Square Enix has announced the release of a new threat update for Marvel’s Avengers that players must face: The Cosmic Cube. During Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Hawkeye – Future Imperfect, the Avengers revealed the threat of a terrifying new weapons project undertaken by AIM and Scientist Supreme Monica Rappaccini: The Cosmic Cube. First revealed in the Tales of Suspense #79 in July 1966, this incredibly powerful element is capable of controlling matter and energy in the universe on an unknown scale. And now, in the hands of advanced idea mechanics’ crazy genius brain.
Marvel’s Avengers update adds a new villain to the game
It’s time for players to take control of Cosmic Cube from Monica in “Beating the Odds,” a new Villain Sector mission available today. But the weapon’s immense power made him an even greater threat, requiring the Avengers to use their intelligence and heroic powers to defeat him alone or as a team of up to four players.
In addition to the new Villain Sector, the limited-time Cosmic Threat Event will start on June 24 and continueuntil July 8. During the Cosmic Threat Event, players must travel the world in search of traces of Cosmic energy caused by Monica’s super weapon, cosmic cube. Players who participate in special Cosmic Threat Event missions and complete Cosmic Damage challenges will receive a unique animated nameplate, gear, and other valuable rewards as they get closer and challenge AIM’s efforts to use Cosmic Cube.
This new Cosmic Cube content continues Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Hawkeye – Future Imperfect story in February and lays the groundwork for upcoming releases, including Marvel’s Avengers Expansion: Black Panther – War for Wakanda, which will be released in August.
