How To Download, Start & Play The War For Wakanda DLC/Update

As War For Wakanda is a free update and not a standalone piece of DLC, players will be able to download the expansion by simply updating their game. On most platforms, this will be done automatically when you boot up the game or turn on your console.

Should the game not automatically update, simply select the 'Check for update' option found on most platforms.

Once Marvel's Avengers has been updated to the latest version, go ahead and start the game.

From here you'll want to navigate over to the War Table in-game and find the region of Wakanda on the world globe. Select 'View Region' and then select the Black Panther mission symbol to begin the first campaign mission called 'The Way It Began...'.

You'll then be taken to cutscene before being able to play as King T'Challa himself!
