November 29 is just a few days away and for fans of Marvel's Avengers, that means a brand-new hero is almost here. Update 2.7 is going to be a massive one for the Marvel-themed adventure game and leading up to the update there are some exciting activities taking place to keep fans engaged while they wait for Bucky's arrival.
The Week #117 update to Marvel's Avengers sets the stage nicely for the debut of The Winter Soldier. The Red Room Takeover is back again (this time replacing the Corrupted Vibranium limited time event) and players can power through the event tasks to earn some nice rewards. In addition to the Red Room Takeover activities, this is also a great week to do some catching up thanks to one of the game's biggest experience bonuses going live.
During the week, players will have the chance to take advantage of Quad XP and Double Resources bonuses. This means it's a great time to power up the full roster, earn any needed levels, and start stacking up powerful gear to get each hero ready for the 2.7 content. Many players will want to shift focus to Winter Soldier when he arrives, so these next few days would be a great time to do any last catching up that is on the list before the big debut.
