It has long been known that Marvel’s Avengers will also be optimized for the next-gen consoles; now there is a fixed date for the upgrade – paired with replenishment in the form of the next DLC package.
Square Enix announced that you will soon be able to enjoy Marvel’s Avengers in a specially optimized form on the new PS5 and Xbox Series X / S consoles. This game version should now be available from March 18, 2021 – together with the next DLC.
Anyone who has already secured the PS4 or Xbox One version of the title will receive the next-gen upgrade at no additional cost within the respective console family. To upgrade from the respective disc version, the corresponding counterpart of the PS5 and Xbox Series X, including a drive, is required. Saves and game progress can be transferred in the course of the upgrade and will not be lost.
On the next-gen consoles you will be able to choose between two display modes: One mode prioritizes the resolution, the second mode aims at a constant frame rate of 60 fps. The upgrade should have been released in 2020, but was postponed to 2021 in October; on March 18th the wait is over.
Square Enix presents the next-gen version of Avengers for PS5 and Xbox Series X / S in this new story trailer. This game version will then also be available from March 18, 2021.
On the same day you can look forward to Clint Barton aka Hawkeye. In the DLC “Operation Hawkeye – Future Imperfect” this superhero now finds its way into the game. The additional content will be free to all main game owners.
In addition to Hawkeye as a playable character, the DLC also includes the next chapter of the Avengers Initiative plot and also introduces a new opponent in Maestro.
According to Dataminern, other heroes appear to be on the way for the game after Hawkeye, including Black Panther, Captain Marvel, She-Hulk, Winter Soldier, War Machine and more. An official announcement is still pending.
This further new trailer of Marvel’s Avengers takes a closer look at the story of Hawkeye.
