Marvel Avengers fans are eager to discover the release dates for the next next generation versions of the game, which were originally due to be released last year, but have been delayed to work on fixes and updates for the main game. The game can be played on PS5 and Xbox Series X at the moment, but it has not been optimized for either console, although we now know when we will discover the exact release dates for both optimized versions, and it is right around the corner.
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics recently revealed that the next War Table will focus on the content of Hawkeye’s Imperfect Future story, and the War Table will take place on February 16. The good news is that we’ll also find out the next generation’s release date during the event, something the developers confirmed during a recent live stream of the gameplay (via @PlayAvenger).
To clear the mess: Clint and the next generation will have the release dates announced on the 16th, not that it will be released on the 16th

Another noteworthy item about the next generation versions is that tactile feedback will also be included in the PS5 version of the game for each character.

Looking at Kate Bishop’s programming, the war table took place on November 19 and the actual content was released on December 8. If a similar format is followed, since the War Table arrives on February 16, the content would be released in the first week of March, perhaps March 5, although this could obviously be changed.
As for the next generation, if the content is released in March, an ideal launch point for the next generation would be April or late March, so it will be released on PS5 and Series X with new content immediately, but we’ll have to wait and see.
You can find the official description of the Marvel Avengers below.
Marvel’s Avengers are a unique approach to these iconic superheroes, including Captain America, Iron Man, the Hulk, Black Widow and Thor. This character-driven story celebrates Marvel’s authentic heroism and humanity in a cinematic campaign filled with single-player and co-op missions.
