The biggest anticipation for fans right now is the release of the new game mode, which will feature the inclusion of Marvel’s own Mad Titan, Thanos. The new game mode will play out just like normal, until one player gets their hands on the Infinity Gauntlet. With the Gauntlet in hand, the lucky player will have all the power of Thanos himself at their disposal, a daunting enemy for anyone to face.
