　　Now Playing: Marvel's Avengers Video Review

　　On Xbox Series X, the only option available is a Native 4K mode, while Xbox Series S will have a Native 1440p resolution option. It's not clear yet which frame rate the Xbox Series X will support for the upgraded version of Avengers. All next-gen versions will have significantly faster load times according to Square Enix's official charts, improved lighting features, higher resolution textures, and cross-gen save file support.

Clint Barton's mission to stop a Kree invasion takes place across time itself and will see the Avengers clash with the Hulk's malevolent future incarnation known as the Maestro.

　　Barton's skill set is similar to that of his protégé Kate Bishop aka also Hawkeye, who was added to the game at the end of 2020. The key difference here is that Barton has a much larger selection of arrows in his quiver, which includes boomerang arrows, implosion arrows, tripwire shots, rocket arrows, pulsar arrows, nightstorm arrows, recovery arrows, and even an AI-guided arrow that can strike multiple targets as part of his ultimate ability.

　　Most importantly, Lucky the Pizza Dog will also make his debut next month:
