November 29 is just a few days away and for fans of Marvel’s Avengers, that means a brand new hero is almost here. Update 2.7 is going to be a massive one for the Marvel-themed adventure game, and leading up to the update, there are some exciting activities going on to keep fans engaged while they wait for Bucky’s arrival.
Week #117 update to Marvel’s Avengers lays the groundwork for the debut of the Winter Soldier. The Red Room Takeover is back again (this time replacing the Corrupted Vibranium limited time event) and players can go through the event quests to earn some nice rewards. In addition to the Red Room Takeover activities, this is also a great week to catch up thanks to one of the game’s biggest experience bonuses going live.
During the week, players will have the chance to take advantage of the Quad XP and Double Resources bonuses. This means it’s a great time to beef up your entire roster, earn all the necessary levels, and start stacking up powerful gear to get everyone ready for the 2.7 content. Many players will want to shift their focus to the Winter Soldier when he arrives, so the next few days would be a great time to catch up on the last one on the roster before the big debut.
