How To Unlock Multiplayer

Avengers Initiative

The Avengers Initiative is a post-campaign multiplayer mode that allows you to take on a variety of missions. This allows you to take on a full-stack of four heroes from any available heroes in all missions.

This mode is unlocked from the start, but it contains story spoilers.

Campaign

There are some levels you cannot play multiplayer in, but on levels with two or more heroes available in a mission, you should be able to invite players to join your campaign mission. You can play multiplayer during and after the Missing Links mission, but some missions after cannot be played in multiplayer.

Avengers Split Screen (Local Co-op) Multiplayer

While many fans may have been hoping for split screen so that they could enjoy multiplayer with a friend on one console, unfortunately, you cannot play couch coop or split screen with someone on the same console. You can only play Marvel's Avengers online when playing multiplayer.

It is unknown if split screen multiplayer (couch co op) will be added as a feature in the future, but at the moment, it seems unlikely.
