Marvel Avengers Academy: In-Game “Civil War” Event

Get ready to have a “Civil War” in Marvel Avengers Academy. The mobile game will allow players to choose sides. Will you be Team Cap or Team Iron Man?

“Civil War” is the name of the game, or “mobile game,” in May 2016. Captain America: Civil War — the movie that will pit Cap and Iron Man against each other — is one of the most anticipated films of the year, and one of the most compelling installments in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. To celebrate the film’s release, Marvel Avengers Academy will have an in-game event that mirrors the rivalry of the summer blockbuster.

In Marvel Avengers Academy, the facility has become vulnerable. Steve Rogers / Captain America wants better train future Avengers in order to protect it. However, Tony Stark / Iron Man wants to employ the use of robots to protect the academy. Because of this disagreement, the two will be at odds with each other.

As participants of Marvel Avengers Academy, players will be forced to choose sides: will you be Team Cap or Team Iron Man? Like the movie, you must choose a side. Making this game more compelling is an update which includes Bucky Barnes / Winter Soldier and T’Challa / Black Panther. Here’s the official press release:

"Following MARVEL Avengers Academy’s Guardians of the Galaxy update last month, the Avengers Academy finds itself in a vulnerable state as the threat of incoming enemies heightens the need for campus safety. Captain America and Iron Man take leadership as the two opposing pillars with vastly different opinions on how to best defend the Avengers Academy, albeit this isn’t merely a campus election at stake – lives are on the line!Captain America, ever responsible and traditional in his methods, is determined to set up a training facility in order to better train the students. Meanwhile, Iron Man, the self-proclaimed genius with a supply of everlasting ego and charm, believes in building an army of robots to protect Avengers Academy.These two very different takes on solving the same dilemma force students to choose teams: Captain America vs Iron Man. Lines will be divided between former friends as teams are recruited. Each week, players will unlock a new piece of the Civil War story and different quests and prizes will be available depending on the Super Hero players choose. Foes who were once friends will battle it out in combat and in school-wide activities, such as arm-wrestling, aimed to test students at their very best skills. Who will receive a passing score and be most prepared when Hydra and their band of misfit Super Villains pay a menacing visit on-campus all leading up to one final showdown?New students enrolling in this brand new update for MARVEL Avengers Academy include Captain America’s long-lost friend, Bucky Barnes, aka the dangerous Winter Soldier, who isn’t quite looking to fondly reminisce about the old times. This update also sees the long-awaited introduction of Black Panther, donning a slick outfit, incredible moves, and a mysterious agenda that may just change the Academy forever.School will officially be out of session if Hydra takes over and it’s up to the players to save it!"

Which side will you be on when the rivalry happens? To experience your own personal Civil War, make sure you download the game for free on Google Play and the App Store.
