Get ready for a thrilling shift in Marvel Snap, as the game takes a darker turn with its new season themed around the infamous Dark Avengers. This exciting update draws inspiration from the "Dark Reign" storyline from Marvel comics, which followed the dramatic events of the Civil War saga. In this narrative, the notorious Norman Osborn seizes control of S.H.I.E.L.D., rebranding it as H.A.M.M.E.R., and assembles a sinister team of villains posing as beloved heroes.
Throughout this season, players can add a roster of new, villainous cards to their decks. You'll have the chance to recruit Norman Osborn as the Iron Patriot, his loyal deputy Victoria Hand (available from Jan 7th), the deadly Bullseye (Jan 21st), the cunning Moonstone (Jan 14th), and the formidable Ares (Jan 28th). Be cautious with Ares, as his proximity to the Sentry might lead to some explosive encounters. These characters will battle it out in a new location, Asgard Besieged, where Thor's home faces an assault from Midgard's forces.
Fans of the Marvel universe will delight in seeing these iconic and sometimes overlooked characters return to the spotlight in Marvel Snap. For those new to these villains, the diverse abilities they bring to the game are sure to shake things up. Victoria Hand, for instance, boosts the power of cards created in your hand by 2, while Norman Osborn, upon being played, grants you a random card costing 4, 5, or 6. If you're leading in the location where Norman is deployed by the next turn, that card's cost drops by 4, allowing you to capitalize on your advantage.
The season also introduces a new card for Daken, portraying him as a faux Wolverine, along with an array of cosmetics to flaunt your allegiance to the dark side. And don't miss the arrival of Galacta, a fan-favorite from Marvel Rivals, making her debut in Marvel Snap this season!
