Square Enix has posted a Marvel’s Avengers day one blog post which details everything you need to know about playing the game on day one.
It’s now been confirmed that those that purchase the PlayStation Store Exclusive Digital Edition, Deluxe Edition or Earth’s Mightiest Edition will get access on September 1st (those that purchase the other editions will get access on September 4th).
It’s also been confirmed that you’ll need to be connected to the internet to play Marvel’s Avengers for the first time. A day one patch that is approximately 18gb will need to be installed in order to play the game. You won’t need an active internet connection to play the game solo after this, but you will need to be connected to the internet to play online co-op ad download post-launch content.
The Day One Patch includes several updates and refinements that are required for play. Additionally, the patch includes localisation files for the game’s dialogue, which are quite extensive, as we are localizing Marvel’s Avengers in 15 different languages.
