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 get relegated to Monday's "Best Updates" roundup. This is a valid criticism! So, let's dedicate a "Marvel Minute" to explore what's happening in other Marvel mobile games. Both Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Contest of Champions currently feature exciting events. Let's dive in!
First, Marvel Future Fight is celebrating Iron Man! Tony Stark, ever the innovator, is showcasing 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!
Defeat enemies with upgraded suits!
New Uniforms: Iron Man and Rescue.
Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine and Hulkbuster.
New Legend+ World Boss: The returned Black Order, Corvus & Proxima.
New Custom Gear: C.T.P. of Liberation.
200 Crystals Event: Link your email for 200 crystals!"
Now, let's turn to the popular fighting game, Marvel Contest of Champions. New events usually introduce playable characters, and the roster is incredibly diverse. The inclusion of less-common characters like Count Nefaria is a treat for longtime Marvel fans. The update notes detail the additions:
"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 rivalry with her sister Neith led to a vengeful quest to destroy her sister's creation.
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 clues related to Ouroboros's plans.
Glorious Games: A four-month saga celebrating the Contest's 10th anniversary, featuring themed events and champion reworks.
Realm Events: Global collaborative events with milestone and ranked rewards."
Both events offer unique appeal. If you're a lapsed player or new to these games, this is a great time to jump in. Count Nefaria, in particular, looks intriguing! Enjoy!
