When the latest expansion drops next month, it’ll also bring with it a brand new playable Super Hero in the form of Black Panther. Of course, along with Black Panther comes a handful of new villains, a brand-new environment to explore, more enemies to face off against, the Birmin Zana Outpost, additional solo or multiplayer Drop Zone and Threat Sector missions, and much more.
The War for Wakanda expansion adds to the lore of Marvel’s Avengers by introducing King T’Challa, the Black Panther, devoted protector and current ruler of Wakanda. Blindsided by a betrayal and the resulting tragedy, T’Challa finds it difficult to entrust his duty to anyone else, even his sister Shuri, while also confronting those who wish to do Wakanda harm. When arch-villain Klaw’s forces threaten Wakanda’s safety, T’Challa must take the fight right to them to defend everything and everyone he holds dear.
