With developer Crystal Dynamics announcing back in January that Marvel's Avengers will be receiving its final patch in March, that day is finally here. Update 2.8 has rolled out today across all platforms, unlocking all cosmetic items in the game's Marketplace.
As previously announced, no further heroes will be coming to Marvel's Avengers, and official support for the game will come to an end on 30th September 2023, just over three years on from its release. With the release of Update 2.8, all Outfits, Emotes, Takedown animations, and Nameplates are available to all players.
Any items earned via campaign progression still need to be bought from the in-game Cosmetic Vendor at an of the Avengers' hubs. Shipments and Hero Challenge Cards have also been removed, and anyone who has unlocked an achievement prior to 1st April will be granted a Founder's Gift as a thank you - this includes Iron Man's Variable Threat Response Battle Suit.
Any Credits attached to your account will be converted into resources - Upgrade Modules, Units, Polychoron, Fragments, and DNA Keys - while a selection of bug fixes, improvements to combat, and other gameplay changes have also been introduced with the game's final patch. You can consult the full patch notes here for a complete rundown.
Update 2.8 unlocks nearly all Marketplace items for free, in addition to adding final buffs that will make Heroes feel more powerful as you continue to enjoy Marvel's Avengers in the future!
