\"Jane <\/p>\n

Platform:<\/b> PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X\/S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Stadia, PC
Publisher:<\/b> Square Enix
Developer:<\/b> Crystal Dynamics, Eidos Montreal
Release:<\/b>

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have revealed that Jane Foster will be the next playable hero in Marvel\u2019s Avengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She will be the first new addition since Spider-Man, the PlayStation exclusive hero<\/a> released following last summer\u2019s War For Wakanda expansion, which brought Black Panther into the fold<\/a>. As for when to expect Jane Foster\u2019s Mighty Thor, Crystal Dynamics says sometime after Update 2.5, which will be released sometime after Update 2.4 hits the game next month.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cBeyond that will be Update 2.5, and while we\u2019ll be coming back with specifics on timing later, we can share that it will introduce a new playable Hero for all platforms: Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor,\u201d Crystal Dynamics\u2019 blog post<\/a> reads. \u201cOur Hero designs are driven first and foremost by their core comic book identities, so, as a fellow wielder of Mjolnir, her suite of abilities will have a lot in common with Odinson\u2019s, however she will also have elements that are distinctly Jane. More details on how Jane will come to life in our game will be coming in the future.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elsewhere in the blog post, Crystal Dynamics details Update 2.4, which is currently targeting a May release.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cEvents like Cosmic Threat, Tachynon Anomaly, and Corrupted Vibranium helped build a backbone to Marvel\u2019s Avengers\u2019 first year, allowing us to add variety to the Avengers Initiative and giving new and different goals to chase with your squadmates,\u201d the blog post reads. \u201cAs they\u2019ve entered into a rotational calendar this year, we want to make sure they stay fresh and compelling for replays. So, in Update 2.4, we\u2019ll be reworking the systems behind those events with the goal of making them more rewarding. Combined with the improved game loop introduced in 2.3, we think these new rewards will make a meaningful change of pace for veteran players, and a great way to gear up for newer players.\u201d<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what Crystal Dynamics has to say in regards to upcoming Update 2.4 reworks<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/p>\n
