Crystal Dynamics also shared more details on “Ultimates,” which are boosts to character’s abilities. During the live-stream, we get to see Iron Man’s “Ultimate,” the Hulk Buster armor in action, and it looks very impressive.
Last but certainly not least, the burning question, where is Hawkeye has been answered? Since the game was announced and revealed to focus around, the original members of the superhero squad fans couldn’t help nut notice that Clint Barton was missing in action. Well, that its no longer the case. Hawkeye was confirmed to be in the game and will be a post-launch character. He will have his own missions for players to experience while using him.
No date has been revealed as to when we can expect him to arrive in the game, but this pretty much lets us know to expect other additional Avengers to be added to the roster. So go ahead and peep Hawkeye’s reveal below and remember Marvel’s Avengers drops worldwide September 4 on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
