About

War for Wakanda is a free update for anyone who owns the base game. The Expansion tells an original Black Panther story inspired by the comics and consulted on by Black Panther writer Evan Narcisse. Ulysses Klaw has infiltrated Wakanda’s borders to mine the nation’s precious Vibranium, putting King T’Challa’s leadership to the test. The King, of course, is our new playable Hero. Black Panther’s abilities reward defensive play – blocks and parries build your Intrinsic Meter that when full allows you to release a burst of kinetic energy. He can also be played as a fierce predator too, with a unique pounce mechanic that lets you grapple large and small enemies to the ground, attacking them with your Vibranium claws.

    Although there's some improvements made to the UI and a few other quality of life improvements, Marvel's Avengers - War for Wakanda is ultimately worth playing through for the brief story and Black Panther himself, but not much else. It succeeds at what it has always succeeded at and falls victim to the fundamental issues that have been there since launch, something that may leave a bitter taste in the mouths of lapsed players.

    The best DLC for Marvel’s Avengers, War For Wakanda does everything right for once with epic storytelling and added complexity to its design and boss battles. It’s nice that the developers are listening to fans, but the fear is that it’s too little too late. Only time and player base will tell, but I do think it’s absolutely worth a shot to play as a free DLC and most definitely worth the cost of the base game for any new players interested in trying out Marvel’s Avengers.

    Despite offering more of what came before, Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Black Panther – War for Wakanda is a solid chunk of story content that’s enjoyable for its short run time. The story is simplistic but has some charm that makes you want to root for these characters. Black Panther is a great addition to the playable roster, ripe for downing enemies with carefully chained combos.

    Marvel’s Avengers: War for Wakanda introduces fantastically designed new areas with a dash of puzzles and platforming to mix things up. While the combat still has a long way to go before it remains interesting, this expansion is worth checking out for Black Panther’s skills.

    War for Wakanda is an exotic expansion that serves up more than just a bonus character to play as. The painstaking detail and passion that has gone into building this corner of the Avengers universe is clear to see, the game being in a much better state since launch.
