On paper, Marvel’s Avengers seemed like it would almost certainly be a massive slam dunk for Square Enix, but as has been detailed, did not seem to do near expectations. The game has certainly had some setbacks, but the plan is to continue on with DLC, and now we know when we’ll be getting a look at the next one, as well as next gen information.
Last month saw the release of Kate Bishop. Next month we will get a deep dive into the next character, another archer that many will know well: Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. They will be showing Operation: Hawkeye – Future Imperfect, and the picture hints at Maestro, an evil and powerful alternate future version of the Hulk.
It’s also worth noting here that they also list as showing PS5, Xbox Series X information. The game was going to launch alongside the new consoles last November, but was delayed until sometime in 2021. It’s unclear if they will finally reveal dates for native versions on those systems or just upgrades to existing backwards compatibility versions. We’ll find out next month.
Marvel’s Avengers is available now on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia. The Hawkeye deep dive will go live on February 16th.
