2X GTA$ & RP on Gerald’s Last Play

Gerald doesn’t like to talk much, so make sure to respond and listen close if he drops you a line on your iFruit. The big man wants to get out of dodge, and he needs your help. He’ll repay you handsomely for your services, too – think twice the usual rate on all Gerald Contact Missions until November 25th.

3X GTA$ & RP on A Superyacht Life

Give that wild antipodean Captain Brendan Darcy a call to deal with all sorts of carnage on the high seas and in high society alike.

2X GTA$ & RP in Running Back Remix

Instead of strapping on a helmet and pads and running out onto the gridlock, slide behind the dash of a pint-sized Panto and attempt to outmaneuver the enemy’s squadron of muscular Tezeracts on your way to the end zone in Running Back (Remix). To help max out the carnage factor, you will all get paid double for your blood, sweat and tears through November 25th. Ready? Break.

MARVEL’S AVENGERS OPERATION: KATE BISHOP – TAKING AIM LAUNCHES DECEMBER 8

MARVEL’S AVENGERS OPERATION: KATE BISHOP – TAKING AIM LAUNCHES DECEMBER 8

New Hero, Story, Villain, and More Coming at No Additional Cost

SYDNEY, 20th November 2020 – Today, SQUARE ENIX® announced that the first new playable Super Hero for Marvel’s Avengers will launch as part of Operation: Kate Bishop – Taking AIM on December 8, 2020. In addition to a new playable Super Hero in Kate Bishop and the new chapter in the game’s ongoing Avengers Initiative story, Marvel’s Avengers Operation: Kate Bishop – Taking AIM will also introduce a powerful new villain, the Super Adaptoid, that will challenge players with a combination of skills and weaponry that mimic the Avengers’ attacks.

Watch the Marvel’s Avengers WAR TABLE Deep Dive About Operation: Kate Bishop – Taking AIM

The lead-up to Taking AIM began with enigmatic new Tachyon missions that started appearing on players’ in-game War Tables several weeks ago. In Taking AIM, Kate Bishop, master archer and skilled gymnast, resurfaces after her investigation of Nick Fury’s disappearance following A-Day leads to her mentor Clint Barton (aka Hawkeye) going missing as well. As she unravels the mystery behind the sudden appearance of the time-warping Tachyon Rifts, she uncovers a twisted new plan from AIM, which pushes her to work with the Avengers once again.

Taking AIM’s story begins shortly after the conclusion of Marvel’s Avengers’ Reassemble campaign and is just the first half of the two Hawkeyes’ Story Arc. Clint Barton’s Hawkeye will then take the stage in early 2021 to complete the double-feature and lay the groundwork for what’s next in the Avengers Initiative.

Marvel’s Avengers is currently available on PlayStation®4, Xbox One, and PC. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of Marvel’s Avengers can currently be played via backwards compatibility on PlayStation®5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Players who own the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One version of the game will be able to upgrade to the full next-gen version at no additional cost*. Those moving their saves to next-gen consoles will transfer their player profiles and progression so they can pick up right where they left off. In addition, cross-gen play will be supported so PS5™ players will be able to play with their friends on PS4™ and Xbox Series X|S players can connect with their friends on Xbox One.

Marvel’s Avengers offers players a truly rich experience and combines the single player focused Reassemble story campaign with the ongoing Avengers Initiative’s War Zone missions, which take the Avengers around the world and beyond. Each mission in the Reassemble campaign is designed to showcase one or more hero’s unique abilities, while the Avengers Initiative missions can be played solo with your own custom AI team or with a group of up to four players** as any Hero in the player’s roster.

The narrative of Marvel’s Avengers will expand over time with the addition of new stories featuring new heroes, villains, mission types, regions, items, and more delivered to players at no additional cost once they own the core game. These stories move the entire Marvel’s Avengers narrative world forward on a multi-year arc, and all new missions are accessible to the entire roster of playable heroes.


*Free upgrade available only from PlayStation 4 to PlayStation 5, or from Xbox One to Xbox Series X|S. Upgrade from PlayStation 4 disc version requires PlayStation 5 console with disc drive. Upgrade from Xbox One disc version requires Xbox Series X console.

**Internet connection required. Your platform’s online multiplayer requirements will apply.

Kongregate plans to introduce new in-game events, features and content to ensure they continue to be great player experiences for many years into the future. Together, the games have accumulated more than 224 million downloads, with Where’s My Water? 2 earning an Editor’s Choice award on the App Store. 

“We’re extremely excited to work with Disney and Pixar Games to bring such a diverse mix of titles — match-3, bubble-shooter, and a physics-based puzzle game — into our growing portfolio of games,” said Patrick Moran, General Manager of Tonic, Kongregate’s live operations focused studio. “Each game boasts a strong, loyal fan base that we want to continue to engage with new content, more live events, and continued focus.”

The three games will transition to Kongregate over the next several months and be fully operated in early 2021. The Kongregate and Disney and Pixar Games teams are collaborating closely to ensure the transition process will be seamless for players. With Kongregate’s deep background in mobile game development, players can look forward to renewed content release cycles with new levels, modes, and features over the next several years.

“Kongregate is in a unique position to reintroduce and expand the reach of these hugely successful games to an even wider audience of players. We’ve built a diverse team through our growing first party game development studios and through our legacy mobile publishing business. Our teams are experts at marketing and supporting games from a wide range of genres,” said Jan Steglich, Head of Strategic Partnerships at Kongregate. “We’ve already shown success taking over mature titles with our work on surviv.io, and are excited to add these new titles to our portfolio and expand our genre expertise across the organization.”
