We talked to the star-studded voice cast of Marvel's Avengers about putting their owꦬn spin on these well♊-known characters.

Square Enix revealed its plans for Kate Bishop in its final pre-launch Avengers War Table presentation. She'll join the cast with Avengers' first post-release story expansion, Operation Marvel's Avengers: Kate Bishop - Taking AIM. The new Operation will follow directly after the events of the base game's Avengers Assemble campaign, and Bishop's story will also tie in with Operation Marvel's Avengers: Hawkeye - Future Imperfect (which will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:add Clint Barton to the game).

A trailer for Taking AIM teases Bishop's complicated relationship with the Avengers and a new villain. It also sets up a seeming do𒁏uble-cross from her closest ally. Square Enix considers the two Hawkeyes' operations to be a "double feature," so expect their stories to intertwine.

While you'd expect Kate Bishop and Clint Barton to fight pretty much the same way - both being martial-arts practiced, trick-shooting archers - the trailer briefly teases what looks like a new superpower for Bishop. She disappears in a field of crackling purple energy then reappears behind a grou♓p of enemies, using her new position to pepper their unguarded backs with arrows.

She may have picked up a cool new gadget, or perhaps this particular Marvel universe version of Kate Bishop was caught in the same A-Day catastrophe that gave Ms. Marvel her powers. We likely won't have to wait lo🎐ng🧸 to find out, though Square Enix hasn't said specifically when we can expect Taking AIM to go live.

The Marvel's Avengers beta was played by 6 million people for a total of more than 27 million hours.
