Marvel's Mobile Games Updates: Future Fight and Contest of Champions

TouchArcade Rating:

I've been reminded that I should offer more balanced coverage of Marvel games. While Marvel Snap (Free) receives frequent 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 the current offerings in other Marvel mobile games. It turns out both Marvel Future Fight (Free) and Marvel Contest of Champions (Free) have exciting events underway. Let's dive in!

First, Marvel Future Fight features an Iron Man 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 patch notes:

Now, let's turn to the enduringly popular Marvel Contest of Champions. New events usually introduce playable characters, and this game's roster is remarkably diverse. The inclusion of less common characters, like Count Nefaria, is a welcome surprise for long-time Marvel fans. The update notes provide details:

"NEW CHAMPIONS

Count Nefaria

Descendant of Italian nobility, Count Luchino Nefaria leveraged his wealth and influence within the Maggia crime syndicate. Scientific enhancements granted him superhuman abilities, but at the cost of his life. Resurrected as an ionic being, he's effectively immortal, sustaining himself by draining other ionic entities.

Shathra

Daughter of Oshtur and Gaea, Shathra hails from Loomworld. Tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity, she was consumed by jealousy after her sister Neith surpassed her, leading her to wreak havoc on her sister's creation.

NEW QUESTS AND EVENTS

Event Quest – Lupus In Fabula

An attempt to overthrow The Collector's ship! The Summoner must evict the villains, but faces escalating challenges as each villain pursues their own agenda regarding The Collector's 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 formidable foes.

Act 9; Chapter 1: THE RECKONING

Following Glykhan's self-destruction, the Ouroboros threat persists. Clues are scarce, but Superior Kang offers insights via holo-tapes scattered across Battleworld. Mister Fantastic and Doctor Doom task The Summoner with intel retrieval, but they aren't the only ones seeking answers.

Glorious Games

Our third Saga: Glorious Games! Celebrating the Contest's history and The Maestro's return, this four-month saga features a classical antiquity theme, champion chases, reworks, and new events and quests.

Realm Events

Collaborate with Summoners globally! Contribute points to unlock milestone rewards, with ranked rewards and exclusive titles for competitive players."

Both events look incredibly appealing. If you're a lapsed player or new to these games, this is a great opportunity to jump back in. I'm certainly eager to try Count Nefaria – his nefariousness is undeniable! Enjoy!
