Marvel’s Avengers launched on consoles and computers last year, but there were some notable absences in this game about Earth’s mightiest heroes.
One of the biggest omissions was Hawkeye, who did not feature in the game at launch, but that is about to change as the archery-obsessed Avengers is on his way.
He’ll take centre stage in a new DLC chapter, titled Operation Hawkeye: Future Imperfect, which will see the bow-wielding hero battling to save the present and the future from baddies aplenty.
But when can we play the new Avengers game DLC, and what evil forces will Hawkeye be trying to take down? Read on for all you need to know, True Believers.
Avengers game Hawkeye DLC release date: when is Future Imperfect released?
Well, March 18th is a day that fans of the game will already have in their heads as that is when the shiny new next-gen upgrade for the game takes place for those who own an Xbox Series X or a PS5. It is also the day that Future Imperfect gets released – so less than a month to go now until we can play it! Oh, and did we mention it is free? If you own the game already, you won’t have to fork out a single penny to play it. We don’t know the exact time yet, but we’d hope to see the update pop up in the morning at some point.
Avengers game Hawkeye DLC price: Is it free?
Yes! For players that have already bought the main game, the Operation Hawkeye: Future Imperfect DLC will not cost you anything extra. The Hawkeye DLC is free, just like every other piece of post-launch story content that the publishers at Square Enix have promised. This should, in theory, keep players coming back to the game at regular intervals.
What is the Future Imperfect story?
The story picks up after the events of the first DLC we had back in December, Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Kate Bishop – Taking AIM, and focuses on Clint’s search for the missing Nick Fury.
As per the official synopsis: “Clint finds himself wrapped up in a time-bending experiment, journeying to a future Earth, known as the Wasteland, destroyed by cosmic forces and inhabited by Maestro, an older, twisted version of Hulk who is as smart as he is strong.”
That sounds like an evil version of the Hulk, with a glorious beard, similar to the way that Marvel’s big green rage monster was portrayed in the Old Man Logan comic books.
Future Imperfect marks chapter two of the season one DLC content for the game, so look for more announcements, and new characters, announced soon as the story continues. We already know that Spider-Man is coming to PlayStation copies of the game, and Black Panther has been strongly hinted too.
Who is the Clint Barton Hawkeye voice actor?
The Avengers game voice cast is totally different to the MCU movie cast, so the dulcet tones of Jeremy Renner will not be heard here. Voicing Hawkeye in the game is Giacomo Gianniotti. He has provided voice work for the Uncharted series previously and will be known to fans of hospital drama Grey’s Anatomy, where he plays Andrew DeLuca. He already popped up in the Kate Bishop DLC, but it’ll be fun to see him take centre stage on March 18th.
