Marvel Contest of Champions brings Aquatic Champions, New Events, Giveaways, Side Quests, and much more in a brand new update.
Kabam’s Marvel Contest of Champions has a big update planned for May, introducing Aquatic Champions, new events, giveaways, side quests, bundles, reworks, and much more.
New Hero - WAVE and Ghost Rider Rework
One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming update is the new Hero, WAVE, who arrives on May 28, along with the Ghost Rider rework, going live on May 14.
New Event Quest
From May 6 to June 3, players will be able to take on a new event quest, with the setting being Mephisto invading Atlantis in search of hidden treasures, and his fiery foe, Ghost Rider, is on the scene to stop his fiendish plans.
However, Namor would prefer aquatic assistance on the team. So Pearl Pangan, aka WAVE, has arrived on The Contest’s shores to help with this devilish dilemma.
Collective Launch
On May 6, aside from the new event quest, the new Class Collectives permanent feature for players to chase horizontal roster growth will also go live.
Collectives are a group of Champions who all share an Attribute and are ranked up as a group. Thronebreaker and higher Summoners can utilize this new feature to gain rewards and benefits from ranking up Champions.
- Honor Past Investments: Every past investment will boost the strength of your entire roster, now and in the future.
- Increase Champion Power + More Progression Opportunities: Existing Champions feed into Collectives, so the roster built over the years now unlocks even more power!
- New free rewards: Players can complete Collective activities and empower Captains to earn fresh, high-value rewards tailored to each player.
- New USPs:
- Turn Collectives of Champions into permanent roster‑wide growth.
- Every Champion built matters: past investments power up the whole group.
- Push Champions higher by ranking up to unlock new permanent power!
- Chase long‑term growth by adding visible power to your favorite Collective of Champions!
