Hope your spidey senses were tingling for these images…

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have released the first images for their upcoming Marvel’s Avengers DLC that includes the exclusive character, Spider-Man.

Fans became excited last week when the release date for the DLC titled “With Great Power” was announced, and now they get to be even more excited by these images.

With Great Power DLC

With Great Power DLC references the iconic slogan used in the original Spider-Man’s comic and will be released on November 30 and is exclusive to PS4 and PS5.

The released image gives fans a glimpse of Spider-Man’s outfit, which largely follows the high-tech designs from recent media such as the Spider-Man films and Insomniac’s Spider-Man games. It also looks as though this version of Peter Parker will be a new interpretation of the character. One notable difference is the hands and soles of his costume feature a black, rubber-like protective material. Spider-Man is also starring alongside noticeable, Marvel characters in the backshot too.

It was also confirmed a while back the With Great Power DLC will feature an interesting story and new cutscenes. Previously, Square Enix released the War for Wakanda DLC which added a new storyline and superhero, Black Panther, voiced by Christopher Judge, who played Kratos from God of War. Spider-Man’s voice actor has not been announced, yet we’ll likely get to hear Peter Parker’s voice in the upcoming reveal trailer.

Get you pictures of Spider-Man? How about just one, but like a really good really really epic one. 📸

The post Marvel’s Avengers: First Images of Spider-Man DLC Released first appeared on Get2Gaming.

We have known for some time that Spiderman is on his way to the somewhat lackluster “Marvel’s Avengers” video game by square enix, but now, at long last we have a release date.

As revealed in the most recent roadmap update posted to Twitter, Spiderman will Launch on the 30th of november 2021 as a part of the games next major event. That being said, this is only for PlayStation 4 and 5 players. PC and Xbox players will not see Spiderman enter the game due to Sony owning the rights to the character and Holding an Iron fist over them. Between the ever growing doubt of Spiderman’s Continued existence in the Marvel Cinematic universe and now this, Sony seems hell bent on Controlling Everything to do with the character.

The Event will be titled “Spider man: With Great Power Hero Event” (which really rolls of the tongue) and will follow Spidey as he uncovers an Aims conspiracy to Build a “Synthoid army”. It has also been suggested that Spidey will develop a close friendship with Kamala Khan Miss Marvel and Black widow, while simultaneously trying to keep his identity from them both.

Everything else about spider man’s addition to the game, including his appearance, is being kept under wraps but developer Crystal Dynamics.

Marvels Avengers has had a rough Time recently, with controversy over the selling of XP boosters and “Pay to Win mechanics” in the game, although as of yesterday it has come out that these are being removed from the game.

PlayStation 5 players will also get to see the sequel to 2018’s “Marvels Spiderman” in 2023, which will see Peter and Miles take on Venom.

5 Black Game Characters You Might Have Heard of

Black History Month is coming to an end and we think it’s time to have some appreciation posts rolling in for the games industry. We don’t get to hear much about the representation of black characters in video games too often. This month we’ve decided to put a number of games that have amazing black main protagonists or characters in games.

1. Dr Eva Rosalene – To The Moon

Source: Steam

Dr Eva Rosalene is one of the three main protagonists in ‘To The Moon‘. She is not only witty, but she’s smart and observant, she also shares a loving bond with her partner Dr Neil Watts. She plays a massive role in the story and To The Moon is a story-driven game developed by Freebird Games, and is about two doctors who travel through an old man’s memories to fulfil his dying wish. There is also the sequel called Finding Paradise, where Dr Eva Rosalene makes her return.

4. Barret Wallace – Final Fantasy 7 Remake

Source: Square Enix

Barret Wallace VA played by John Eric Bentley, and is a supporting character in Final Fantasy 7 Remake and certainly a very memorable one. Despite his strong attitude, rash decisions and he may not be the brightest at times, but there is one thing for sure. Barret cares about his family, he cares about his team and he cares about society, which is why he is working so hard to do what he does. Barret goes through a lot of character development and you go from hating Barret to eventually loving his character.  Final Fantasy is one of the biggest JRPG franchises at the moment, Final Fantasy 7 Remake being a very popular one and even owned a spot on the PlayStation 5.

3. Spider-Man Miles Morales

Source: Insomniac Games

Spider-Man Miles Morales VA by Nadji Jeter, we couldn’t leave him out. Miles is a great example of character development, the gameplay is carried by the wild, young, personality of Miles and his heroic actions after being dumped with a bunch or huge responsibilities…like saving the city. Spider-Man Miles Morales has been one of the best PlayStation Games sold and is in the top 10 of the best games for the PS5 so far.

4. Frey Holland – Forspoken

Recently at the PlayStation Showcase, Forspoken – a next-gen game had a gameplay trailer, starring Ella Balinska who is voice acting the main protagonist – Frey Holland in Forspoken. She is not only a voice actor but she has been working to help the game feel alive through her body movements, facial expressions with performance capture and much more. Ella is also well known for her acting in various movies such as Charlie’s Angels, The Athena and British TV series Midsomer Murders.  Forspoken will without a doubt be one of the biggest games to release by Square Enix in 2022, it’s lovely to see a black female protagonist coming up in such a great title.

5. Black Panther

Source: Square Enix

Lastly, we have another Hero from the Marvel Universe and that is Black Panther. In Marvel’s Avengers, an expansion pack DLC was released for Black Panther, named War of Wakanda. The Voice Actor is Christopher Judge, who is well known for his acting in The Dark Knight Rises, Stargate and Stargate: The Ark of Truth. War of Wakanda is a great DLC and is highly recommended. Not only is Black Panther seen as a hero, but he is seen as a leader who offers guidance to his community, as we know very well after having seen from the movies.

Thanks for Reading!

Marvel’s Avengers is known for its variety of skins available and now it’s getting into the spooky season…

Crystal Dynamics has released the first Halloween-themed skin for its action role-playing brawler game, Marvel’s Avengers, and fans cannot wait to get a hold of it.

Marvel’s Avengers tend to take inspiration for its skins from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, yet sometimes it also takes it from the comic books, and this is one of those occasions. The video game published by Square Enix is constantly receiving updates and new content released in ties with the Marvel Cinematic Universe and also expanding upon the Marvel universe available in the game for players to earn or purchase.

Capwolf

The new skin design is based on a Captain America comic from 1992 where Captain America is depicted as a werewolf on the cover of Captain America issue 405. There are some differences as Captain America’s fur on the comic book was black and the fur for the skin is white, yet carries the iconic concept over to the video game well and is possibly the most extravagant design the game has seen as of yet.

In a harrowing tale from comics back in 1992,
Steve Rogers turned into Capwolf on a daring quest pursued.
It's a story now made famous with its highly unusual case,
Get the Capwolf Outfit on October 21 in the Marketplace! 🐺 pic.twitter.com/Y0qlZriRL5

— Marvel's Avengers (@PlayAvengers) October 20, 2021

It is available to purchase from today in the Marketplace, yet it has still not been stated the price or whether it will be a rare, epic, or legendary skin.

It is highly possible that this is only the beginning of Halloween-themed skins available on offer, and with the recent zombie episode in the Disney+ Marvel show, What If…?, we might be seeing more horrific designs our way.

The official Twitter account for Marvel’s Avengers also tweeted that The Cosmic Threat Event is making its return from today until November 4th and gives fans the chance to earn Thor’s Enhancement Outfit and spooky nameplates along with it!

Fans of Marvel’s Avengers are also anticipating the video game’s first raid event that is meant to be happening sometime soon and will feature Klaw from Black Panther comics/movie as the antagonist.

The post Marvel’s Avengers: New Skins for Halloween Have Arrived first appeared on Get2Gaming.

Over the last 30 days Square Enix’s “Avengers” game, which at one point looked like a promising game, has struggled to break over 800 concurrent players on steam. Even with the boost of new players from the game coming to XBox game pass, “Avengers” has been doing worse and worse as the months go on.

And it just gets worse. Shortly after the game came to XBox Game Pass, Square updated “Avengers” to sell XP boosters, in a stark betrayal of a promise made in june of 2019, that the game would “Wont have won’t have random loot boxes or pay to win scenarios”

The XP boosters price varies, costing between 100 Credits to 500 Credits, or roughly $5 in real money. This also comes after a massive nerf to XP rates back in March, under the guise that the XP rate was “Too confusing” for new players.

Some players also worry that this marks a shift in direction, and that the free consumables offered currently will eventually be phased out, in favour of the game going for a full Free-to-play style.

While there is some debate as to if this change does constitute “Pay to Win”, given the game does not have any PVP, it is undeniable that the reception has been overwhelmingly negative. One reddit user, FantasticMeddler, wrote “SE and CD decided a long time ago that new players were their priority and those of us that pre ordered were paid beta testers. They could give a fuck for any existing players except the whales.”

Another, Motor_Structure7156 wrote in a separate post “They blatantly and repeatedly stated there would be no Loot Boxes or Pay-to-win mechanics. Labeling it `Pay-to-progress-a-bit-faster` is more accurate perhaps but it does not negate the lie that they told. If I am ignorant or disingenuous for calling a spade a spade and not a `human-tool digging interface appliance` then so be it.

As the game struggles to find a footing amid numerous other controversies, this will definitely not help “Avengers” in the long term. The game has struggled to hit a chord with any player base and came out into a market saturated with heavy hitters like “Destiny 2”, “Warframe” and “Borderlands”, so even this potentially drop-in-the-ocean controversy will be a big problem for the game going forward.

The post Avengers adds XP Boosters, Despite Promises first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The post Cutscenes and an intriguing story for Marvel’s Avengers’ Spider-Man DLC first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The highly-anticipated DLC for Marvel’s Avengers drops in under 24 hours and there is now an insight into what we can expect

A familiar face is about to join Marvel’s Avengers in ways fans have yet to experience him.

War for Wakanda DLC is the latest instalment that will be added to the action role-playing brawler video game. Developed by Crystal Dynamics and published by Square Enix, we shall also be reunited with the Black Panther himself, T’challa, voiced by Christopher Judge.

Comic Book Resources (CBR) spoke to the development team behind War for Wakanda, explaining what fans can expect from the DLC in terms of the gameplay and the characters involved.

War For Wakanda DLC

Hannah MacLeod, Writer, stated that the biggest thing the development team wanted to focus on was how T’Challa comes with an entire nation and go into depth with his character through that. She also mentions the team wanted to focus on how the characters fit into the overall story side of things with the Kree invasion (the main story arc in the DLC), and not just from a fan’s point of view.

Scott Walters, Senior Designer, goes onto explain how T’Challa addition to Marvel’s Avengers works with the rest of the Avengers and how they didn’t want to make anyone underpowered or overpowered because, “at the end of the day, we want everyone to have fun regardless of the hero they pick.”

T’Challa is going to be very much about buffing and debuffing both players and enemies alike. His skills of combat include; light combo, heavy combo, range attacks, and heroics. Walters goes onto describe if fans want to gain the most out of Black Panther, they will need to learn “the nuance of the skills, the rotation in which to apply them, and how to maintain all of those buffs and debuffs to be most effective.”

Players will get to play as Black Panther as well as explore the Wakanda biome, a brand new biome that stands out from all the biome previously featured, due to being outside of the US, and features the “technological utopia blended with nature” fans see in the MCU adaptation.

Also from the MCU adaption, we met Ulysses Klaue, who will be the main enemy for players to defeat but will see him in a new, unexplored light.

He was also really fun to tap into just in terms of his personal vendetta against Wakanda. It’s so similar to T’Challa’s backstory; they’ve both lost fathers to things that they consider unfair. It makes them almost alike enough to be dangerous, almost as if they’re too similar to be in the same room without butting heads. It wasn’t about just getting a big bad to punch; Klaue is someone who could say just the right things to make T’Challa snap. – Scott Walters, CBR.

Ulysses will be incredibly tech-savvy in the game with his sonic technology that the development team had fun creating a new damage type and a new enemy archetype. Players can expect to fight enemies with this sonic technology along with drones that will disorientate the player which you can tackle in solo or multiplayer.

A level of customisation can be expected for players with heroic upgrades and to the skills as well as through gear perks for players to tailor and fit T’Challa to fit their playstyle.

With the new War for Wakanda DLC attracting more Black Panther only fans, and this DLC being the latest instalment to a long campaign game, the development team wanted to make the campaign accessible to those playing the DLC by including the option to easily access it from the main menu. Fans that only want to play the War for Wakanda DLC can expect some spoilers from the main campaign but will be free to enjoy it for the DLC only nonetheless.

War for Wakanda DLC will be available on August 17 and added to Marvel’s Avengers at no additional cost for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Stadia and PC.

The post Marvel’s Avengers: An Insight into Black Panther’s War For Wakanda DLC first appeared on Get2Gaming.

More information has been released for Marvel’s Avengers Black Panther DLC

The long-awaited Black Panther DLC comes to Marvel’s Avengers next month and new information has been released regarding what players can expect.

If you aren’t familiar with the game, Marvel’s Avengers, developed by Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix, is an action role-playing brawler game that came out last year and features a wide array of classic superheroes that is constantly releasing DLCs for fans to enjoy.

War for Wakanda DLC

Black Panther’s T’Challa was one of the most highly anticipated characters to appear on the roster after its initial release, however, with the sudden passing of Chadwick Boseman last year, the developers decided to postpone the release. Currently, the future of Marvel’s Avengers is unknown after reports of staff moving to an unannounced project by Crystal Dynamics and the game’s sales decreasing, but the studio is on track to bring Wakanda to the game.

In order to give Marvel’s Avengers’ T’Challa his own unique perspective and help craft the game’s story, Square Enix hired Evan Narcisse as a Narrative Consultant and looked to his Rise of the Black Panther 2018 comic. In this, T’Challa is already well-established as the Black Panther and Wakanda’s ruler. He lacks a certain sense of doubt, thinking he has all the answers, and Narcisse explains that is the source of some of Wakanda’s troubles:

I think one of the cool things in this expansion is there’s tension between him and Shuri like we haven’t seen before about how best to move Wakanda forward. – Evan Narcisse

Ulysses Klaw, played by Andy Serkis in the MCU version, will also be making an appearance in the DLC. He also gains a corrupted vibranium form that gives him similar powers to those in the comics.

Christopher Judge to voice T’Challa

It has also been released in an interview with Entertainment Weekly that God of War‘s voice actor  Christoper Judge will be lending his voice to the role of T’Challa. In the interview, he explains how he initially turned the role down due to being fearful of being compared to the late Chadwick Boseman, yet has decided to let his performance stand on its own.

The War for Wakanda DLC releases in August and will hopefully enrich Marvel’s Avengers with new storylines and iconic worldbuilding.

Fans can be introduced to Evan Narcisse and Christopher Judge in a livestream later today on the Crystal Dynamics Twitch channel, at 17:30 GMT.

me and god-king @iamchrisjudge are going to be on the @PlayAvengers Twitch livestream tomorrow talking about #BlackPanther and War for Wakanda. https://t.co/ittoLQdB0p

The post A Closer Look At Marvel’s Avengers War for Wakanda DLC first appeared on Get2Gaming.

The latest Marvel patch (patch 1.8.0) has reportedly introduced a bug that displays players IP addresses, and Crystal Dynamics have warned players not to stream the game for the time being.

Marvel’s Avengers is a 2020 action role-playing brawler game that is currently hosting a Cosmic Cube event and released an update this week. Within it, the update follows trails of Cosmic energy and sees the Avengers track down the new villain, Monica, and her secret weapon the Cosmic Cube to stop her from creating an imperfect future. There is also a Cosmic Threat event that will take place from June 24 to July 8, featuring altered missions that will have players searching in different Threat Sectors while being saturated with Cosmic energy.

However, the update that was released on Tuesday has also introduced a bug that displays sensitive player information on-screen for other players to see.

Crystal Dynamics, the game’s developer, has been tweeting updates for the past 24 hours in order to keep fans informed on what they are doing to correct this problem. They discovered it is only affecting PS5 players so far, but it is advised to not play until this problem is rectified.

We’re aware of the issue where a floating string of text appears on the screen and are investigating. Please refrain from streaming for now if you’re experiencing this issue. We will update when this issue has been resolved. – Crystal Dynamics

The latest update states a hotfix is to happen today at 8 AM PT / 11AM ET/ 4PM BST. 

We are currently testing a solution to the issue of personal information, including the player's IP address and username, being displayed on screen on PS5 and plan to deploy a hotfix tomorrow at around 8AM PT.

— Marvel's Avengers (@PlayAvengers) June 22, 2021

Forbes reporter Paul Tassi shared a screenshot of what the bug looks like in action, calling it the worst bug he has ever heard of and ‘this is legitimately “shut the game off” bad’.

this is legitimately "shut the game off" bad pic.twitter.com/o22YOeLwuL

— Paul Tassi Must Be Stopped (@PaulTassi) June 22, 2021

People getting ahold of your IP address can cause all manor of havoc with your internet connection with DDOS attacks, or potentially get their hands on other information. I don’t know what the other string of numbers that appears alongside it due to this bug is, but I imagine that can’t be good either. – Paul Tassi

Please hold out on playing the game until Crystal Dynamics has given the all-clear.
