Once you’ve completed all the single-player content available in the beta the multiplayer opens up with 4 heroes available to play - Iron-Man, Kamala Khan, Black Widow, and The Hulk. You can play in HARM (Holographic Augmented Reality Machine) room challenges, a few War Zone missions, and Drop Zone missions. all of these missions at this point can be played up to 4-player co-op or even solo with AI companions.

Customization options during the beta is limited but you’ll be able to unlock new skills for each hero available and you can find and equip gear to get a taste of how progression works in Marvel’s Avengers. Players that prefer to play solo can bring their version of each hero equipped with what they’ve unlocked and equipped so far.

And just like most beta sessions, your progress will not carry over to the full game. But there’s a special nameplate you can unlock in the beta which will be available to you once the game launches.
