MARVEL'S AVENGERS Launches on Next-Gen Consoles Next Month

Square Enix has finally announced that fans will be able to play the next-gen versions of Marvel’s Avengers on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S starting March 18. If you already have the game on PS4 or Xbox One, you’ll automatically be able to play the next-gen version in the same console family at no additional cost. In addition, Clint Barton will be joining the roster in Operation Hawkeye – Future Imperfect on the same day. This addition comes at no cost to owners of the core game and will be available on all platforms. In addition, Maestro will appear as a powerful new villain.

Future Imperfect’s story picks up in the wake of Clint Barton’s protégé Kate Bishop’s Operation, Taking AIM and can be played solo or with up to three friends to deliver the ultimate Super Hero experience.
