In case you’d rather watch the Avengers save the world than fight the X-Men, Marvel has come with something for you to like… literally: an Avengers Facebook game. Avengers Assemble, created by Marvel and fellow Disney subsidiary Playdom, will allow players to create their own characters to join Earth’s Mightiest Heroes alongside all manner of familiar faces; according to Marvel’s VP of Games Production TQ Jefferson, there will be more than 100 characters throughout the game to offer easter eggs for longtime fans:
You don’t need to know 75 years of Marvel continuity to understand what is going on, but if you do, those elements are in there.
According to USA Today, the game should be launched within the next three months, just in time for the ramp-up for May’s big movie.
