Marvel's The Avengers Game: 10 Things You Need To Know
9. All New Characters & Areas As Free DLC
Square Enix has promised right out of the gates that new characters are coming, and they’ll all be free DLC. This is likely the route Spider-Man and possibly Hawkeye will join the game too.
You might unlock some characters as you go through (the West Coast Avengers and Ant-Man would be a good pick here), or it may be that newer characters become available at drip-fed points after release.
Basically, at this stage all we know is new characters are coming, and they’re free. These freebies might be funded by having to buy alternate costumes, but one thing at a time.
Both ways have pros and cons. Unlocking them throughout and having separate missions means potentially more content, alongside integrating them into the story.
However, a more ‘anything goes’ policy opens up a whole world of potential. Without needing to tie characters to the story, the game would be free to throw in practically anyone (rights permitting).
Surely the Fantastic Four would be a fan favourite.
