Marvel’s Avengershas been a tumultuous game. For example, some fans are dissatisfied with the cosmetic loot marketplaces and the lack of unique Villain Sectors inMarvel’s Avengers. However, Square Enix has demonstrated that it has been listening to at least some feedback, and will be permanently integrating a fan-favorite feature that debuteda couple of months ago.
Marvel’s Avengers' Tachyon Anomaly Eventwas first introduced back in April, and allowed fans to play as any number of repeated characters in multiplayer matchmaking. For instance, a four-player online Strike Team during the Tachyon Anomaly Event could consist of two Thors and two Hawkeyes, four Black Widows, or any combination that players wanted. Ultimately, this made it so fans were not locked out of a particular character that they wished to play when entering a queue with other players.

Square Enix discussed its Summer 2021content roadmap forMarvel’s Avengers,which showcases different events and updates occurring in the upcoming months. Within this discussion, Square Enix announced that the choice of being able to play as any combination of characters inMarvel’s Avengers' online matchmaking will be activated permanently going forward. Fans who enjoyed that the Tachyon Anomaly Event enabled more freedom when selecting characters in matchmaking may be excited for this to become a regular feature in July.
July already brings the Omega-Level Threat: Family Reunion event. This lands the character selection feature between Multiplayer Mega Hives and theMarvel Cinematic Universe skins being added toMarvel’s Avengers. The War for Wakanda Expansion arrives in August. With the Tachyon Anomaly feature implemented in time for the expansion, players will seemingly be able to join multiplayer matchmaking and Strike Teams with a team assembled of only Black Panthers if they wish.
Square Enix stated that more information about this feature will be addressed in July, when it is scheduled to be implemented. Square Enix also intends to release the next roadmap forMarvel’s Avengersin the coming months. Fans may be excited to hear more news aboutSpider-Man joiningMarvel’s Avengers, as little information regarding the character has been addressed since his announcement.
Until then, fans may also be excited for the War for Wakanda expansion. Black Panther’s addition to the game will usher in the largest content expansion thatMarvel’s Avengershas received since launch, such as a Wakandan Jungle Biome and Outpost, and a new story featuring the villain Ulysses Klaw. Based on Square Enix’s roadmap,Marvel’s Avengersfans still have a lot to look forward to in 2021.
Marvel’s Avengersis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
