Jane Foster

As for when to expect Jane Foster's Mighty Thor, Crystal Dynamics says sometime after Update 2.5, which will be released sometime after Update 2.4 hits the game ...

“Beyond that will be Update 2.5, and while we’ll be coming back with specifics on timing later, we can share that it will introduce a new playable Hero for all platforms: Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor,” Crystal Dynamics’ blog post reads. “As they’ve entered into a rotational calendar this year, we want to make sure they stay fresh and compelling for replays. She will be the first new addition since Spider-Man, the PlayStation exclusive hero released following last summer’s War For Wakanda expansion, which brought Black Panther into the fold.

Jane Foster, The Mighty Thor soon to star in Marvel's Thor: Love and Thunder from Taika Waititi, will also be coming to Marvel's Avengers.

While we’ll be coming back with specifics on timing later, we can share that it will introduce a new playable Hero for all platforms: Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor! Our Hero designs are driven first and foremost by their core comic book identities, so, as a fellow wielder of Mjolnir, her suite of abilities will have a lot in common with the Odinson’s, however she will also have elements that are distinctly Jane. More details on how Jane will come to life in our game will be coming in the future. The news comes via an April development update mostly focused on the forthcoming 2.4 update, which will overhaul the way Avengers handles recurring in-game events. The new Thor: Love and Thunder trailer isn’t the only place you’ll find Jane Foster rocking the powers of Thor. In what’s surely part of a massive promotional push, Jane Foster, The Mighty Thor, will be the next playable hero to join the roster in Marvel’s Avengers, the action-RPG from Crystal Dynamics.

Marvel's Avengers announces two new future updates, 2.4 and 2.5, which include its next playable character in the newly announced Jane Foster.

Marvel's Avengers' latest development update is not exactly the month-by-month roadmap fans had hoped for, but it is still possible that a detailed schedule of content could be made available to fans at some point in the future. It is also shared that Jane will be an echo character of Thor and share similar abilities while at the same time "she will also have elements that are distinctly Jane." Jane will not release until Update 2.5, however, and Update 2.4 will release sooner with reworked event frameworks. This could be a coincidence, but it would also make sense if Marvel's Avengers wishes to ride the movie's hype with its own character release.

Jane Foster: The Mighty Thor will be coming to Marvel's Avengers as the game's next playable character in Update 2.5, Crystal Dynamics announced today.

“More details on how Jane will come to life in our game will be coming in the future.” The developers are working to make each event more unique and worth playing by improving and diversifying rewards across events, along with reworking objectives to provide a better experience. For fans of the highly divisive game, this will be the first new character added since Spider-Man last November, which was a PlayStation-exclusive update.

Now that patch 2.3 is behind us, we’d like to update you on what’s coming up in the near future for the game. "Our Hero designs are driven first and foremost by their core comic book identities, so, as a fellow wielder of Mjolnir, her suite of abilities will have a lot in common with the Odinson’s, however she will also have elements that are distinctly Jane," the studio said. Changes will include a more diverse range of rewards across events, bringing Unit rewards to a wider variety of missions, making higher-power rewards more accessible "to create another path to gear-up beyond the soft-cap on drops for non-Raid/Omega-Level Threat content," and by granting meta-objective rewards to entire rosters rather than a single hero, so players can equip their entire squad more quickly.
