Ms. Marvel confirmed as a playable character in Marvel’s Avengers

Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics have used a Marvel's Avengers panel at New York Comic Con to announce that Kamala Khan, aka Ms. Marvel, will be a playable character in the upcoming Marvel’s Avengers game. 
While she’ll be one of six playable heroes in the overall game, when it comes to the main story Khan will be the primary protagonist. According to Narrative Designer Hannah McLeod “she’s who you’re going to experience our original Avengers story through. It’s her perspective.”

The Assembler

The announcement trailer released at Comic Con confirms that in Marvel’s Avengers the game, Khan gains her powers on A-Day, the calamitous celebration at the start of the game which sees the core Avengers team split apart and cast into disrepute. 
As a newly created Inhuman and a big fan of the Avengers, over the course of the game's main story Khan will play a key role in uncovering the conspiracy against the heroes and bringing the gang back together all while coming into her own as Ms. Marvel. 
In a further behind the scenes trailer, we’re given a better look at how Ms. Marvel’s powers will work in-game. Her polymorph abilities mean that she can contort her body, growing very big and shrinking down. Her most notable ability is Embiggen which allows her to lengthen her attacks and avoid other attacks, while an Ultra Embiggen state will allow her to grow in size and send her enemies flying. 
Joining well-known characters like Iron Man, Hulk, Black Widow, Captain America and Thor, Ms. Marvel is a fresh new face for the game and her earnest belief in the good of the Avengers is likely to prove a much-needed tonal balance to the doom and gloom cynicism of her more seasoned fellow heroes. 
Marvel’s Avengers will be released on PS4, Xbox One, Stadia and PC on May 15 2020. Those attending EGX 2019 in London later this year will have the chance to get hands on with the game themselves as it will be playable on the show floor.

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT THE PIXEL 4, THE MOST-LEAKED PHONE EVER

Image
Google’s  Pixel 3 might have been the  most-leaked phone in history . Long before its unveiling, we knew practically everything about it from unboxing videos, photo comparisons, even a full review of the device. Surely, for the Pixel 4, Google would clamp down on leaks to leave some surprises for its debut on  October 15th , right? Let’s just say, if that was the plan, it didn’t exactly work out. We’ve now seen the Pixel 4 XL from every angle and in three different colors. At least seven different sources have touched this phone, many of them confirming the same specs. We not only know which cameras it’ll have, but also what they may be capable of, including air gestures (go figure). That doesn’t even count information Google has already shared  on purpose. So if you want to know almost everything about the Pixel 4 nearly a month before it’s announced, buckle up. We’ve sifted through all of the rumors and information we can find to compile everything we know — and everything we

As 2018 comes to a close, it’s time to look at some our favorite apps of the year. While not all of these are brand new, many of them popped up onto our radar for the first time in 2018, and are definitely worth the attention. Others are some of our favorites that are still best-in-class despite having been around for some time now. We aim to do things differently at TNW, and as such you’re not going to find the recommendations you’re probably used to seeing: Gmail, Skype, Dropbox, and the like. Instead, we want to focus on the best-of-the-best that you may not have heard of, and others that are just special enough to warrant a mention. As always, we’d encourage you to share some of your favorites in the comments below, or on Facebook. Enlight Pixaloop (Free Pixaloop  is one of my favorite apps on the market.
