The next Avengers update – coined 2.6 – will be arriving next month – and bring with it the next playable hero, The Winter Solider.
According to the Square Enix blog, the next update is expected to release in September and will introduce ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ Warzone, a new villain-focused adventure for all players.
There is no exact date given, but we now have window as to when we can expect the update to land.
The latest blog post reads: “The Scientist Supreme is running out of resources (and clones) and takes further risks to secure AIM’s power.
“Monica has recovered M.O.D.O.K. from the San Francisco Bay with plans to revive him for use as a weapon against the Avengers. Our heroes must put an end to her plans before the mutation-maddened genius returns.”
The 2.6 update will also tweak the full roster of heroes to ensure they all feel “heroic to play”.
Across the course of a few updates, combat, movement and other features will be tweaked to improve gameplay.
“This will be an ongoing process over several updates as we look at combat, balance, and traversal and make tweaks and changes to make sure every Hero continues to feel like they’ve leapt from the pages of the comics,” the blog reads.
The next playable content will be AIM’s Cloning Lab, which will follow update 2.6.
The bog reads: “As an Omega-Level Threat, it features endgame content that will arrive with new gear and an increased power-level cap, as well as the next step in the conflict between AIM and the Avengers.”
More details about Cloning Lab and the Winter Soldier will arrive as we near the update 2.6. release
