Marvel’s Avengers is almost ready to pull back the curtain for the newest hero to join the game, Hawkeye, which will be done at the next war table coming on the 16th. Now the game has revealed several new details about Clint Barton’s new mission content in a new synopsis, which they released as a tease for the War Table with a countdown. Hawkeye will get a full reveal at the War Table, including a look at how he plays, but now we know a little more why he sees characters like the Maestro in the footage we’ve seen so far. If you haven’t completed the campaign or the content of Kate Bishop’s Taking Aim mission yet, spoilers are coming, so you’ve been warned. You can check out the full synopsis below.
After the A-Day disaster, Clint Barton and his mentee, Kate Bishop, were left to their own devices and decided to search for the missing Nick Fury, and in the process stumbled upon AIM’s secret Tachyon project, which resulted in the arrest of Clint. Although Kate returned him to the Avengers, danger does not leave him, he falls into a coma and witnesses a vision of the future that leaves him confused and defeated when he finally wakes up. Armed with his bow, sword and knowledge of the grim events to come, it’s up to Hawkeye to stop the end of the world. “
Those who finished Taking Aim will remember that Kate and the rest of the team saved Hawkeye from the other reality before the gate closes, and the whole team talks and shares stories on the Chimera. Hawkeye is happy to be back, and they ask him what the future holds for them.
He shows fragments of what he saw in the future reality. He says they are under attack by an alien race known as the Kree, and it is an “invasion that he says will end the world as we know it.” Future Monica teams up with Nick Fury to save Earth, and she tried to take Clint to the past to help fix it. He doesn’t know when they are coming or why, and says they are completely outsmarted unless they do something. Captain America is all on board to go to work, but then Clint passes out, and we don’t know why.
Now we do, because this is probably the coma they are referring to. It is then possible that the future vision is where he meets the Maestro, and from there who knows. However, we can’t wait to learn more, and the good news is we don’t have to wait much longer.
