Back in 2017, Square Enix made an announcement stating that it was working on a brand new Marvel's Avengers game. Square Enix also announced that Crystal Dynamics - the developer of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and Eidos-Montreal - Deus Ex’s developers would also help develop the game.
For those who haven’t heard of Marvel’s Avengers, it will, according to the game’s description, feature an entirely original story. Marvel’s Avengers will also present players a whole gaming universe, where we can play for many years to come.
Recently, at E3 2019, Square Enix has officially introduced the game to the fans. During their presentation for Marvel's Avengers, they said that there won’t be any loot boxes in Marvel's Avengers. Furthermore, you can’t find ways to win the game by paying.
However, if you noticed, they had never said that there wouldn’t be any microtransactions. During another interview, the game developers actually confirmed that there will, indeed, be microtransactions in this new title.
However, regarding the things those microtransactions in Marvel’s Avengers will entail, the game’s developers only revealed a few things. Still, they also left some hints that there might be more. The lead creative director of Crystal Dynamics - Shaun Escayg - shared, “There will be custom outfits that you can purchase in microtransactions.”
There are, indeed, many aesthetic ways for you to customize your card as well as your gaming experience. However, according to Vincent Napoli - the lead combat designer, none of those has any impact on the gameplay.
The developers didn’t reveal exactly what players can customize. Still, considering the similar microtransaction model in other games, there are various options from emotes to voice lines to dances.
