Earlier last month, first-look of Clint Barton was unveiled as a free post-launch hero for Marvel's Avengers. Fans soon started to speculate that his protégé may also be added and their theory gets officially confirmed by Crystal Dynamics.
Fan-favorite voice actor Ashly Burch provided dialogues for Kate Bishop, who originally debuted in Young Avengers comics. Whereas Clint often acts irresponsible, she seems to be his character contrast that appears to be a bit more mature.

She will be introduced in Operation: Taking AIM that will directly tie to the end of "Reassemble" campaign and Kate will face off a new villain. She may also show up alongside original Hawkeye later in his own Operation: Future Imperfect.
Marvel's Avengers have amassed over 6 million players during Beta and promises to offer much more on day one of release. Crystal Dynamics recommends starting with single-player story campaign featuring M.O.D.O.K. and Ms. Marvel.

Avengers Initiative will be rolling out seasonal and weekly in-game events on a regular basis to keep everyone engaged. S.H.I.E.L.D. Substation Zero outpost run by Commander Maria Hill will become available after launch as a social space.
AIM's Mega Hives and Secret Lab are to follow up as well for co-op teamwork experience once a week. Players are on a limited time window to complete task and then take part in a major boss fight afterwards against a group of heroes.

Following release of campaign focused on Kate Bishop in late October, Hawkeye will be arriving on November 2020. Previous leak from Beta hints at inclusion of Captain Marvel, She Hulk and War Machine at some point in near future.
Marvel's Avengers offering known characters as playable heroes post-launch other than original team is surely a treat for long-time fans. Given its live-service model of business, there will be a steady supply of contents for years to come.
