About Marvel\u2019s Avengers Expansion: Black Panther \u2013 War for Wakanda<\/p>\n

The story of the free War for Wakanda expansion revolves around King T’Challa, the Black Panther, devoted protector and current ruler of Wakanda. Blindsided by a betrayal and the resulting tragedy, T’Challa finds it difficult to entrust his duty to anyone else, even his sister Shuri, while also confronting those who wish to do Wakanda harm. When arch-villain Klaw’s forces threaten Wakanda’s safety, T’Challa must take the fight right to them to defend everything and everyone he holds dear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Players will experience the game\u2019s story and additional missions in the ongoing Avengers Initiative in the lush jungles of Wakanda, an entirely new environment and sole location of the world\u2019s Vibranium. They\u2019ll also get to explore the Royal Palace that overlooks Birnin Zana, known as \u201cThe Golden City,\u201d in a new Outpost that contains Shuri\u2019s laboratory, Zawavari\u2019s chambers, and the Wakandan War Room.<\/p>\n
