Bucky enters the fray
A new hero joins the lineup ofMarvel’s Avengersat the end of the month. Bucky Barnes, the Winter Soldier, will arrive inMarvel’s Avengerson November 29.
The2.7 updatewill add the once-frozen warrior toAvengersas a playable hero, alongside the Cloning Lab Omega-Level Threat. Bucky will also have his own chain of missions, which will reward an iconic outfit once completed.
The Winter Soldier will be voiced by Scott Porter, who also lent his voice to Bucky inLego Marvel’s Avengers. As for his playstyle, he’s apparently an “assault-focused hero” who loves to do damage.
The Omega-Level Threat of the Cloning Lab carries on the MODOK storyline. It’s an endgame encounter meant for a squad of players to tackle, and will require Power Level 175 to enter.

Bucky is the latest hero to joinMarvel’s Avengers, since Jane Foster’s Thor took the fieldearlier this year. That brings the total hero count up to 12, if counting the PlayStation-exclusive Spider-Man.
