Bucky Barnes is the next character coming to Marvel's Avengers

Marvel’s Avengers developer Crystal Dynamics and publisher Square Enix revealed new updates coming to the game in an August missive that shares Bucky Barnes, the “Winter Soldier,” will be the newest Hero to join the playable roster.

Future updates will include a villain-focused warzone that will expand the story, traversal and combat updates, and a new Omega-Level Threat called AIM’s Cloning Lab that was planned to debut near the game’s original launch but was delayed for heavy revisions.

You can read the details yourself below:

Update 2.6

“Our next update will be 2.6 and is currently expected to release in September. It will introduce the ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ Warzone, a new villain-focused adventure for all players. The Scientist Supreme is running out of resources (and clones) and takes further risks to secure AIM’s power. Monica has recovered M.O.D.O.K. from the San Francisco Bay with plans to revive him for use as a weapon against the Avengers. Our heroes must put an end to her plans before the mutation-maddened genius returns.

Alongside the Warzone, starting in 2.6 and continuing in future updates, we’ll be rolling out updates to our full roster of Heroes. One of the most important elements of Marvel’s Avengers is that everyone on our roster feels heroic to play. This will be an ongoing process over several updates as we look at combat, balance, and traversal and make tweaks and changes to make sure every Hero continues to feel like they’ve leapt from the pages of the comics.”

We’ll have many more details about Cloning Lab and the Winter Soldier after the release of update 2.6.

We know we’re excited about the plans we have for Update 2.6 and beyond, and hope this glimpse excites you as well. Beginning in Update 2.6 and continuing beyond, we’ll be taking our heroes on new and different adventures to encounter fresh threats, reunite with friends, and find new allies. With Marvel’s Avengers now available on both Xbox Game Pass and PS+ Extra there’s no better time to grab your friends and build your own superhero squad.

Thanks again for adventuring with us and Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!”
