The original Fallen Order was a great return for Star Wars games but there remain some elements that need to strengthen their bond with the force.

Crystal Dynamics announced that the next War Table video for Marvel’s Avengers goes live February 16. The event will be all about Hawkeye, more specifically Clint Barton. The studio also teased some sort of update about the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game, which had previously been delayed

Hawkeye was originally slated to be the first post-launch character to come to the game. Things changed, however, and it wound up being fellow archer Kate Bishop (who also uses the Hawkeye name) getting first dibs.
