Marvel, the company behind the fascinating and one of the highest-grossing movie series ever, Avengers has been working on consolidating its roots in the gaming industry. Marvel’s Avengers Game has been in the news for quite some time now as the company is busy showing us glimpses of gameplay of the superheroes featured in the game including Hulk, Thor, Natasha Romanoff, Iron Man, and Captain America. Then just yesterday, Marvel made another major breakthrough in the gaming industry with the announcement of Avengers: Damage Control, a location-based VR experience. And now, Marvel has revealed the sixth-playable character Kamala Khan in the latest announcement trailer.
Kamala Khan aka Ms. Marvel is a teenage Pakistani American from Jersey City, New Jersey with shapeshifting abilities who discovers that she has Inhuman genes. The trailer further sheds light on the fact that she’s the reason why the Avengers reassemble five years after the disastrous events of A-Day. The new trailer uncovers many aspects of the game which Marvel had kept encrypted until now. A spokesperson said:
“If you’ve paid attention, Kamala’s been there since the beginning. “If you carefully watch our campaigns from January 2017, that’s her narrating, that’s her voice. Literally that first voice you hear, people are like ‘who’s this talking’ and then if you look at every piece we’ve done since then, it’s about her, it’s actually her telling you the story.”
The trailer shows how a mysterious Terrigen Gas following a Helicarrier explosion that supposedly killed Captain America was the reason behind Ms. Marvel’s shapeshifting powers. And now, Kamala reunites the shambled Avengers to take down A.I.M.
Marvel’s Avengers is set to release on May 15, 2020, on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
