By Mulder, 19 november 2020

Square Enix Ltd. today announced the arrival of Kate Bishop, the new playable superhero from Marvel's Avengers. She will be available at the launch of Operation: Kate Bishop - Wrestling with AIM on December 8. Other playable superheroes will be implemented soon. In Marvel's Avengers' Operation Kate Bishop - Battling AIM, players will be able to play as the new superhero Kate Bishop and take on the Super-Adaptoid. This incredibly powerful opponent will challenge players with skills and weapons that allow her to mimic the attacks of the various Avengers.

The tachyonic fault missions introduced a few weeks ago via the various Player Mission Terminals have led them to this new operation "Battling AIM". In this mission, Kate Bishop, an outstanding archer and gymnast, reappears after her investigation into the disappearance of Nick Fury and his mentor Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye. While she is trying to unravel the mystery of the appearance of tachyonic faults, which alter time, she discovers the new diabolical plan of the AIM and decides to collaborate once again with the Avengers.

Wrestling with AIM" begins just after the conclusion of the "Gathering" campaign and represents the first half of the narrative arc of the two Hawkeyes. The Hawkeye played by Clint Barton will make its debut in early 2021 to complete the duo's arc and prepare for the arrival of the next content in the Avengers Initiative.

Gamers who own the game on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One will be able to upgrade to next-generation platforms* free of charge. Players who complete the upgrade will have their player profiles and progress transferred to the new platforms so they can pick up where they left off. In addition, the game is cross-platform compatible, meaning that players on PS5™ will be able to play with their friends who play on PS4™ and those on Xbox Series X|S will be able to play with their friends who play on Xbox One.

Marvel's Avengers offers gamers a rich experience by combining the Gathering single player campaign with the Avengers Initiative's war zone missions that will take heroes around the world and beyond. Each mission in the Gathering campaign is designed to showcase the unique abilities of heroes, while the Avengers Initiative missions allow you to play as the hero you want and are playable solo alongside the AI or with a group of up to four players**.

The story of Marvel's Avengers will continue to develop after the game's release and new campaigns featuring new superheroes and enemies, new mission types, new items and new regions will be added for free to players who have already purchased the basic game. These stories will continue to expand in the world of Marvel's Avengers to create a multi-year arc, and players will be able to complete all new missions with all playable heroes.
