Back in August, Crystal Dynamics detailed the next two updates coming to Marvel’s Avengers, with the second featuring the arrival of Bucky Barnes, the former sidekick to Captain America better known as the Winter Soldier.

Now, update 2.7 is nearing completion and has a release date of November 29, and will include two substantial additions to the co-op action game. The Cloning Lab Omega Level Threat is a new endgame challenge that culminates in a grand battle with the recently revived MODOK. Heroes will need to be Power Level 175 to start the mission, and those who succeed will be rewarded with new and higher-level gear that boosts the cap to 185. Along with this new mission, the Winter Soldier will join the Avengers as its latest playable character, and is voiced by Scott Porter, who also voiced Bucky in LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. Crystal Dynamics describes Bucky as “an almost purely assault-focused hero”, with unique moves as well as ones inspired by Captain America and Black Widow, and his own heroic abilities and mission chain that deals with the Winter Soldier’s past (and rewards players with his iconic outfit upon completion).
