There have been some reports over the past couple of days that Marvel's Avengers is suffering a dwindling playerbase on PC just over a month since the game launched, and players seem to be getting frustrated with a lack of new content and little in the way of communication from developer Crystal Dynamics.
In response, studio head Scot Amos has provided a very lengthy statement to Kotaku, explaining that the team is fighting every day to "make the best game possible for our community".
"We have a great community management team at Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix who funnel all of your concerns, suggestions, and feedback to the development team daily. We are listening. We are making fixes, improvements, and additions as fast as we safely can to make Marvel’s Avengers the game we all aspire it to be."
Amos confirmed in the statement that the team has various new content in the pipeline including a new War Zone mission type, a new Outpost, two new Heroes and Operations (Kate Bishop, Clint Barton), and various loot distribution and quality of life features that will be added over the coming months.
"We are confident that we’ll see PC players (as well as those on Xbox One and PlayStation 4) return to the game as we add exciting new late-game content and demonstrate that we continue to be focused on improving the game."
Crystal Dynamics says it'll be sharing more information on the near content drops next week, and more "community communication initiatives" are coming soon to provide more direct information with fans.
Hopefully then, we'll see some fresh content arrive before the game's free next-gen upgrade on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, which is scheduled to be available at the launch of the new consoles.
Are you still enjoying the late-game content for Marvel's Avengers? Let us know below.

This is a game made for Gamepass!
Another example of a game I will likely play once it is polished, complete and outside of live beta
@themightyant will there be anyone left by that point though?
@StonyKL Doesn't matter, I don't play online, only here for the story, which I hear is pretty good. Not interested in grinding for cosmetics.
Another Anthem situation brewing?
Not interested at full price at all. Especially since we got screwed out of Spiderman on the XBox side.
Must admit, I've got this on my wishlist but not at £50. From this feedback, it will be in the bargain section soon
Yeah good luck with that, by all accounts it didn't sell huge in the first place give the name attached
It feels like only last month I had a certain group of gamers defending this game, it's live service approach, the huge impact of having Spidey being exclusive to their platform, and claiming that the 'Marvel' brand would make this game bigger than Cyberpunk.
Probably helps that it was only around a month ago, but yeah. Games. They die so fast nowadays.
And yet I have waited for the next-gen version to get my hands on this gem in its purest form !
So as far as I am concerned, this will be one of the launch titles for my brand new Series X.
I already know that I'll like the game, cause I'm a big Avengers fan and all I expect is a good story with my favorites characters in it.
I'm not even interested in the "game as a service" aspect. I plan to do the solo mode, and that's it.
@Bobobiwan it’s a great story that ends when it feels like it just takes off.
Enjoyed the campaign. Was a solid 8/10.
The multiplayer though was pants. Got boring very quickly and just felt like wasted potential.
So many brilliant Marvel villains they could use, instead you are mostly fighting robots a couple of other characters.
It's OK drip feeding new heroes, but we need actual new threats and villains to take on.
They lost me with the demo when I got stuck at the login screen demanding I enter an email address to proceed. At that point I deleted the game and never looked back.
I was planning on buying it too, before that.
