Marvel's Avengers has regularly received new content updates since its launch, with many of the updates consisting of new cosmetics for players to add to their collection. While Marvel's Avengers at first deliberately avoided making its heroes look like their Marvel Cinematic Universe counterparts, it has since embraced the MCU's popularity, adding a slew of skins to the game based on Marvel's record-breaking film franchise.
The latest MCU-inspired Marvel's Avengers skin takes players back to the very beginning of the MCU. Based on the 2008 Iron Man movie, the first-ever MCU film, the Marvel Studios' Iron Man Outfit will be available in the live-service game starting Thursday, September 23. The suit looks like the spitting-image of Iron Man as he appeared in the Iron Man movie, and based on the reaction online, it appears to have been warmly-received by fans of the game.
This new Iron Man suit joins the many others that are available in Marvel's Avengers. Players are able to collect other MCU-themed Iron Man suits, including one that mimics Iron Man's appearance in Avengers: Endgame. However, this Iron Man skin being based on the character's appearance in the original MCU movie should especially appeal to fans' nostalgia and may prove to be one of the more popular cosmetics in the game.
Other Marvel's Avengers characters have a variety of MCU skins for players to purchase as well, though there are still some MCU skins missing from the game. Assuming Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix keep supporting Marvel's Avengers with new cosmetic content, one has to imagine that all the most popular MCU looks for the playable characters will make their way to the game at some point down the line.
As it stands, Crystal Dynamics has already revealed its plans for Marvel's Avengers for the rest of 2021. The Marvel's Avengers 2021 roadmap confirms that players have their first Raid to look forward to, along with a power level cap increase, a new enemy type, and much more.
Arguably the biggest upcoming content update for Marvel's Avengers is one that will be exclusive to PlayStation users. Spider-Man is coming to Marvel's Avengers as a playable character before the year is out, and while that particular piece of content will be PS exclusive, fans can look forward to everything else coming to all platforms. This includes the 2008 Iron Man suit, which will be available starting September 23.
Marvel's Avengers is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
