Developer Crystal Dynamics has revealed the improvements coming to War Table breakdown centered around Hawkeye.
Plans were originally in place for Marvel's Avengers' next-gen update to go live in late 2020, but it, along with some post-launch content, received a delay not long after the game hit store shelves. These setbacks and the scarcity of meaningful endgame content contributed to the live service's rapid decline in of its player-count. Suffice it to say, Marvel's Avengers suffered mightily, as did Hawkeye's Future Imperfect campaign and the next-gen updates will provide Marvel's Avengers with the boost it needs remains to be seen.
Crystal Dynamics unveiled the improvements that will feature in the PS5's free upgrade and the console's native version of DualSense's haptic , higher-resolution textures, and improved heroics and armor destruction. In High-Performance Mode, the native version will run 60 FPS at checkerboard 4K, while 4K Mode should run in native 4K. Interestingly, the Xbox versions won't the two graphics modes.
The graphics modes on PS5 seem fairly standard, and the improvements themselves are rather impressive. Still, there's no telling how all of this will affect Marvel's Avengers as a whole. While it could be step in the right direction, the launch of brand-new content will ultimately determine whether lapsed players and newcomers give the live-service another chance.
Apart from the release of Hawkeye's campaign on March 18, not much else is known about future content for the title. Leaks suggest a Black Panther update may be in the works, but neither Crystal Dynamics nor Square Enix have cofirmed as much. Of course, new information about the roap is bound to surface following Future Imperfect's March release.
Marvel's Avengers is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The next-gen updates and native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions are slated to launch on March 18.
