I've received feedback suggesting I should provide 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! Therefore, let's dedicate a Marvel Minute to exploring the current offerings in other Marvel mobile games. It turns out both Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) have exciting new events. Let's dive in!
First, Marvel Future Fight features an Iron Man-centric event! Tony Stark, ever the innovator, unveils 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 Legend+ World Boss: Corvus & Proxima (Black Order)
New Custom Gear: C.T.P. of Liberation
200 Crystals Event: Link your email for 200 crystals!"
Now, let's shift our focus to the ever-popular fighting game, Marvel Contest of Champions. New events usually introduce playable characters, and this game boasts an incredibly diverse roster. The inclusion of less-common characters like Count Nefaria is a welcome surprise for longtime Marvel fans. The update notes provide 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 towards her sister Neith led her 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. Features 5x weekly maps with randomized paths and enemies.
Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Summoner investigates Ouroboros's continued plotting, aided by Superior Kang's holo-tapes.
Glorious Games Saga: A four-month event celebrating the Contest's history and the Maestro's return, featuring a classical antiquity theme, champion reworks, and new events.
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 opportunity to jump back in. I'm definitely checking out Count Nefaria – his nefariousness is undeniable! Enjoy!
