Marvel's Avengers Confirms Support Will Cease On September 30

Earlier today, it was reported that Crystal Dynamics was accelerating its plans to cease support for Marvel's Avengers after the departure of lead developer Brian Waggoner, with an official announcement expected as early as next week. Well, it seems like the developer has accelerated its announcement too, as it has now confirmed that support for the title will cease on September 30 later this year.

Crystal Dynamics has also revealed that Update 2.8 which launches on March 31 later this year will be the final batch of new content added to the Game before support ends. The developer stresses that both single player and multiplayer will still be available to access after September 30, as it will work to keep the Game playable for as along as possible.

In a statement posted to the Marvel's Avengers website, Crystal Dynamics thanks fans for supporting the Game and explains that all the Game's Marketplace, Challenge Card, and Shipment cosmetic content is being made free to grab for existing owners from this date forward. It states that giving out all of this cosmetic content for free is the developer's way to "thank our community by letting everyone experience the breadth and depth of content in Marvel's Avengers."

"We know this is disappointing news as everyone in our community has such a connection to these characters and their stories," reads the statement. "We're so, so grateful that you came on this adventure with us. Your excitement for Marvel's Avengers - from your epic Photo Mod shots, to your threads theorizing who our next Heroes would be, to your Twitch streams - has played a large part in bringing this Game to life."

In related news, in the same report that claimed Marvel's Avengers would cease development, it was also claimed that the next Tomb Raider Game will be revealed later this year. Considering it's now been confirmed the report's sources are accurate, it seems the chances of Lara Croft making an appearance soon just increased dramatically.

Court throws out conviction after judge says Black man 'looks like a criminal to me'

An appeals court says a Detroit federal judge violated the rights of a Black man when he said in court, ‘This guy looks like a criminal to me DETROIT -- An appeals court on Thursday overturned the drug conviction of a Black man, saying his rights were violated by a Detroit federal judge who was upset over delays in the case and declared: “This guy looks like a criminal to me.” “Such remarks are wholly incompatible with the fair administration of justice,” the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said. U.S. District Judge Stephen Murphy III, who is white, apologized nearly two years later when the case against Leron Liggins finally was ready for trial. He explained that he was mad at the time “and I regret it.” Nonetheless, the appeals court said Murphy should have removed himself as Liggins' attorney had requested. The court threw out a heroin distribution conviction and 10-year prison sentence and ordered a new trial with a different judge . Allowing the conviction to stand “wou

He's developed a lot in the last year from when I first saw him with the national team [to] a year&

Skyrim Player Finds Sigurd Mysteriously Dead, Prompts Whudunnit Theories

It's a lovely morning in Whiterun. You wake up invigorated by the spirit of a dragon you killed yesterday, and are ready to test out your new Shout. You stop by the blacksmith to craft 30 Iron Daggers to level up your blacksmithing, and then make your way to meet Jarl Balgruuf. Heimskr incessant praises to Talos don't seem to bother you, and no one talks about taking an arrow to the knee. It's a perfect day. That's when you see it – Sigurd's body laying on top of his wooden logs. A murder has been committed, and it was someone within Whiterun. This is more or less the same scenario that Redditor JDGumby went through during one of their recent walks around Whiterun (thanks, Game Rant). Sigurd was lying dead on his logs, but the player wasn't the one who killed him. The city doesn't have any hostile NPCs, so it's quite the mystery. Here's usually where the cello music would swell and Benoit Blac would enter, but instead, JDGumby decided to ask th
