A later clip sees Bruce Banner (a.k.a.

Hulk) referring to something called a terrigen reactor, which has implications for the Inhumans.

The heroic attempt to thwart such a heist ends in catastrophe.

Some say they were set up, others called them murderers, says a voice in the trailer.

After that, the Avengers were outlawed.

This includes, said Scot Amos of Square Enix, a growing roster of heroes.

Every new superhero and every new region will be delivered at no additional cost, Amos further promised.

We wont have random loot boxes or pay-to-win scenarios, Marie added.

The newAvengersfeels like the next stage in a new era for Marvel console games.

It will be released May 15, 2020, on PS4, Xbox One, Stadia, and PC.
