On November 6, Square Enix published a report that reports the company's financial results over a six-month period that ended on September 30. The data analysis has recorded several losses for the company and the responsible seems to be the video game by Crystal Dynamics, Marvel's Avengers.
Astris Advisory Japan analyst and co-founder David Gibson posted a Twitter post stating that Marvel's Avengers sales would in fact only reach 60% of what the company had predicted. According to the data analyzed the copies of the game sold would be around 3 million, but the development costs would be around 100 million dollars; sales would therefore not cover the budget that Square Enix has invested for the title.
Recall that the beta of Marvel's Avengers on PlayStation 4 was made available in early access compared to other consoles and, moreover, it also managed to earning the title of the world's most downloaded beta on a PlayStation device to date.
Unfortunately, even recently the game has lost a few hits due to the delayed release of the update The Kate Bishop Operation. The update, which introduces new gear, new story elements and a second Hawkeye named Kate Bishop, was supposed to be released in October but it was postponed to be subjected to further refinement tests. In addition, the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of Marvel's Avengers will not be released during the 2020 holiday season as initially planned.
Marvel's Avengers is currently available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC, and Google Stadia. The game will land on next-gen consoles in 2021, although its official launch window has not yet been announced.
