New gameplay modes and characters were shown off at the Marvel Avengers War Room presentation
The event included the reveal of Hawkeye
It also included the breakdown of the Beta which is scheduled to be released on August 7
As the Avengers destroy the box office when it comes to the films, in the world of videogames, it's a different matter altogether. In that world, DC comics has the critically acclaimed Arkham series to fall back on as well as the excellent Injustice games. Marvel, on the other hand, has not had a hit game in decades, apart from Marvel's Spiderman on the PS4, but it's not for lack of trying though. Just last night we got a special sneak peek at the new Avengers game. The presentation was called the War Room and it gave us a deeper look into the gameplay, mechanics, new characters and much more. So, let’s see what the Avengers War Room has in store for us.
Marvel's Avengers shows off Hawkeye as well as a Beta Breakdown
The game opens with a 25-minute action scene on the Golden Gate bridge with a boss battle against the Taskmaster in the end. You get new gameplay of The Hulk as he travels to the Pcific Northwest with Kamala Khan where you also battle The Abomination. The game also showed off Hawkeye as a playable character in the game. The gameplay looks to be a third-person action adventure type game with a ton of missions and unique costumes. Once the single-player story has been completed, Iron Man, Kamala Khan, Black Widow and Hulk will be controllable in 3 H.A.R.M. Rooms, War Zones, and Drop Zones, which can all be accessed through a different menu.
In fact, there will be a beta version of the game that will be released in August on the Xbox One, PS4 and PC in three different stages. There’s an insane amount of content that you guys should definitely check out. Here’s the breakdown.
