franchise.
Saints Row, having launched to middling reviews and sales, has been called a polarising release by Embracer Group CEO Lars Wingefors.
Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that it has officially taken over ownership of Tomb Raider and Legacy of Kain, while Eidos Montreal has done the same for Deus Ex and Thief.
A prominent Avengers leaker suggests that Embracer Group, which has acquired Marvel's Avengers alongside its developer, is working on extending that deal with Marvel.
They form the 12th operating label under the Embracer Group, which now owns Deus Ex, Tomb Raider, Legacy of Kain, and several back-catalog titles.
After issues at Aspyr, one of Saber's Easter European studios is reportedly leading development, as per Bloomberg's Jason Schreier.
Bloomberg's Jason Schreier also feels that a release in 2024 is "wishful thinking unless they pare down the scope of the project."
The publisher considers Volition's reboot of the open world series to be "one of the most important releases in this financial year."
