Leaked gameplay footage emerges from THQ’s cancelled The Avengers game

Prior to Crystal Dynamics’ Marvel’s Avengers Game, THQ was working on an official The Avengers game. However, and after THQ went bankrupt, that game was cancelled. And today, it appears that some gameplay footage from this cancelled game has been leaked online.

THQ’s The Avengers game was a first-person game. The game would feature four super heroes and these are: Iron-Man, Captain America, Thor and Hulk. We don’t know whether THQ was planning to include more than those.

The game would have a number of objectives to complete, and players could fight various enemies. By killing enemies, players would be getting experience points. Thus, we can assume that the game would feature some sort of RPG elements (or at least character development). Naturally, all super heroes would have their iconic moves. For instance, Captain America can throw his shield, Thor has his hammer and Iron-Man can shoot projectiles.

Do note that the following videos are from a really early stage. Most of the environments are not finished, and a lot of objects lack textures. Obviously, these game builds are also not that polished. Still, we are certain that some of you will be interested in them so go ahead and take a look.

Enjoy!

  1. I hope someday THQ Nordic will revive True Crime: Black Lotus and hire ex employee from United Front Games to make Sleeping Dogs spiritual sequel…

  2. First person is not the brightest idea for this kind of game where you play with Iron Man, Hulk and Thor.

  3. Not sure how this whole Marvel crap is still thing, but, I’m kind of glad that I don’t get it. On direct topic, that game looks like complete trash, but then, so does the one being made by Square.

  4. “these game builds are also not that polished”

    Not unlike much of the trash that Marvel Comics has published these past few years.

  5. why would you leave a cool idea like this for a goddamn third person hack and slash with an uninteresting shetskin as the lead character?
