Marvel’s Avengers Delays PS5, Xbox Series X Versions

Through a publication made on its official blog, Crystal Dynamics announced all the news that its successful video game, Marvel’s Avengers, will receive.

These go through everything that the title will incorporate in the future, which will introduce different missions and characters, which sponsor more hours of play.

In turn, the company was in charge of announcing the delay for 2021 of the version for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S, because they still need time to produce a product that meets the expectations of those platforms.

Undoubtedly, the present that Marvel’s Avengers is going through is very positive for its producers, since the title was positioned as the best-selling of the month of September in the US.

This, in turn, placed it as number one in sales of 2020, a special year for the gaming industry. In this context, the delay of the game in its edition for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S, is not a big problem, given that it is still taking its first steps in the immense community of users that the current generation of consoles.

However, the developer did not delve into the reasons why this delay occurs. What was highlighted is that extra time is necessary to be able to make a title that is at the height of what the new platforms will be and all the performance they will offer.

Although this does not mean a big problem for the game’s producer, it is still a failed opportunity to get into the forefront of the catalog of new consoles, which at the beginning will not be so crowded.

It is worth noting that it will be possible to play Marvel’s Avengers on the new consoles but through backward compatibility. For this, players just need to insert their PS4 or Xbox One disc and download the game.

It will not be an entirely new experience, but at least it will allow you to migrate from the platform and enjoy the optimized loading times that they will provide.

In the statement, the study points out that since the title hit the market, they made all possible efforts so that players have the best experience, something that undoubtedly took time away from the PS5 and Xbox Series X version S.

As they indicated, they improved the errors, adjusted the game system, everything from the feedback with the user community. In turn, the eight updates that were integrated for this standout, which also refined the matchmaking.

Looking to the future, Crystal Dynamics advises that its intention is to create a cycle of fixed patches that guarantee both their demands and those of the users.

They also clarify that working in this way will allow them to have better tests before launching them. In this context comes the delay in Kate Bishop’s operation, which will be postponed, at least, for next November.

However, they were in charge of giving details of this mission, in which players will come across a story that begins shortly after the end of the Reunited campaign. This is not this, since they also reported that Clint will later arrive and, in 2021, the Avengers initiative with a new hero.

The Crystal Dynamics title, Marvel’s Avengers, can be downloaded for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, though Valve’s platform, Steam.

Steam Deck 2 won't arrive for a couple of years

When asked about the possible arrival of a more powerful Steam Deck, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais hinted that we won’t see a successor to the hybrid between PC and portable console for at least a couple of years. The decision depends both on the intention to maintain a fixed ecosystem in terms of optimization targets for developers, guaranteeing players that every Deck in circulation is able to run the same titles, and on hardware issues.

Valve, Griffais said, will work on increasing performance only when it is possible to significantly increase power without significant impacts on efficiency and autonomy. And it’s something that according to the developer won’t happen over the next two years. We will therefore have to wait until at least 2025 if not 2026 to see a Steam Deck 2 appear.

Changing performance levels is not something we take lightly and we only want to do it when a significant enough improvement can be achieved. We also don’t want increased performance to come at a significant cost to power efficiency and battery life. I don’t foresee such a leap being possible in the next couple of years, but we are still closely monitoring innovations in architecture and manufacturing processes to see where this goes. – Pierre-Loup Griffais, Valve

Despite Griffais’ words, improved versions of the current model cannot be ruled out which would undoubtedly benefit from greater autonomy or a screen with Variable Refresh Rate. Just think of the recent rumors about the new Valve hardware and also how it never refers to specific models, excluding only the increase in power.

Meanwhile, the Steam Deck is still capable of running the latest games but struggles with titles like Starfield, despite the optimizations of version 3.5 of the console’s operating system, unlike consoles like the Asus ROG Ally and the Ayaneo AIR 1S. It stays through most attractive in terms of price /quality ratio, being available for 419 euros in the version with 64 GB of storage, however expandable with solutions such as the WD Black SN770M SSD.

Director of Star Wars Jedi Survivor Leaves EA, Why

Director of Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor, Stig Asmussen is reportedly leaving Electronic Arts ( EA ). Why?

According to reports, Asmussen is leaving EA to seek other challenges in his gaming industry career.

“With careful thought and consideration, Stig Asmussen has decided to leave Respawn to pursue other adventures, and we wish him the best,” an EA spokesperson said.

“Respawn’s veteran leaders will take a key role in guiding the team as they continue their work on Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” EA continued.

Asmussen has been a director at Respawn Entertainment for 14 years. Previously, he worked at Sony Interactive Entertainment, where he primarily worked on the God of War series, including God of War III.

Currently, Asmussen has not yet determined his next destination.

The Star Wars: Jedi series has been a striking success story for EA, making it something of an exception to the company’s experience with the franchise as a whole. When EA first revealed Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order in 2018, the company had just faced major controversy over the implementation of loot boxes in Battlefront 2.

Despite being criticized for bugs, Fallen Order turned out to be a success for EA , and Survivor further strengthened the series.

Asmussen previously said that he wanted to make Star Wars: Jedi a trilogy, so his sudden departure is all the more surprising.
