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 only appear in my Monday Best Updates articles. This is a valid criticism! So, let's dedicate a Marvel Minute to exploring what's new in other Marvel mobile games. Both Marvel Future Fight and Marvel Contest of Champions currently boast exciting 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 Potts. Here's a summary from the update notes:
"Invincible Iron Man joins Marvel Future Fight!
Upgrade your suits and defeat enemies!
New Uniforms: Iron Man and Rescue
New Tier-4 Advancement: War Machine and Hulkbuster
New Legend+ World Boss: The Black Order's Corvus and Proxima return!
New Custom Gear: C.T.P. of Liberation added!
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. Even lesser-known characters are playable, which is exciting for longtime Marvel fans. The update notes detail the additions:
"NEW CHAMPIONS
Count Nefaria: A Maggia crime syndicate leader with enhanced 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 led her to a vengeful quest against her sister Neith.
NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS
Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula: The Summoner must evict villains attempting to take over The Collector's ship.
Side Quest – Ludum Maximus: The Maestro hosts games and challenges overseen by Count Nefaria, offering randomized paths and foes.
Act 9; Chapter 1 – The Reckoning: Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Summoner investigates clues related to Ouroboros, aided by Superior Kang.
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 look impressive. If you're a lapsed player or new to these games, this is a great time to jump in. I'm definitely checking out Count Nefaria—he's delightfully nefarious! Enjoy!
