The game will also let players unlock unique synergies between select Marvel characters, adding another layer of strategy to the gameplay.
Imagine the possibilities coming together as you begin to piece powers from across the Marvel Universe say, from the thunderous might of Thor, combined with the agility of Black Panther, or Doctor Strange’s mystical arts combined with the chaos magic of Scarlet Witch.
