This is a complete timeline of the Marvel's Avengers (2020) video game series and its tie-in media in chronological order, with placements chosen to give the best possible reading order for new players. Currently this includes the upcoming game, its prequel novel and prequel comics. I will continue to update this timeline here and on my website as more media is released.

Marvel's Avengers: Road to A-Day
Marvel's Avengers: The Extinction Key
Marvel's Avengers: Reassemble
Marvel's Avengers: Avengers Initiative
Marvel's Avengers: Taking AIM
Marvel's Avengers: Future Imperfect

If anyone's interested, I'll be livestreaming the beta for the game on my Twitch channel this weekend :D

to be fair, the game is as well.


you can get the definitive edition with everything unlocked for dirt cheap these days. I think I might play it before it gets delisted
 
so I played through the Marvel's Avengers game and its DLC and... yeah its bad but in a frustrating way, because there are these frequent glimmers of an amazing game. It looks gorgeous, the character interactions are fun and the story is decent... but the Live service aspects really kill it. I found it really hard to actually follow the story of the game given how the missions are just littered on the "objectives" page at random and are all accessable from the beginning. Also if you are planning to play this yourself (and you are running out of time) on the main menu click "campaign" DO NOT click "play now" as it takes you to the post-game and opens with a spoiler-filled recap of the entire story, including the DLCs...


anyways, OPs is slightly wrong, as the portrayal of characters in the comics and novel indicates that the novel comes first. Also it is missing the online story "A Sunset with You" which was written for Pride, and there is also a Ms Marvel tie-in comic that wasnt published but you can find a completed version of it floating around online.

for anyone who is interested, I wrote up a quick timeline of all the media. "BAD" stands for "Before A-Day" and AAD stands for "After A-Day", however I personally assume A-day happened in 2020 (Interestingly the lead-up to A-Day does represent the intense fandom-era of the late 2010s while everything post A-day does have that more gloomy post-pandemic '20s feel)

What about the Hero events and the Avengers initiative?
 
Is the BAD-AAD made up by you? Why can not people understand that calendars go from 1 Before Something to 1 After Something without the 0BS, 0AS or "Year Zero" thing?
Edit: After reading the message it seems ruder that I intended it, sorry if it gives that impression

i did yeah, I wrote this up on my laptop and I needed something as a placeholder and anchoring it around A-day made sense. I might alter it and just go with the idea that "A-Day" took place in 2020 because its not like this subfranchise is going to go on for decades and have lots of conflicts with that timeline.

my understanding is that the hero events for the core team take place between the main game and first DLC, and the other war zone events and miscellaneous missions take place post the main campaign and interwoven with the DLC. I didnt play any of them as I'm not much of a multiplayer gamer and this game is pretty much dead anyway, but I tried to list the ones that had strong plot relevance, like "Breaking the odds".

That being said, if there was a release schedule somewhere then it could be possible to create an accurate timeline using the the release dates of each particular event...
