During E3 2019, IGN met with Marvel’s Avengers developers Crystal Dynamics to learn how character customization will work in the upcoming game.
During the interview, IGN’s Joshua Yehl sat down with lead combat designer Vincent Napoli, who revealed there will be three main categories of customization: skills, gear, and cosmetics. At this point, we don’t know if those are the official names of each category, but those are the player’s primary pathways for customization.
Skill Customization in Marvel’s Avengers
On the subject of skills, Napoli said, “There’s a pretty in-depth skill tree that lets you customize abilities, upgrade abilities, gain new moves. It’s a pretty robust moveset for each of the characters. The tree layout is very distinct because the characters don’t really fit the similar mold. So while one character has alternate combos, another character might have weaponization stuff, like we did with Hulk.”
