- "Epic Action-Adventure with Cinematic Storytelling"
- Story-driven
- Up to 4 player co-op online but can be played solo offline if you want with the AI taking control of the other 3 heroes
- Live service game with a regular content delivered over multiple years and an "Ever-Expanding Universe"
- The plan is to release heroes as post-launch content

- Original story showcasing Marvel Heroism and Humanity
- Story about self-acceptance in the face of adversity and learning that together we are mighty
- Troy Baker is Bruce Banner, Jeff Schine is Captain America, Travis Willingham is Thor, Laura Bailey is Black Widow, Nolan North is Tony Stark
- The Avengers and SHIELD decide to band together and have their own themed Helicarrier called the Chimera that houses the experimental technology that sets off the events of A-Day
- Biggest challenge is that every character is so different, combat uniquely catered to each character, each characters "feels like its own game"
- Each character has unique traversal, grappling hooks, wall jumps, flight, etc.
- Only one hero is allowed, 4 Hulks won't be running around per team
- Can "straight-shot" the story by yourself, or jump-in/jump out instantaneously with your friends
- For the single-player campaign, you will only be able to play the character that is designated per mission
- Live service, but also very narrative focused, "can't really compare it to any other game"
- Said to "stay tuned" for people wondering where certain characters are
- When asked about if Spider-Man and Avengers are connected, Bill Rosemann said that they "are just focused on making the best Avengers game"
