Avengers LEAK: Every Playable Character That Will Be Included

16. Hulkbuster

Bizarrely, the datamined information from the Avenger's beta also lists the Hulkbuster, Iron-Man's iconic giant armour suit, as an unlockable character.

This is particularly strange as we already know that the Hulkbuster is in the game, but it's in there as an unlockable special move that Iron-Man can use. It's not known as this point whether the developers are planning the Hulkbuster suit to be an actual character later on, if they considered it being one in the past, or if this is just some weird oversight of bit of jumbled up code.

Perhaps, technically as Iron-Man converts into the suit, he's classed as a different character temporarily when rampaging around in the Hulkbuster? As it has its own moveset and capabilities, this could easily be possible as it'd give the developers an easy way around coding the suit in and just swapping out character models when its called in.

We reckon we probably won't be seeing a separate character being released for the Hulkbuster going forward, but you never know!
