Marvel’s Avengers fans were curious about the release dates for the upcoming next-gen versions of the game, which originally came out last year, but were pushed back to work on fixes and updates for the core game. The game is currently playable on both PS5 and Xbox Series X but has not been optimized for both consoles, but now we know when we’ll find out the exact release dates for both optimized versions, and that’s right around the corner.
Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics recently revealed that the next War Table will focus on Hawkeye’s Future Imperfect story content, and the War Table will take place on February 16. The good news is that we’ll also find out the next-generation release date during that event, something the developers confirmed during a recent gameplay live stream (via @PlayAvenger).
To avoid confusion: Clint and Next Gen will get release dates announced on the 16th, not that it will be released on the 16th

Another notable point regarding the next-gen versions is that haptic feedback is also included for each character in the PS5 version of the game.
In case you didn’t know, haptic feedback is only available in PS5 controllers. https://t.co/479UBCeIS9

Looking at how Kate Bishop’s schedule went, the war table took place on November 19 and then the actual content was released on December 8. If a similar format is followed, as the War Table will be out on February 16th, the content would be out the first week of March, maybe March 5th, although that can of course be changed.
As for the next-gen, if the content comes out in March, a good place for the next-gen release would be April or the end of March, that way it will launch right away on PS5 and Series X with new content, but we ‘ I’ll have to wait and see.
The official description of Marvel’s Avengers can be found below.
