A couple of weeks ago, Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics confirmed that the highly anticipated MARVEL's Avengers would be getting one final War Table presentation ahead of its long-awaited release, and that said presentation would be revealing some new details about the upcoming title.
According to the announcement, the War Table presentation would be livestreamed on the 1st of September, which is only three days after the game's official worldwide release. While the developers didn't reveal what exactly they would be showing, players expected to know more about Hawkeye, who is one of the characters that will be joining the game's roster after the launch.
MARVEL's Avengers War Table has just wrapped up, and the developers at Crystal Dynamics did reveal more information about Hawkeye, but not about Clint Barton, as they have revealed that Kate Bishop is, in fact, the Hawkeye that will be joining the game as a post-launch character.
Before you get your panties in a bunch, Crystal Dynamics specifies that Kate Bishop and Clint Barton will both be added to the game after the launch, so them revealing Hawkeye in July of this year was not a fake out announcement; both Hawkeyes will be added after the game releases.
As revealed by the trailer, Kate Bishop's story will be closely tied to Clint Barton's, and the developers at Crystal Dynamics have made it very clear that both Kate and Clint are heavily based on Matt Fraction and David Aja's phenomenal Hawkeye run from the comics.
