I've been reminded that I should give more attention to Marvel games beyond Marvel Snap. While I frequently cover Marvel Snap updates, other titles often end up in my Monday "Best Updates" articles. This is a valid criticism! So, let's dedicate a Marvel Minute to exploring what's happening in other Marvel mobile games. It turns out both Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Contest of Champions have exciting new events. Let's dive in!
First, Marvel Future Fight is celebrating Iron Man! Tony Stark, ever the innovator, is adding new suits and weaponry. This event, inspired by Invincible Iron Man, introduces new outfits for Tony and Pepper. Here's a summary from the update notes:
"Invincible Iron Man joins Marvel Future Fight!
Upgrade your suits and defeat enemies!
New Uniforms: Iron Man and Rescue.
New Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine and Hulkbuster.
New Legend+ World Boss: The Black Order's Corvus & Proxima return.
New Custom Gear: C.T.P. of Liberation.
200 Crystals Event: Link your email for 200 crystals!"
Now, let's look at the ever-popular fighting game, Marvel Contest of Champions. New events usually introduce playable characters, and this game's roster is incredibly diverse. The inclusion of less-common characters is a highlight for longtime Marvel fans. Check out the update notes:
"NEW CHAMPIONS
Count Nefaria: A Maggia crime syndicate leader with superhuman abilities gained through scientific experimentation. Resurrected as an ionic being, he's effectively immortal as long as he absorbs ionic energy.
Shathra: Daughter of Oshtur and Gaea, from Loomworld. Tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, her envy of her sister Neith led her to a vengeful quest.
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula: The Summoner must evict villains attempting to exploit The Collector's ship.
Side Quest – Ludum Maximus: The Maestro hosts games and challenges overseen by Count Nefaria, featuring randomized paths and foes.
Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Summoner investigates Ouroboros's plans, aided by Superior Kang's holo-tapes.
Glorious Games: A four-month saga celebrating the Contest's 10th anniversary, with monthly themed events and Champion reworks.
Realm Events: Global collaborative events with milestone and ranked rewards."
Both events look fantastic! If you're a lapsed player or new to these games, this is a great time to jump in. I'm definitely checking out Count Nefaria – he's incredibly nefarious! Enjoy!
