When the preliminary roster for Square Enixs Marvels Avengers was very first revealed, Kamala Khan right away stuck out, due to the fact that the remainder of the squad consisted completely of heroes whove been core parts of Marvels cinematic universe up to this point. Considering that then, weve discovered that both Hawkeye and Spider-Man are making their way to the game eventually, developing that Marvels Avengers is going to grow in time.
Each playable character within Marvels Avengers is coded with a “challenge card” that keeps track of a gamers development through different specialized missions that open unique rewards like alternate outfits that can be equipped while playing. The list discovered by dataminers consists of Ant-Man, Black Panther, Captain Marvel, Doctor Strange, Falcon, Kate Bishop, Mar-Vell (the original Captain Marvel, although whether or not this will be inspired by the movies take on the character is unidentified), Mockingbird, Quake (a.k.a. Agents of SHIELDs Daisy Johnson), Scarlet Witch, She-Hulk, Vision, War Machine, Wasp, and the Winter Soldier.
Whats intriguing is that, should the datamine turn out to be a sign of Marvels Avengers future, the game has the potential to actually end up being the expansive, cinematic experience that Marvels huge foray back into gaming in the last few years has actually been hoping to be since the release of Marvels Spider-Man– and something that would make Avengers seem like something more than simply a grittier take on the Marvel Ultimate Alliance franchise.
Among the greatest concerns concerning the video game has been simply whos going to join the party down the line– whether the game would welcome the comic books huge rosters of Earths mightiest or try to hew as close as possible to the pillars of the MCU– something that would, hopefully, lead to the story becoming more expansive and complex in order to accommodate new characters. While designer Crystal Dynamics has actually been mum about prospective new playable characters, IGN reports that dataminers who got their hands on the Marvels Avengers beta this previous weekend had the ability to sort through the games code and identify a minimum of 15 more Avengers that could be stepping onto the scene, with Kamala Khan and her incredible good friends following the video games launch.

G/O Media might get a commission
That being said, the additional Avengers could wind up being dropped into the video game with absolutely nothing but a few practical cutscenes that develop who they lack making them integral parts of Marvels Avengers plot. That wouldnt always be the worst thing worldwide, however its probably not what individuals are going to want when the game drops on September 4.
