It's been a good while since Square Enix's troubled live-service action-adventure Marvel's Avengers got itself a new playable hero - its most recent addition...
Marvel’s Avengers is not dead… Well, not yet. Crystal Dynamics has committed a new patch for the PlayStation 5 and PS4 brawler, which is due out on 24th March. This was previously communicated, and will revise the way the War Table works.
