Marvel’s Avengers Adding The Winter Soldier Later this Month

Crystal Dynamics has revealed that the Winter Soldier is set to make his way to Marvel’s Avengers alongside the Omega-Level Cloning Lab threat later this month. The hero will join the ranks of the Avengers just in time for the raid-like endgame event that is set to go live at the end of this month. The Winter Soldier will be voiced by Friday Night Lights & Lego Marvel’s Avengers actor Scott Porter.

The blog post details what the Omega-Level Cloning Labwill entail, saying:

“This Omega-Level Threat is a new endgame challenge headlined by a climactic confrontation with the deranged genius to end the danger once and for all. The Lab is a challenging AIM base that players will navigate before facing off one last time against MODOK in a grand multiplayer fight. MODOK has developed new tactics since players confronted him in San Francisco, and is designed to test our heroes in this new four-against-one fight.

As an OLT, Cloning Lab is designed to push a team of four high-level heroes, though it will be of similar accessible length to our previous OLT, Family Reunion. Cloning Lab requires Power Level 175 to enter [and] will reward both new gear and higher-level gear than ever before, with the power-level cap increasing to 185.”

The blog post details what players can expect to see from Bucky Barnes as he joins Cap and the Avengers, saying:

“He adds to the roster an almost purely assault-focused hero focused on dealing damage to his enemies in a variety of ways. Players will find multiple different builds and playstyles to embody that character fantasy, from the ranged marksman to an expert hand-to-hand combatant, to the deadly super-soldier. While echoes of Bucky’s past training partners like Captain America and Black Widow can be seen in some of his move-set, he has made them his own and combined them with skills that flow from his Winter Soldier indoctrination and his cybernetic enhancements.” 

The Winter Soldier will of course come packed with his own animations, skill tree, and abilities that will suit the supersoldier superhero. Players will also get to complete his hero mission that “sees the Avengers help him regain his confidence in his capacity for good and deal with the trauma inflicted on him by his captors.”

The Winter Soldier and Omega-Level Cloning Lab will be available in Marvel’s Avengers 2.7 update which will release on November 29, 2022.
