"We’ve also made the decision to shift our PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S launch to next year to ensure that we give our team the time to deliver a next-gen experience showcasing all that this game is meant to be," Crystal Dynamics said in a blog post.

Along with upgrades to visuals and consoles, the game will also get itself a new character and major storyline.

Yep, that’s right, Hawkeye is joining Marvel’s Avengers on his quest to find Nick Fury and along the way discovers a dangerous weapon created by an evil Scientist.
