While we'll have to wait a few weeks for full details, Creative Director Shaun Escayg did tease that the beta will include a little bit of everything - campaign content, co-op missions, hero progression, and exploration in War Zone and Drop Zones, the latter of which is a new kind of mission to be detailed in the War Table. "We built the beta in such a way that you can experience most of things that you’ll be doing in the full game,” Escayg said in a statement accompanying the announcement. “That means playing a piece of the original single-player Avengers story campaign, fighting through co-op missions, experiencing hero and world progression, and exploring War Zones and DROP ZONES, a new kind of mission we’ll talk about in the upcoming War Table on July 29. This beta is meaty, but it’s only a small part of the finished game."

IGN went hands-on with the Thor level shown, as well as a Kamala Khan level.
