THE AVENGERS Console Game Coming To Fruition?
While we've been told announcements were coming soon, a new hint at the chance for Marvel's The Avengers live-action assembly being adapted to console video games has unveiled!
By DCMarvelFreshman - 5/5/2012
As Marvel's The Avengers big screen assembly has gone on to become "one of the greatest superhero movies of all-time", predicted to have the biggest opening box office weekend ever, peculiarly there isn't a tie-in console video game coinciding with the film's release. Of course, there was a game in the making with THQ up until the Australian studio was closed down. But now a hint at another console game has shown itself via Fusible.
"The Avengers video game looks to have a title — Avengers: Battle for Earth. On May 3, 2012, the domain name avengersbattleforearth.com (Whois) was registered through the brand protection company MarkMonitor. The name was registered by Marvel Characters, Inc. and is currently listed on Ubisoft’s nameservers: nic1.ubisoft.com and nic2.ubisoft.com."
Marvel's vice president of games production alerted us that announcements would unveil in the coming weeks, two weeks ago. And he also said that the Marvel: Avengers Alliance Facebook game was just the beginning of a much wider effort that'll support Marvel's The Avengers franchise with various "video game touch points."
With that said, the chances of Avengers: Battle for Earth being the next big console game is as likely as being another game developed for social networking of some sorts. However, with games such as the Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time series, Assassin's Creed franchise, and Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six, Ghost Recon & Splinter Cell franchise under Ubisoft's belt, a console game for The Avengers seems more likely. What do you think?
Marvel Studios presents in association with Paramount Pictures “Marvel’s The Avengers”--the super hero team up of a lifetime, featuring iconic Marvel super heroes Iron Man, the Incredible Hulk, Thor, Captain America, Hawkeye and Black Widow. When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.
Starring Robert Downey, Jr., Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo, Chris Hemsworth, Scarlett Johansson, Jeremy Renner and Samuel L. Jackson, & directed by Joss Whedon from a screenplay by Joss Whedon, “Marvel’s The Avengers” is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series “The Avengers,” first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effects, when “Marvel’s The Avengers” assemble on May 4, 2012. The film is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. In addition to "Marvel's The Avengers," Marvel Studios will release a slate of films based on the Marvel characters including "Iron Man 3" on May 3, 2013!; and “Thor 2” on November 15, 2013.
