‘Avengers’ Still Has To Answer A Fundamental Question About Its New Characters - Forbes

So, we now know that Avengers has delayed the release of its first post-launch character, Kate Bishop, out of late October into some time in November (please, please be before next-gen launch week).

How is Kate Bishop going to be meaningfully different from Hawkeye, given that both are archers.

But it’s not just this pair.

Avengers seems like it’s going to be doing a sort of “echo fighter” thing out of Smash Bros.

We have seen a leaked, very long list of potential upcoming characters the game is considering, with a lot of potential echo pairings in there.

I cannot imagine spending a massive amount of time getting Kate Bishop to 50/150, only to have Hawkeye arrive a month later and he has like, two different types of arrows, but I still have to start the process all over again.

I don’t mind the existence of echo characters, but I have played this game a metric ton and only just got my fourth character above 145
