I've been reminded that I should offer more balanced coverage of Marvel games. While I frequently cover Marvel Snap (Free) updates, other titles often only appear in my Monday Best Updates articles. This is a valid criticism! So, let's dedicate a Marvel Minute to explore what's happening in other Marvel mobile games. It turns out Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) both 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.
Defeat enemies with upgraded suits!
New Uniforms: Iron Man, Rescue
New Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine, Hulkbuster
New World Boss: Legend+ (Corvus & Proxima – The Black Order 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 the roster is incredibly diverse at this point. The inclusion of less-common characters like Count Nefaria is a treat for longtime Marvel fans. Here are the update details:
"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 jealousy and spite towards her sister Neith led her to a vengeful quest to destroy her sister's work.
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula: The Summoner must evict villains attempting to exploit The Collector's ship and its treasures.
Side Quest – Ludum Maximus: The Maestro hosts the Circus Maximus, a series of games and challenges overseen by Count Nefaria, featuring 5x weekly maps with randomized paths and enemies.
Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Summoner, aided by clues from Superior Kang, investigates Ouroboros's continued machinations.
Glorious Games: A four-month saga celebrating the Contest's 10th anniversary, featuring a classical antiquity theme, Champion chase, reworks, and new events and quests.
Realm Events: Global collaborative events with milestone and ranked rewards."
Both events look fantastic! If you're a lapsed player or haven't tried these games, now's a great time. I'm definitely checking out Count Nefaria – he's incredibly nefarious! Okay, I'll stop now. Enjoy!
