About Marvel's Avengers Beta Access Xbox One

• Golden Gate Bridge hero mission : This demo lasts roughly 25 minutes and will introduce you to the heroes and their movesets. It'll be the only time during the beta period where you'll get to play as Thor and Captain America, so make the most of your time with them. Expect a few set pieces, lots of combat, and some level traversal as you get to grips with each Avenger's style. There's even a Taskmaster boss battle to see how quickly you've acclimated to their skills.
• At least one of the missions focuses on Hulk and Kamala Khan, which should give us some time to get a feel for their individual styles. Smashing through enemies as Hulk looks especially fun, as does leaping around like a giant frog. Two of the missions also feature boss fights against iconic Marvel villains, including gamma radiation-guzzling meany, The Abomination.
• War Zones: The beta offers five War Zones, which are large missions that can be played with a team of AI, or with a squad of four players. As well as taking out swarms of enemies, these missions incorporate puzzle elements to access bunkers that contain collectibles, resources, and gear. While there's no set duration on these levels, Crystal Dynamics has outlined that some War Zones in the final game will take as long as two hours to complete. Full-release War Zones will also be split into sub-categories including 'Iconic Missions' that concentrate on hero stories, and 'Faction Missions' that see the Avengers helping out their allies
• Drop Zones: Drop Zones can be as short as ten minutes. These quickfire missions focus on a specific objective, such as defending a point. Crystal Dynamics has baked five of these into the beta. So, they're perfect to boot up if you've got a few minutes to spare.
• HARM Rooms: HARM (Holographic Augmented Reality Machine) Rooms are essentially training rooms that let you experiment with each Avenger's powers against waves of enemies. There will be three HARM Challenge Rooms to test your skills solo with AI companions, or with up to three friends. As you'd expect, these get increasingly harder the longer you survive, but there's a shiny nameplate reward in it for you if you beat them all.
• Over the course of the beta, you can earn gear and level up your heroes to unlock better perks. Both Hero and Power levels will be capped at 15 and 45, though. Thankfully, you'll still be able to team up with a buddy, even if your levels differ wildly, but there's no crossplay support during these sessions.
• Progression carries over between the preorder and open betas, but you'll have to start afresh when the game releases in September. You'll have to unlock gear and resources again, too.
• It's possible to bag yourself a few cosmetics for the duration of the beta period, but you won't be able to buy any of these with real cash. Items purchased in the beta cannot be transferred into the full release, either. You can unlock these as you progress, or buy them using gifted in-game currency.
