After receiving two bow-and-arrow heroes in a row in Marvel’s Avengers, players are undoubtedly eager to see the roster continue to expand. A March presentation from Square Enix revealed that T’Challa, the Black Panther, will be the next playable hero. Black Panther will arrive alongside a massive free content update called War for Wakanda. But when will this expansion release?
A trailer that released during E3 2021 confirmed an August 2021 release date for War for Wakanda, and a June update of the roadmap solidified that target month. The release of Kate Bishop, the first new character added to the game, was three months after the game launched — Clint Barton released three months after Bishop. However, the Wakanda update sounds like it will be a lot more expansive, so around five months after Hawkeye’s release sounds right.
