After a bit of a rough start, Marvel’s Avengers has been proving it has gaming legs. It has often found itself on the GFK list of weekly top selling games this year. One reason why could be that the game has gotten frequent content updates that bring with them new characters, environments and missions.
Yesterday, Square Enix announced another update, version 2.6, to Marvel’s Avengers which will be coming to the game in September. Thanks to our friends at StadiaSource for first covering this.
You can read the full details of the 2.6 update from Square Enix here. But, some of the highlights include:
- 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.
- Updates to the roster of Heroes to make sure every Hero continues to feel like they’ve leapt from the pages of the comics
Marvel’s Avengers Updates Beyond Version 2.6
Square Enix then goes on to tease some updates that will be coming after the 2.6 release. Most notably this includes the ability to play as James Buchanan “Bucky” Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, who will rejoin his former allies and his mentor Steve Rogers.
In addition, there will be a new playable omega-level threat (OLT), AIM’s Cloning Lab.
