Well, it just seems Square Enix is delaying all their games today as the Crystal Dynamics developed Marvel's Avengers has also been pushed back. Originally slated for a May 15th release, the game will now be releasing on September 4th. Crystal Dynamics has released the following statement regarding the delay.

To our fans, At Crystal Dynamics our ambition has always been to deliver the ultimate Avengers gaming experience. In order to achieve that goal, we have made the difficult decision to move the release date of Marvel's Avengers to September 4, 2020. As fans ourselves, it's an honour and a privilege to work with these legendary characters and we know what these Super Heroes mean to us and True Believers around the world. When we set out to bring you our vision for Marvel's Avengers, we committed to delivering an original story-driven campaign, engaging co-op, and compelling content for years to come. To that end, we will spend this additional development time focusing on fine tuning and polishing the game to the high standards our fans expect and deserve. The worldwide teams working on Marvel's Avengers sincerely appreciate the support you've shown us. We thrive on your enthusiasm and feedback and we can't wait to show you more. We apologise for the delay. We're confident it will be worth the wait.

I have personally been on the fence about the Avengers game since it's announcement back at E3 last year. The story seemed enjoyable but the revealed gameplay really left a lot to be desired. Hopefully, with this delay, the game will live up to the standards Crystal Dynamics has set for their titles.

What do you all think of this delay?
