DEADPOOL’S DINER

Take a seat, amigo! To celebrate the upcoming Marvel Studios’ Deadpool & Wolverine and MARVEL SNAP season, we’re introducing a bunch of content inspired by the movie, including a brand new in-game event that will allow you to wager more than your typical cubes. The stakes (or steaks?) have never been higher!

Here at Deadpool’s Diner, you bet Deadpool’s Bubs before you play. You will first start on Table 1, where you will be given enough bubs for your first match. As you win, you’ll earn enough Bubs to step up to Table 2, 3, 4, and so on. As the Tables increase, so does the risk. But no risk, no reward! On your way to the top, unlock a brand new card, Cassandra Nova! If you make it all the way up to the biggest plate you’ll unlock a unique Cassandra Nova variant.

Everyone’s asking for Deadpool’s Diner recipes, so we’ll be outlining the full menu and how it all works in the coming weeks so you won’t be hungry for long.

 

ALLIANCES

Alliances are coming to MARVEL SNAP on July 30th! This long-awaited feature, formerly known as Clans, will transform the social experience of the game. Join or form an Alliance, collaborate with members, complete Bounties, and reap fantastic rewards together. Alliances are just the beginning; we’ll be expanding this feature over time, starting with Alliance Competitions. This feature is for you, and we’re keen to evolve it based on your feedback.

 

YOUNG AVENGERS – NEW SEASON

School’s out and it’s time for some rookies to step into the MARVEL SNAP fray. Starting August 6th, a new generation of characters will be joining your decks and they have big shoes to fill. This youth movement is ready to take over!

 

DEADPOOL LEAGUE

Leagues are here! Leagues are a limited-time event that matches you with 30 similar players in a competitive leaderboard for prizes. Play your regular games, rack up League Points with your victories, and watch your ranking soar. Everyone gets rewards, but the top leaderboard positions will earn the best loot.

To celebrate our inaugural global Leagues launch, the big prize for ranks #1-3 is a shiny new Deadpool emote. So jump in, climb the ranks, and earn some Deadpool boosters and maybe even a Deadpool emote!

 

COMMUNITY CELEBRATION

It’s not a proper summer bash unless we have some fun with the friends we’ve made along the way. So, to help make this celebration easier, we’re launching a temporary Refer-a-friend event during the Maximum Effort season! Reward thresholds are met by new and unique MARVEL SNAP accounts.

• 1 Tutorial Finished: Exclusive “Marvel Messiah” Title
• 3 Tutorials Finished: Mystery Variant
• 1 Tutorial Finished + 1 Welcome Bundle Purchased: Premium Mystery Variant
• 1 Tutorial Finished + 1 Premium Season Pass Purchased: Exclusive Domino Variant

We’re also thrilled to showcase Deadpool Diner in a new CONQUERORS-themed event: Deadpool Domination! We can’t wait to share more details with you, so stay tuned for the excitement that’s about to unfold.

 

JEFF WEEK!

This year we’re celebrating everyone’s favorite cartilaginous carnivore, Jeff the Baby Land Shark! For Shark Jeff Week you’ll see Jeff-themed Variants, Login Bonuses, Twitch Drops, Alliance Bounties, and rewards to sink your teeth into.

Deadpool Domination is more than just a summer event; it’s a celebration of everything that makes Deadpool a beloved character—his humor, his unpredictability, and his relentless drive. Dive into MARVEL SNAP today and prepare to experience the madness and mayhem all summer long.

Character Spotlight: Arishem

The towering giant and extraterrestrial Arishem the Judge decides whether a race is worthy or unworthy of existence.

Who is Arishem

Arishem is a Celestial known also as the Killer of Planets — His judgement is formed over the course of successive visits embodying Celestial Hosts, to determine whether a planet is worthy of existence.

Transcending space and time, the Celestials exist in multiple places simultaneously. As such, Arishem is capable of judging multiple planets at once — displaying his judgement as either a thumbs-up or thumbs-down.

Powers & Abilities

Arishem possesses limitless cosmic powers beyond our comprehension. As his role as Cosmic-Judge would suggest, he is capable of destroying entire planets.

While Arishem often takes the form of an exploratory body known as “the Host” while visiting planets, his true form exists beyond conventional understanding of space and time. Arishem’s energy is manifested within a physical shell that resembles an immense suit of armor, standing 2,000 feet tall.

Arishem leads his fellow Celestials to explore countless worlds — watching, judging, and shaping the evolutionary paths of other races.

This incredible cosmic power is demonstrated in MARVEL SNAP through Arishem’s unique card effect:

At the start of the game, +1 Max Energy. Shuffle 12 random cards into your deck.

Embrace the endless possibilities Arishem presents you!

Dev Roadmap – June 2024

HEEYYY! Welcome to our next ✨MARVEL SNAP DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP✨ (Did you read that with movie-trailer voice? We did.) It’s been a while, we missed you. We’ve got some juicy stuff to jump into today – including details on brand new in-game events and the long anticipated Alliances feature, formerly known as Clans. The team has set a goal this year to ensure MARVEL SNAP is filled with exciting in-game events and special occasions. We aim to offer different ways to play and various rewards for playing – it should always feel like there’s something new in MARVEL SNAP!

There’s an action-packed few weeks coming up kicking off with a chimichanga-fueled Deadpool season, new in-game events, and drumroll … Alliances will be launching on July 30th!

These dev roadmap blogs are a great way to share what the team is currently jamming on, the direction we’re going, and getting feedback from our incredible community. But, quick reminder: plans change all the time – sometimes we realize very late that a feature isn’t going to work out. You might notice Character Mastery is missing from this roadmap and that’s exactly what happened here: we discovered some feature-blocking technical architecture issues. #gamedevelopment No worries, the team has pivoted towards some awesome things we’re excited to share. Let’s do itttt!

 

Coming Soon

Items listed here are in the final phase of development, and these features are almost ready to release to players! We’re cleaning up, polishing art, and squashing bugs. Our Quality Assurance teams scrape over all the little details to ensure we have as smooth an experience for players as possible. Once features are “Coming Soon,” we can start to plan release dates, timelines and share some insight with players.

The team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on a few much-anticipated features:

• Deadpool’s Diner
• Improved Technical Performance
• Custom Card Improvements

 

Deadpool’s Diner

The team has set a goal this year to ensure MARVEL SNAP is filled with exciting in-game events and special occasions. We aim to offer different ways to play and various rewards for playing – it should always feel like there’s something new in MARVEL SNAP! Deadpool’s Diner is a great example of the kinds of events we hope to continue bringing to the game throughout the year!

So, take a seat, amigo! To celebrate the upcoming Deadpool & Wolverine movie and MARVEL SNAP season, we’re introducing a brand new in-game event that will allow you to wager more than your typical cubes. The steaks have never been higher!

Here at Deadpool’s Diner, you bet Deadpool’s Bubs before you play. You will first start on Table 1, where you will be given enough bubs for your first match. As you win, you’ll earn enough Bubs to step up to table 2, then 3, 4, and so on. As the tables increase, so does the risk. But no risk, no reward! Make your way all the way up to the biggest plate and you’ll unlock a brand new card, Cassandra Nova!!! The games inside Deadpool’s Diner will be outside of the typical ladder games, so there’s no risk to your ranking, just to your stomach with that questionable chimichanga. We love the extra layers of strategy and decision-making this event brings to MARVEL SNAP – not to mention the rewards! We hope this is an event we can bring back with new rewards in the future, so let us know what you think. See you in the Diner! ️

 

In Development

Game features in this section are actively being developed, iterated, and improved upon. Our production team dedicates team resources, generates tasks/timelines, and ensures we’re moving forward. Features and systems in this bucket can change dramatically – we might find our initial idea wasn’t fun OR we might discover we can achieve our goals in an unexpected way!

Here’s some features that are currently in development:

• Alliances
• Leagues
• New Card Mechanic
• Collectible Infinity Splits

 

Alliances

One of the most requested features for MARVEL SNAP is finally coming! Alliances, formerly known as Clans, will be releasing on July 30th. Alliances are the heart of our game’s social experience, providing players with the opportunity to join forces, build communities, and strategize together. Whether you’re founding a new Alliance or joining an existing one, you’ll be able to collaborate with fellow members to complete Bounties, chat with Alliance members, and earn fantastic rewards. We have BIG dreams for Alliances and we’ll be expanding on the feature over time – including our next step, Alliance Competitions! Alliances is a feature for YOU and we’ll be releasing it in phases based on your feedback, let us know what you think!

Leagues

Leagues are another example of the new in-game events that we’re bringing to our ongoing MARVEL SNAP calendar. Leagues are limited-time events where you’ll be matched into groups of 30 similar players to compete on a short-term leaderboard for prizes. Players will have the option to join a Standard League for free or buy into a Premium League, which offers more rewards. During the event, just play games as normal and your League Points will adjust based on your game outcomes. More cubes means more Points! At the end of the League, everyone gets rewards… but, the top spots on the leaderboard will receive the best rewards!

New Card Mechanic

 

In Concept

We have BIG dreams about what we’d like to bring to the future of MARVEL SNAP! The first step towards these dreams is turning ideas into concepts through discussion, documentation, and planning. Features currently in the “In Concept” phase have been initially scoped out and given shape but have not yet had any engineering or development work done in the game itself.

This is where we’d love your feedback the most! Concepts listed in this section may be elevated in priority, rescoped, or scrapped entirely… or we might hear something completely new from the community.

Here are some of the future concepts we’re thinking about for MARVEL SNAP:

• Draft Mode
• Card Acquisition Improvements
• Alliances Competition

 

Draft Mode

We’ve had this one on the to-do list since the inception of MARVEL SNAP. Draft Mode is a cornerstone of collectible card games and we’re so excited to bring a “Snappified” version to our game. We’d love to hear your thoughts about what is “core” to draft, any fun draft format ideas, and your hopes and dreams for what Draft Mode looks like in MARVEL SNAP!

Let us know what you think, and please continue to share your ideas for the future of MARVEL SNAP! ✌️

Character Spotlight: War Machine

Military veteran James Rhodes is ready for combat in his advanced armor — iterating upon the arsenal of Tony Stark-created designs — to create the War Machine!

On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, nothing can stop you from playing cards anywhere.

Brothers In Armor

With his own suit of armor, James Rhodes forged a heroic identity either flying solo or with the Avengers.

They may not always see eye to eye, but James “Rhodey” Rhodes and Tony Stark have formed a close camaraderie since they first met. Rhodes provides a helping hand in a fight – with the help of his War Machine armor, he can level the playing field.

The Walking Arsenal

War Machine’s firepower capabilities are deadly – and frequently increasing. Much like Iron Man, War Machine can lift a massive amount of weight. The War Machine computers provide Rhodes with all the information he needs about a target (or an ally). In case he needs to make a fast escape, War Machine’s flight enables him to make a speedy getaway!

War Machine’s unparalleled combat tech is represented in MARVEL SNAP by his unique effect:

On Reveal: Until the end of next turn, nothing can stop you from playing cards anywhere.

War Machine’s one-of-a-kind technology enables you to play your cards at ANY Location the turn following his On Reveal effect.

That means you can overcome the pesky effects of The Vault, Big House, Crimson Cosmos, Sanctum Sanctorum, Kyln, Morag, and Flooded Locations!

Additionally, cards with effects that would normally disable them from being playable, such as The Infinaut or Ebony Maw, will become playable the turn after War Machine is revealed!

LIMITED-TIME EVENT: AVENGERS VS. X-MEN!

Choose your side, and gain bonuses for a limited time!

During this month’s Imbalance Patch, choose a side in the Avengers vs. X-Men conflict! Pick your favorite team, fill your deck with its strongest heroes, and gain in-game Power bonuses. For the Avengers, fortifying a specific location with teammates gives that location +3 Power. Meanwhile you can deploy X-Men anywhere and once you’ve played enough of them, they’ll all receive additional Power. Check it out!

Avengers assemble!

Locations with 3 Avengers have +3 Power.

To me, my X-Men!

Once you play 4, X-Men have +1 Power.

Character Spotlight: Hope Summers

Introducing the courageous power parodier, who was forced on the run since birth due to her immense potential — Please welcome, the “Mutant Messiah,” Hope Summers!

After you play a card here, you get +1 Energy next turn.

Born Wanted, On The Run

Following the events of the infamous M-Day, when the Scarlet Witch stripped the majority of mutants’ abilities away, it seemed that mutant-kind was no longer and would eventually be entirely wiped out. That was until, for the first time ever, a baby was born with her mutant gene immediately detectable upon birth — Hope.

Her very existence caused the X-Men’s mutant-detecting computer, Cerebro, to go completely offline. The tale of her immense power reached the ears of many across the multiverse, and she quickly became the most sought after target of people and organizations with both good and ill intent.

Even fellow mutants such as the time-traveling X-Man, Bishop, viewed Hope’s existence as a major threat, believing that she would be the cause of countless lost lives. Bishop pointed to Hope Summers as the likely cause of his home, Earth-1191’s dystopian fate, and plotted to slay her for destroying his Earth.

In a rush to protect her, Cable and Deadpool tracked down and whisked baby Hope off to safety. Cable brought Hope up as his daughter, traveling through the timestream evading enemy forces which seek to hunt her down, and training her in self-defense tactics.

Through Hope and Cable’s journey across the timestream, Hope learned survival and warfare tactics, and honed her mutant powers to become capable of imitating the powers of any other mutant she encounters. Once she became fully self-capable of honing her powers, Hope joined forces with several mutant-protecting groups, including the X-Men and X-Force.

A Power Befitting The Messiah

Hope is an Omega Level mutant with the ability to manipulate the powers of other mutants in her close proximity — granting her near-limitless potential, as she may replicate an infinite number of mutant abilities.

Hope’s primary ability, Power Mimicry, enables her to copy the powers of any nearby mutants. Unlike other mutants with similar abilities, such as Rogue, Hope does not need to make physical contact and the person whose powers are copied suffers no negative effects. The powers she duplicates are at full capacity and she has complete control over them, but will fade away with increased time, usage, or distance from the target. Hope also has immunity to other power absorption abilities, as demonstrated when Rogue’s ability had no effect on her.

Hope’s Power Mimicry ability is represented in MARVEL SNAP through her unique effect:

After you play a card here, you get +1 Energy next turn.

Everyone wants to chase Hope Summers down in order to harness her immense power — in MARVEL SNAP, you are rewarded for chasing Hope down by playing more cards at the location she occupies!

Try using low-cost cards to get a benefit from her ability more quickly, and use cards that move or return to your hand, such as Nightcrawler, Silk, Spider-Man, Falcon, and Kitty Pryde, to trigger Hope’s energy boost over and over!

Character Spotlight: Beta Ray Bill

MARVEL SNAP welcomes the mighty Korbinite warrior who wields the exceptional powers of Stormbreaker!!

On Reveal: Shuffle Stormbreaker into your deck.

On Reveal: Double Beta Ray Bill’s Power.

When the Burning Galaxy was destroyed through the machinations of Surtur, the surviving Korbinites decided to choose a champion who would lead them to their new home. The Korbinite known as Beta Ray Bill was successful and transformed into a cybernetic being resembling a fierce creature.
Piloting his ship, Skuttlebut — Beta Ray Bill forged a path toward a new home — single-handedly warding off legions of demons sent by Surtur to annihilate their fleet.
As the Korbinite fleet was approaching the Milky Way galaxy, it was detected by S.H.I.E.L.D., and Nick Fury called upon Thor to investigate. Skuttlebutt deemed Thor a threat and so Beta Ray Bill commenced battle with him.
In the heat of battle, Thor was separated from his mighty hammer — Mjolnir. Bill picked up Mjolnir and the hammer deemed him worthy, granting him the power of Thor!
Accordingly, Odin deemed it necessary to transport both Thor and Bill to Asgard, where Bill asserted that the hammer should remain his as he had fairly won it. To settle this dispute, Odin decreed the two battle to the death in Skartheim to see who would claim Mjolnir. Bill’s Korbinite physiology granted him a fire resistance advantage in Skartheim’s lava-filled environment.
Bill bested Thor in battle, but refused to take his life.
It is believed that Odin chose this battle location to further test Bill’s worthiness and to teach Thor a lesson. Bill had chosen wisely by sparing Thor, who would later become his close ally.
Mjolnir was returned to Thor, and Odin ordered the creation of the hammer Stormbreaker, which was then granted to Bill.
With the righteous Stormbreaker by his side, Bill has since continued to protect both Korbinites and Asgardians!

Beta Ray Bill displays incredible power in practically every aspect — donned with godlike strength, speed, energy, durability, and more!

In MARVEL SNAP, his courageous strength is demonstrated through the unique ability to call upon Stormbreaker!

Stormbreaker holds the power to… Well, increase Bill’s Power!
Pair Beta Ray Bill and his Stormbreaker alongside cards that love to increase Power — Forge, America Chavez, Nakia, Elsa Bloodstone, Shuri…
Help Bill get the most out of Stormbreaker with cards such as Jane Foster, Wong, and Grandmaster!
Have fun SNAPPING with the power of the epic hero known as Beta Ray Bill!!
