Square-Enix had disappointed high hopes for Marvel’s Avenger and Marvel’s Avenger. According to the company’s latest financial results, The superhero game did not achieve its goals at all and caused significant losses for the publisher.
With losses of more than 7 billion yen in the last fiscal quarter or around 56 million dollars, the console and PC games segment did not meet expectations. And the main culprit is Marvel’s Avengers. Square-Enix president Yosuke Matsuda said disappointing sales combined with significant media investments weighed heavily on results.
Another important factor related to the title, in addition to amortizing the cost of developing the game, is having a major advertising campaign run at the time of launch.
But all is not to be thrown and Square-Enix wants to bounce back. Indeed, the publisher’s president admits he has a strategy and hopes “Compensate for slow initial sales by offering significant additional content.” in the next month. In other words, Marvel’s Avengers will no doubt host multiple paid DLCs to generate new income.
Therefore, the expansion dedicated to Kate Bishop should be the first (free) expansion in a long line of new features. And even if nothing is confirmed at the moment, the rumors of the arrival of Black Panther, Captain Marvel, or even War Machine take a little more weight on reading this speech.
