Today, SQUARE ENIX® announced that the Tachyon Anomaly event for Marvel’s Avengers has gone live. First revealed one month ago at SQUARE ENIX PRESENTS, the Tachyon Anomaly Event includes a variety of activities, including a new opportunity for players to form teams online with more than one of the same Super Hero in any mission, starting today and running until May 3.
The world is reeling as AIM’s tampering with time has led to periodic Tachyon Anomalies. During these events, Avengers from different timelines can converge in a single location and take on threats together, allowing players to form teams of more than one of the same Super Hero online. Players can also matchmake into teams that contain the same Heroes, leading to new and exciting team compositions.
During the two weeks of the event, players that complete any Temporal Assault missions will receive an exclusive animated Temporal Assault Nameplate usable with any Super Hero as a reward. Completing additional Temporal Assault missions rewards players with Priority Set pieces for high-level Heroes.
The Tachyon Anomaly event also makes Tachyon Rift missions accessible to Heroes who are Power Level 1-100, allowing all players to experience them. A new Tachyon Rift mission, “And We’re Back,” is available on the War Table starting with this event, giving players more missions of that type to run.
