I've been reminded that I should give more attention to Marvel games beyond Marvel Snap. While Marvel Snap (Free) gets frequent coverage due to its updates, other titles often only appear in my Monday Best Updates articles. This is a valid criticism! Let's rectify that with a Marvel Minute, examining recent developments in other Marvel mobile games. Both Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) currently offer exciting events. Let's dive in!
First, Marvel Future Fight features an Iron Man-centric event! Tony Stark, ever the innovator, introduces new suits and weaponry. This event, inspired by Invincible Iron Man, includes fresh outfits for Tony and Pepper. Here are the highlights from the update notes:
“Invincible Iron Man joins Marvel Future Fight.
Defeat enemies with upgraded suits!
New Uniforms: Iron Man, Rescue
New Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine, Hulkbuster
New Legend+ World Boss: The Black Order (Corvus & Proxima) returns!
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.
Shathra: Daughter of Oshtur and Gaea, from Loomworld. Tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, her jealousy led her to a vengeful quest against her sister.
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula: The Summoner must evict villains attempting to seize The Collector’s treasures.
Side Quest – Ludum Maximus: The Maestro's celebratory games, hosted by Count Nefaria, offer randomized challenges.
Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Summoner investigates clues related to Ouroboros, with assistance from Superior Kang.
Glorious Games: A four-month saga celebrating the Contest's 10th anniversary, featuring various events and quests.
Realm Events: Global collaborative events with milestone and ranked rewards.”
Both events seem fantastic! If you're a lapsed player or new to these games, this is a great time to jump in. I'm particularly intrigued by Count Nefaria – his nefariousness is undeniable! Enjoy!
