Marvel’s Avengers’ next playable hero is Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor

It’s been nearly five months since the troubled Marvel’s Avengers last received a new playable character – the PlayStation-exclusive Spider-Man – but there’s finally good news for those wondering when the drought might end: developer Crystal Dynamics has confirmed another superhero is on the way, this time in the form of Jane Foster, the Mighty Thor.

Details on Foster’s video game iteration are limited at this early juncture in Crystal Dynamics’ reveal, but the developer has confirmed the character will have “a lot in common” with the version of Thor already in-game. Don’t expect a carbon copy, however; “elements that are distinctly Jane” are also promised for her eventual arrival.

Exactly when that might be, though, is unclear. Crystal Dynamic offered no timeline for the new playable character in its recent blog post, only confirming Foster will release as part of Marvel’s Avengers’ 2.5 update and that more details will be shared “in the future”.
