If you’re so enthusiastically eager to play Crystal Dynamics’ upcoming Marvel Avengers game that you’re struggling to resist the urge to to dash to the shops and slap down some cash, you might be interested to know that Square Enix has a dizzying array of pre-order bonuses planned, including access to its pre-launch beta.
Players that pre-order any version of the game (provided they’re purchased through participating retailers, notes Square), can get involved in the planned, although still undated, Avengers beta. They’ll also receive an exclusive nameplate and the Marvel Legacy Outfit Pack – featuring classic comic book looks for Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk, Iron Man, and Ms. Marvel, inspired by “moments from the comics that defined who each Super Hero was as they first embraced their powers to become the icons they are today.”
That’s not quite the end of Square’s big pre-order push, however; the standard physical edition of Marvel’s Avengers will also include either a limited-edition pin set, patch set, steelbook, or digital comic book, depending where pre-orders are made, and there are additional bonuses exclusive to the PlayStation Store.
