Spoiler Alert! The Marvel?s Avengers WAR TABLE gave a sneak peek at one of the first heroes that will be added to the game after launch at no additional cost: Clint Barton?s Hawkeye. In an original story-arc inspired by some of the best-known Hawkeye moments in the comics, players wield Clint?s iconic high-tech bow and trick arrows in missions either solo or co-op online with friends. Hawkeye?s story will continue to move the entire Marvel?s Avengers narrative world forward, and all new missions are accessible with the entire roster of playable heroes. More information about this and additional post-launch content, including the new villain and other content debuting with Hawkeye?s story, will be available soon.
