Inspired by the MCU, Marvel’s Avengers is adding a Captain America’s Nomad appearance from 2019’s Avengers: Infinity War. The superhero smashfest allows players to control Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in either single-player or multiplayer, and it heavily relies on its hero skins for post-launch revenue. While the game had a lackluster launch and a disappointing first year, developer Crystal Dynamics continues to support it in its second year and will be bringing Marvel’s Avengers to Xbox Game Pass on September 30.

Since its 2020 release, Marvel’s Avengers has faced criticism for its technical issues, microtransactions, and lack of endgame content. Crystal Dynamics has continuously updated the game with new content, including three new playable Avengers with their own story campaigns. Kate Bishop, Hawkete and Black Panther all brought with them new locations and bosses, with Black Panther’s War for Wakanda expansion being the game’s biggest update yet. Despite these additions, the endgame content in Marvel’s Avengers is still found lacking, and some argue development resources are more focused on buyable skins. Multiple outfits inspired by the popular MCU film franchise have steadily been coming to the game, with Captain America’s discolored Avengers: Infinity War suit recently leaked by an accidental email advertisement.

SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY

Following the leak, Marvel’s Avengers has officially revealed Captain America’s Avengers: Infinity War suit via Twitter. The iconic appearance sees Chris Evans’ live-action portrayal of the character on the run from the government, which is reflected in his suit’s darker coloration and lack of a chest star. The Nomad skin’s beard reflects Steve Rogers’s fugitive state in the film, though the skin does lack his long and unkempt hair. The outfit also maintains the MCU design of Captain America’s shield used for previous MCU skins – despite the character never actually wielding his shield in the film. The outfit will be available on September 30 in the Marvel’s Avengers Marketplace.

MCU skins were not included in Marvel’s Avengers at launch, and they quickly became a widely requested addition for the game. Now Crystal Dynamics seems heavily focused on pumping out these skin, perhaps to the detriment of more important additions like endgame content. Iron Man’s suit from the original MCU film was added to the game very recently, which gives the armored Avenger his iconic look from the very first MCU installment. With the apparent popularity of these skins, it seems likely that Crystal Dynamics will likely continue to release more in the near future.

Steve Rogers’s Nomad design in Avengers: Infinity War is a memorable one, with the star-spangled Avenger put in a darker and more desperate place than ever before. However, it is also noteworthy that the Infinity War suit is quite similar to the character’s previously-added Avengers: Endgame suit, with Crystal Dynamics only needing to make minor tweaks to create the more war-torn outfit. Combined with Cap’s beard (which seems very similar to the one on Thor’s model), the Infinity War suit isn’t a particularly unique addition to the Marvel’s Avengers MCU skin repertoire.

Marvel’s Avengers is available on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC and Google Stadia.
