Tomb Raider developer Crystal Dynamics has delayed its big new Marvel’s Avengers game from May until September.
Previously set for 15th May, it will now arrive on 4th September.
It’s a significant delay – well clear of Cyberpunk 2077 and much closer to the launch of this year’s new consoles.
But it’s not a huge surprise. Out of all the big games announced last year, Marvel’s Avengers had the roughest ride. Revealed at E3 2019 to a decidedly mixed reception, the game drew fire for its confusing sounding mix of single-player and online elements. There was criticism, too, of how the game looked, and how the demo level brought to the show failed to live up to expectations.
