Watch the July Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE for a breakdown of the campaign content, War Zones, and HARM Challenge Rooms you’ll take on during our August BETA weekends!#Reassemble#EmbraceYourPowers
Feel free to rewatch the presentation above, or scroll through to find out what we learned from today’s event:
Opens with a 25-minute Golden Gate Bridge sequence that sets up the story and allows you to play as each of the characters, culminating in a boss battle against Taskmaster
From there, Ms. Marvel and the Hulk head to the Pacific Northwest in search of J.A.R.V.I.S.; that globe-trotting adventure will bring your heroes into a confrontation with Abomination
Once single-player story content is complete, Iron Man, Kamala Khan, Black Widow and Hulk will be available for players to control in 4-player co-op in 3 H.A.R.M. Rooms, War Zones, and Drop Zones, accessible through an operational war table
H.A.R.M. Rooms- Holographic Augmented Reality Machine Rooms - Virtual Reality training rooms you can tackle solo, with AI, or with player companions
War Zones- Missions you may play with up to 4 heroes, either AI or companion players, or both. Each hero will have unique traversal methods in the environments. A HUD will point out mission objectives and points of interest, including in-game loot boxes. Missions range from 10 minutes to two hours.
Drop Zones- Smaller, more focused versions of War Zones with a single objective; great for leveling heroes quickly.
Progression- Beta includes missions made for different players and power levels, with increasingly ambitious missions becoming available. The Beta grants access to starting skill pages for each hero; other pages open in the full game. 20-some missions overall should offer a good taste before the main game arrives in September.
Heroics & Ultimates- Hulkbuster is Iron Man’s Ultimate and will be available in the Beta. Enjoy rocket-propelled melee attack combos and stage-clearing dash attacks. Extra powerful repulsor blasts, tanky damage-absorption, and a rocket-propelled gauntlet accents the Ultimate, but there are more secrets to be discovered.
Companion AI- These heroes are the ones that players unlock and level (and customize, if Hulk’s three-piece suit combo is any indication); the game addsyourspecialized, customized, tailor-made heroes.
Heroes- Joining after launch: Hawkeye (and his pup Lucky, we hope; yeah, we heard that little background bark!)
“Reassmble” Campaign - Kamala’s quest to reunite the disbanded avengers, with six characters available at launch
“Avengers Initiative” Campaign - Protect the Earth as the reformed Avengers, from both existing threats and those to come; also solo or co-op
Full game includes 80 missions and new content like “Hives” and unannounced boss battles/regions
