It looks like Marvel’s Avengers players have a lot to look forward to in terms of content and activities! Crystal Dynamics has opened up about the Marvel’s Avengers upcoming update 2.5, and even beyond that title update, and what’s set to come for earth’s mightiest heroes!

While Jane Foster (a.k.a The Might Thor) has been announced to be the next hero inbound for the game, we now know that she’ll be out in “late June!” The Goddess of Thunder will come with her own Hero Challenge Card, a new Heroic mission chain that will reward players with cosmetics and intelligence files that tell this version of Jane Foster found her way into the Marvel’s Avengers universe.

Jane Foster will have her own voice lines in the game, and will have her own cosmetics (emotes, takedowns, nameplates, etc.), and also Jane Foster-specific remixes of Thor’s takedowns and emotes. Check out what Crystal Dynamics has to say about her abilities and how it’ll (understandably) be similar to Thor Odinson:

In our previous update, we revealed that, as Thor, some of Jane’s abilities will naturally echo the Odinson’s.  However, Jane is her own kind of Thor and several design changes set her apart. The biggest differences start with a new Intrinsic, All-Mother’s Blessing, and a new Overcharge ability, God Tempest. Her Ultimate Ability, the All-Weapon, is also brand new as we draw inspiration from her comic runs as Thor and Valkyrie and allow you to smite foes with Undrjarn as well as Mjölnir. Some of Jane’s baseline abilities are also new, including her new ranged combo, and a new ranged power attack.  On top of that, Jane will perform some of the familiar abilities she shares with Odinson with her own signature flair.

More details regarding Jane Foster’s abilities, as well as gameplay will be revealed in the coming weeks with videos, dev blogs and more.

While Jane Foster might be coming in Marvel’s Avengers upcoming update 2.5, the dev team has more planned after that title update. These succeeding patches will focus on hero and villain content updates, and will feature a new Omega Level Threat as well as a new Warzone.

Crystal Dynamics will be adding two new challenges to the story, which will advance the narrive of the hero and villain-focused content. The first one is a villain-focused Warzone that will reveal MODOK’s fate after the defeat of his Kree Sentinel. That will then lead the Avengers to AIM’s Cloning Lab, where  anew Omega Level Threat will face off against a more formidable MODOK in a new multiplayer villain fight.

Cloning Labs will be new end-game content that rewards conquering heroes with high power level gear from brand-new exotic gear sets.

It’s been a long time since the Cloning Lab was first announced.  Since its original conception our design philosophy for the game has evolved to be more villain-forward, and we decided that the design for the mission no longer met our standards.  We think the changes we’re making, especially the new boss fight, will make for a much more satisfying and meaningful Omega Level Threat experience.

Curious how this plays out or what sort of new surprise are in store? The wait won’t be that long, as Crystal Dynamics states that they are sharing details about the next Warzone and Omega Level Threat in the next development update!
