The new update will add a raid, a new hero event, and Spidey himself.
Spider-Man will be included as a new PlayStation-exclusive hero in Marvel’s Avengers Patch 2.2, which will be released on the 30th of November. Since the release of Black Panther: War for Wakanda on August 17, this will be the first expansion for Square Enix’s live-service game.
Spideys storyline will be revealed in an event dubbed Spider-Man: With Great Power. His in-game plot will revolve around collaborating with the Avenger’s crew to thwart AIM’s plans for a powerful Synthoid army. There will also reportedly be some personal drama involved where Spiderman will have to decide if he will continue on with The Avengers or go it solo.
Spider-man was first announced as a playable character over a year ago prior to the game’s launch even. The Spiderman update is more than just spidey as a playable character though, it will also include a new hero event with its own story and the game’s first raid, as well as some hefty updates to numerous systems.
The raid included in the update will be called the “Klaw “ Raid and will include the evil villain Klaw as the main antagonist after he returns to the Vibranium Mound after the vents of the War For Wakanda expansion. and once you have defeated him you will then obtain the game’s Highest -end Gear.
The system updates will be as follows:
- Power-Level Increase: The maximum Power Level will increase from 150 to 175.
- Gear Upgrading: Gear of a higher power level will be recyclable and can be used to upgrade current gear to match the higher-power level of the consumed item (with a few exceptions).
- Shipments: Costing 500 Units each, Shipments contain select Cosmetics, resources, and other items. Players will be able to view what’s in each Shipment box before purchase. There will also be a premium Outfit available only via Shipment purchases. Players can earn it two ways. The first is luck: Each Shipment box has a small chance of containing the Outfit. The second method is to reach 100 Shipment purchases. Players will then be automatically gifted the exclusive Outfit.
- Per-Hero Weekly Objectives: Players can now farm weekly rewards once a week for each eligible Hero in limited scenarios, which is different from the previous policy of one Hero per week. This policy will first be limited to Super Adaptoid Mission Chain and the Klaw Raid: Discordant Sound, but may expand to other activities in the future.
Fans of the Marvel’s Avengers series can expect all of these big upgrades on the 30th of November, so there are just a few weeks to wait for those die-hard Spider-Man fans out there.
