Crystal Dynamics has confirmed that the first superhero coming to Marvel's Avengers after its launch on 4th September 2020 will be Hawkeye. The character will be a free addition to the game, much like every other piece of content planned to arrive after the initial PlayStation 4 launch. As is the case with every other Avenger, the movie-likeness hasn't been used by Square Enix. Hawkeye in Marvel's Avengers has ditched the mohawk for a classic bald look, and you can see him in action in the trailer above.
Hawkeye will also come with his own series of missions, introducing a new story and villain. As part of the second War Table livestream, the contents of the upcoming PS4 beta was also confirmed. Check out the Push Square guide for more information on that. The pre-launch test kicks off on 7th August for those who have pre-ordered the game while everyone else gains access a week later.

Oh lord, I hated that look for Hawkeye in the comics. Here’s hoping we get a costume inspired by Fraction and Aja’s run, that’s maybe my favourite run on any comic ever.
@nessisonett I totally agree, it's my favorite Marvel run ever next to Tom King's The Vision.
@Jslade That’s another absolute cracker. That was definitely a good time for comics, Kieron Gillen’s Young Avengers and Ed Brubaker’s Winter Soldier were also brilliant.
The War Table was good. The game looks way better.
he looks so generic
@Redman35 Well he is generic soooo...
@Ken_Kaniff I will hear nothing against Hawkeye. The MCU woefully misused him, he’s definitely one of the better comics characters.
Really don't know how to feel about his look here. It seems like they were trying to use MCU Hawkeye as a template but then decided to make him almost completely bald as a way of saying "Our Hawkeye is different we swear guys"
I hope we at least get suits for him modeled after his Fraction/Aja run or his classic costume
@nessisonett Yes this. The Fraction run was so so so so good. The best thing marvel have done comic wise for decades. The issue where the dog is the focus was amazing
The game shows great promise but man, that Hawkeye design. I actually think his MvC:I design looks better lol.
Why isnt he on the initial release? He is one of the "main" Avengers??
That's not hawkeye.
Cool addition for me. I like all avengers so I can't wait to play as Hawkeye. So excited for this game.
After watching this I now think the game looks quite decent, will definitely give the Beta a ago. On the costumes, without being overly cynical if they make the default Hawkeye look good why would you then want to purchase the better and more varied alternatives?
I do like a good bow and arrow What pleases me most is that all characters will come to the game without having to buy a season pass which is a good move 👍
@pip_muzz Did you not hear the two barks at the, hang on, 47 seconds mark?
