Here is everything we know about upcoming Marvel's Avengers game DLC.

Avengers game Spider-Man DLC

Let's start with everyone's favourite web-slinger, Spider-Man. Peter Parker was one of the first post-launch characters to be revealed by Square Enix, but there's bad news for anyone playing on PC or Xbox One; Spider-Man is a PS4 exclusive. The good news is he's free!

Spider-Man will be coming to PlayStation players in early 2021, but it's important to distinguish between this version of Spider-Man in Marvel's Avengers, and the standalone Spider-Man game from Insomniac Games. The two aren't connected in any way, so expect this Spider-Man to have his own unique abilities and powers.

The fourth and final character that has been confirmed by Square Enix to be coming to Marvel's Avengers DLC is Black Panther. We don't know when he'll be coming — after Clint Barton is our guess — but we do know that he's definitely coming at some point. In a launch week War Table presentation, Square Enix paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman, explaining that they were going to show off the character but instead decide to postpone it. Absolutely the right decision and we can't wait to play as T'Challa later down the line.

Avengers DLC: Leaked characters

In a now-deleted Reddit post, one user dug up a list of future playable characters from the beta (thanks, Eurogamer). The full list of unconfirmed characters is below:

  • Ant-Man
  • Captain Marvel
  • Doctor Strange
  • Falcon
  • Hulkbuster
  • Mar-Vell
  • Mockingbird
  • Quake
  • Scarlet Witch
  • She-Hulk
  • Vision
  • War Machine
  • Wasp
  • Winter Soldier

Don't take this list as gospel since ideas and features get cut from games frequently, but we at least know these are in contention.

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
