I wonder how far I’m allowed to share,” he teased before continuing, “Next month we will publish various things.” Based on the hashtags used, we are likely to expect to see more information on Final Fantasy VII Remake as well as Final Fantasy VII First Soldier.

The Marvel's Avengers team just finished up another Q&A session for Day 2 of E3. There will be one more Q&A session for tomorrow, the last day of E3. What is this game? It's a single player narrative driven cinematic game, but it's also a hybrid. Events take place which split the Avengers apart. The story takes you to different places playing different characters. You can choose how you want to play these missions with which character as you unlock them. You can play alone or with your friends. There's a lot of choice in how you can play the game. Why aren't these the MCU characters? We wanted to create an original Avengers story. Their uniforms, their choices are all around our story. We cast everyone differently, pulled information from the comic books, worked with Marvel to get the best choices for this story. How many more heroes will be added post launch? We plan to release additional heroes and regions at regular intervals at no additional cost. We're excited to add characters from the Avengers' roster spanning over 80 years of history. This story allows for quite a diverse cast of heroes. Can you talk about

The Marvel's Avengers Twitter just published a short Q&A session for Day 1 of their E3 coverage. In this short broadcast, they asked Rose Lead Producer and Phil Lead Designer on Marvel's Avengers eight questions selected from the fans on Twitter. Can one play the game totally single player offline and not online? Yes. However, it's strongly encouraged that you play with friends as it's a lot more fun. You can do pretty much everything offline though. How does multiplayer work? There's a robust campaign where you play different heroes throughout the story. There will also be a base of operations where you can go and play multiplayer missions or the standard campaign. You'll be able to go to many different places throughout the world. Will there be a skill tree or leveling up? Each character gets their own skill tree. Players will be able to create unique heroes based on what skills they choose over someone else. For example, you can focus on melee or ranged for Captain America, unlock different skills or the type of gear set that your hero has as well as your outfit. Can you explain more about customization? You can customize costumes, skills, gear etc.
