With July kicking off with the observance of Canada Day, the Marvel Universe's greatest superheroes from the Yukon nation are joining the popular mobile game Marvel Contest of Champions in a new update.
A cheeky trailer for the update, in the style of an old, educational newsreel, introduces players to the Canadian superhero scene, from a feral Wolverine wielding a hockey stick to Sasquatch and Guardian, key members of the Canadian government-sponsored team Alpha Flight. Also, with Canada in the spotlight, a certain Merc with a Mouth crashes the proceedings to show his own northern pride.
The update has the Battle Crystals begin to appear throughout Canada, causing Alpha Flight to investigate as other Canadian superheroes and villains continue to battle against one another in the composite world of Battlerealm.
First launched in 2014, Contest of Champions has the Collector trap heroes and villains from across the Marvel Multiverse in Battle Crystals to battle against each other on Battlerealm. Since its debut, the game has featured expansions inspired by various Marvel storylines and properties, adding to the extensive roster of playable characters to join the no-holds-barred, cosmic conflict.
Developed by Kabam, Marvel Contest of Champions is available on the App Store and Google Play for iOS and Android devices.
