SYDNEY (June 24, 2021) – Today, SQUARE ENIX Ltd. announced that a new update for Marvel’s Avengers has gone live that includes a major new threat players must confront: Scientist Supreme Monica Rappaccini’s Cosmic Cube.
Watch the Cosmic Cube Trailer
During the events of Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Hawkeye – Future Imperfect, the Avengers uncovered the threat of a nefarious new weapons project being undertaken by AIM and Scientist Supreme Monica Rappaccini: The Cosmic Cube. First appearing in Tales of Suspense #79 in July 1966, this incredibly powerful item is capable of controlling matter and energy in the universe on an unknown scale. And now, it lies in the hands of the mad genius mastermind of Advanced Idea Mechanics.
The time has come for players to wrest control of the Cosmic Cube from Monica in a new Villain Sector mission available today: “Beating the Odds.” But the weapon’s immense power has made her an even greater threat, requiring the Avengers to use their wits and heroic powers to defeat her solo or in teams of up to four players.
In addition to the new Villain Sector, the limited-time Cosmic Threat Event will begin June 24 and run until July 8. During the Cosmic Threat Event, players must scour the globe searching for Cosmic energy trails caused by Monica’s superweapon: the Cosmic Cube. Players who engage in special Cosmic Threat Event missions and complete Cosmic Damage challenges will earn a unique animated nameplate, gear, and other valuable rewards as they close in on and challenge AIM’s efforts to use the Cosmic Cube.
This new Cosmic Cube content continues the storyline from February’s Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Hawkeye – Future Imperfect and sets the stage for upcoming releases, including Marvel’s Avengers Expansion: Black Panther – War for Wakanda, which launches in August.

PlayStation 4 physical release of the highly anticipated sci-fi survival horror RPG due late summer 2021
Krakow, Poland – June 23rd, 2021 – Video game publishers All in! Games and Perp Games are pleased to announce they have signed an agreement to bring a PlayStation 4 physical release of Chernobylite, the sci-fi survival horror RPG from independent Polish developer The Farm 51, to physical and digital retail stores.
Currently on Steam Early Access and GOG Games in Development, Chernobylite is scheduled to fully launch on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store) on 28th July 2021. The simultaneous launch of digital and physical versions of PlayStation 4 as well as the digital version of Xbox One is slated for late summer 2021.
Check out the Chernobylite gameplay here
Chernobylite is a science-fiction survival horror RPG, set in the hyper-realistic, 3D-scanned wasteland of Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone. You’ll take on the role of Igor, a physicist and ex-employee of the Chernobyl Power Plant, returning to Pripyat to investigate the mysterious disappearance of his fiancee, 30 years prior. Compete with a hostile military presence and other stalkers, face supernatural creatures as well as a harsh and unforgiving environment in your search to uncover the truth. Get ready for a thrilling adventure of survival, conspiracy, horror, love, and obsession. Will you survive your fears?
Stealth, Survival, & Combat – Survival in the Zone is not easy, and each day brings new challenges as your comrades die and supplies diminish. Avoid detection with stealth takedowns or engage in open armed combat. Danger lurks around every corner.
Base Building & Crafting – Construct a base from which to plan your daily operations and excursions. Utilize workstations to craft gadgets, traps, and weapons, or modify existing equipment to your needs.
Resource & Team Management – Companions are key to your survival and the resolution of your journey. Each day requires careful planning and assignment of resources and tasks to your comrades.
Non-Linear Storytelling & Strategy – No playthrough is the same. The choices and story are in your hands. Choose wisely whether to trust your comrades or not, use resources for survival or research, and to face conflicts or avoid them. The future is up to you.
“The Farm 51 have developed a truly beautiful Survival Horror RPG,” said Rob Edwards, Managing Director at Perp Games. “The hyper-realistic world of Chernobyl’s Exclusion Zone is simply breathtaking in its realism and scope, add to this an astonishing depth of game-play and fans should expect to be blown away.”
“We are incredibly excited to announce our partnership with Perp Games, bringing the physical PlayStation 4 edition of Chernobylite alongside the digital console launch later this summer,” said Piotr Żygadło, CEO at All in! Games. “We want to offer as many options for players to get the game as we can, accommodating our community and new players alike.”
