Today during the Marvel's Avengers War Table live stream, we learned that Kate Bishop will be one of the new post-launch heroes added to the game. She will actually be the first new hero introduced to the game. Bishop, as with every other post-launch hero addition, will be free to everyone that owns the game.
Kate's Operation, entitled "Taking AIM" will begin in late October. This will also include a new villain and a new mystery. Bishop will include distinct Heroic Skills and takedowns "that only an Olympic-caliber gymnast and master archer like Kate can pull off."
After Bishop will come Clint Barton's Hawkeye and his own story arc. Hawkeye will be released in November and will "lay the groundwork for what's next."
Also discussed today are Villain Sectors, SHIELD Vaults, AIM's Secret Lab, and Mega Hives. Get ready for an info dump because that's precisely what we have for you right now!
Villain Sectors are special missions that provide epic showdowns with powerful bosses that players will want to return to as their Heroes get closer to the game’s power-level cap of 150, while SHIELD Vaults are treasure troves of resources, gear, and secrets that must be discovered and unlocked.
Players looking to test their mettle will look forward to teaming up with three friends to tackle AIM’s Secret Lab, a mission only accessible after reaching the game’s highest power levels. Available once a week, the AIM Secret Lab raid will culminate in a massive boss fight influenced by how well players’ teams performed throughout the mission.
Mega Hives will put players’ full Super Hero roster to the test as they fight their way through a gauntlet of descending floors packed with enemies. The farther they go down, the higher the difficulty goes up, and once all their Heroes are defeated, players will have to start over from the very beginning.
