This weekend, Square Enix is giving players the chance to get a sneak peek of Marvel’s Avengers for free during the game’s Open Beta, providing budding Super Heroes with an extensive hands-on experience with the game, ahead of its worldwide launch on September 4th.
The Marvel’s Avengers Open Beta will be available from August 21st to August 23rd for all PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC players.
The beta includes four of the game’s single-player campaign Hero Missions, three HARM Room challenges, four War Zones, and five Drop Zones. All of this content adds up to hours and hours of Super Hero action! War Zones and Drop Zones can be played solo with any of the heroes in a player’s roster as AI companions or cooperatively in groups of up to four players.
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One players who link their Square Enix Members and Epic Games accounts then and complete the beta’s three HARM-room challenges will earn the Hulk Smashers Pickaxe with bonus Hulkbuster style in Epic Games’ free-to-play game, Fortnite.
A Square Enix Members account will be required to play the beta. Players can sign up for the account for free on the official Square Enix registration page. Everyone who signs up for an account will receive a Thor in-game nameplate in the final game.
