THE gameplay is described as particularly fast, with constantly evolving battlefields and destructible environments (Asgard and Tokyo in 2099 for example). Skills Team-Up will highlight synergies between characters like Rocket amount on Groot or Hulk charging the armorIron Man using gamma energy.
Robust post-launch content is planned through numerous updates and seasons adding new superheroes and maps to diversify the experience. A scenario written by the screenwriters of NetEase will also be present, where Doctor Doom (Doom) and its version of the future of the year 2099 forced several universes to collide within an entangled flow of time, creating new worlds and crises in their wake. The different groups born from this collision will therefore confront each other and seek to defeat both Doom before they conquer all realities. It’s just another way to justify this happy mess!
