Today's Marvel's Avengers War Table presentation revealed more about the upcoming beta, which sounds like it will be a pretty meaty experience as these things go, with more than 20 solo and co-op missions to take on in the War Zones and HARM Challenge Rooms. But the big news is that Clint Barton, aka Hawkeye, he of the bow and arrow and inspirational speeches, will be coming to the game in a post-launch update.

Crystal Dynamics said that it took particular inspiration from My Life as a Weapon run by Matt Fraction and David Aja. Hawkeye will have his own "in-depth story mission chain," separate from the main campaign, that will be playable solo or co-op modes. The studio suggested during the presentation that other characters will be given similar treatments, saying that "Hawkeye is your first look at how the expanding world of Marvel's Avengers continues to grow after launch." And since the question is bound to be asked, Crystal Dynamics has previously said that post-launch characters like Hawkeye will be free.

I didn't know that there was an Avengers game coming out. Looks really good. I think this update is nice as well.

What do you think?

Sad thing is, Spider-Man is said to be PlayStation exclusive and won't be on the PC or Xbox One versions. Which kind of sucks because Spider-Man is probably the best of the bunch. Sure I'll take Hawkeye, but I still would like to see Spider-Man on all consoles. 😞

Looks like more "Live Service" trash to me, which is a shame because Crystal Dynamics is a bloody good developer.  Then there's the aforementioned Sony platform exclusive Spiderman bullshit.  Much like Anthem this is going to a waste of good talent and license as well.

I agree. But I have a feeling it's going to do fine. The spider-man thing is a major blow, it makes Sony look childish. Especially considering that Spider-Man has been on an Xbox console, so them pinning him to just the PS4 version, seems pretty lame to me. 

I don't agree with them adding characters later either. It just shows they care about the money. Why not just have the whole avengers crew?
