Upcoming Square Enix and Marvel game rumored to feature Scarlet Witch as a protagonist

According to a 4chan leak: “The game takes place from the perspective of multiple Avengers after a
cataclysmic incident broke the team apart (think more Dissassembled than
Civil War), but there are 3 which are the core focus: Captain
America, Iron Man, and Scarlet Witch (who you heard in the trailer).
They aren’t the ONLY playable characters, but they are the leads of the
story. Gameplay wise think a mix between Uncharted and Infamous.”

This is the trailer for the game.

Obviously take this was a heaping helping of salt. The leak goes on to say we’ll find out more come E3.

I lean towards this being fake, and Scarlet Witch being named dropped because the female voice in the trailer doesn’t sound like how someone would cast Black Widow, and Scarlet Witch is the only other female Avenger in the MCU so far.

But if you had to make the case for why to feature her as a tritagonist, I imagine:

1. They want at least one female character.
2. They want a character recognizable from the movie.
3. They’d want a character with a unique moveset.
4. Cap and Widow are a bit too close in style, as physical close quarters fighters. 

But I do think this leak is probably fake.
