Last week, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics released the first expansion for Marvel's Avengers titled War for Wakanda. Taking place after the Reassembled campaign that's boxed in with the base game's release, Wakanda introduces King T'Challa as the new playable hero: Black Panther. Accessed through the title screen's Operations menu, Wakanda can be played and re-played after completion, and comes at no additional cost to purchasing the game. Jumping in, the campaign in Wakanda kicks off with an AIM invasion led by hired goon Ulysses Klaue and his army, in the hopes of stealing the nation's secrets in utilizing vibranium -- a resource their technology. T'Challa pursues Klaue's men through his county, where we get more information about Wakanda and its place within the Marvel's Avengers world. Eventually, returning to the capital Birnin Zana, T'Challa reunites with his sister Princess Shuri to formulate a plan on repelling Klaue and AIM alike. While the campaign takes several hours to complete, the story is breezy, yet effective in telling a self-contained story transpiring in the larger plot of the Avengers combating AIM. T'Challa and Shuri both have different angles on how best to protect Wakanda, and the tension between them helps carry through what

The latest content update for Marvel's Avengers arrived this week, as announced on the recent Square Enix Presents Spring broadcast. Featuring Clint Barton, or "Hawkeye", the story picks up where the "Taking AIM" update left off. Clint has been rescued by the Avengers, and has a vision of an apocalyptic future where Earth has largely been destroyed by an alien race called the Kree. We play as his future self for a time, searching for Nick Fury in an attempt to make amends for abandoning the Avengers in their hour of need. Meanwhile, present-day Clint and Kate find a way travel to that same future to find a way to prevent it. Future Imperfect is about a two-hour affair that, despite being part of an unfolding story, is breezy and largely self-contained. Clint and Kate take the spotlight while the rest of the Avengers cast tag along in the literal sense. Given the length, it probably doesn't make much sense to have every Avenger have their moment, but it would have been nice if they had additional, observational dialogue. If you're like me, and not well-versed with all things Marvel, some plot beats might move along a bit too quickly to land

Today marks the release of Marvel's Avengers for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, with owners of the game on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One eligible for a free upgrade and the ability to transfer save progress.

The first major update following Marvel's Avengers release back in September dropped this week. It adds Kate Bishop as a new playable Hero as well as a new scenario "Taking AIM" that follows the conclusion of the Reassembled campaign the game launched with. This update comes at no additional cost to the base game. The Avengers, in their efforts to combat AIM, reunite with Kate (voiced by Ashly Burch) and join her search for her missing partner Clint Barton. Mysterious tachyon rifts that affect spacetime have been appearing all over the globe (and in missions that started appearing last month) and the Avengers believe AIM is responsible. It's a two-part story with Clint's chapter dropping next month, as part of Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics' ongoing content roll-out. Kate Bishop uses a bow and sword in combat, and as you might expect, has a lot of moves that take advantage of a close or distant range. She also has a heroic ability to warp to an enemy's location and close a wide gap while dealing a lot of damage. Her abilities feel fun to play with, and in spite of the inability to fly, feels more apt to attack from a distance. While

In their latest 'War Table' presentation, the Marvel's Avengers developers reveal the first large update after the game's September launch will arrive on December 8th. Such updates will be called "Operations" and the first features Kate Bishop in "Taking AIM" which introduces her as a new playable hero along with a scenario that continues after the 'Reassembled' campaign's conclusion. Investigating the disappearances of Nick Fury and her mentor Clint Barton, her path eventually crosses with the Avengers. The story will be a double-feature where Clint Barton, or Hawkeye, will be featured in the second half. Currently, the Tachyon Rift missions available in the game now will lead up to this Operation, where Kate Bishop will take a prominent role. This Operation will also introduce an "Omega-Level Threat" a boss called a Super Adaptoid that mimics the abilities of the Avengers. In the trailers below, you can check out gameplay featuring Kate Bishop, where she uses bow, sword, and warping techniques to dismantle enemies. Operation Hawkeye: Future's Imperfect will release in early 2021, and a next-generation launch of the game is also planned for early 2021.
