With over 350 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other classic Marvel Super Heroes and Villains such as Tombstone, Sandman, Spider-Man (Miles Morales), Spider-Slayer (J. Jonah Jameson), and more.

GWENOM

While Gwen Stacy faced the mutated Venom Symbiote of Earth-65, the Kingpin known as Matt Murdock revealed that her father had been beaten into a coma by Rhino with little to no chance of survival. Fueled by rage, Gwen gave into the rhythms of her heart and let the symbiote take over, granting her immense destructive power and turning her into the most unstable, broken version of herself: Gwenom.

SPIDER-MAN NOIR

On Earth-90214, in 1930s New York, Peter B. Parker is the nephew of the activist Aunt May with a strong hatred for crime, particularly towards those who killed his Uncle Ben. When following a criminal tip led to an accident, he gained arachnid-like abilities when bit by a spider. Publicly he’s a Private Investigator, but secretly he uses his powers to take down crime as the hardboiled Spider-Man Noir.

EVENT QUEST – SHADOW OF A DOUBT [SEP 9 – OCT 6]: There’s trouble here, big trouble with a capital B. The kind of trouble that lurks in dark alleys and makes the shadows nervous. Lucky for you the most talented web-swinging detective in the Multiverse has wall-crawled his way into The Contest. But will SPIDER-MAN NOIR be enough to crack this case of corruption, confusion, and challenging Champions? One thing is for sure, the addition of GWENOM will be making for more menacing mysteries! What will bring this case to light? Find out in SHADOW OF A DOUBT!

AGATHA HARKNESS

Agatha Harkness is an ancient and powerful witch, whose life span stretches back before the Salem Witch Trials. She relies on her wits and unparalleled knowledge of dark and forbidden magic to thrive across multiple eras. She is the mentor of the powerful Scarlet Witch and she also maintains positive relationships with many heroes, but she often finds herself walking a very thin line between ally and villain.

SPIDER-MAN (SYMBIOTE) REWORK OVERHAUL

One of Peter Parker’s most famous and notorious costumes enters The Contest to unleash its alien powers. Cosmic in origins, this dark version of Spidey’s suit has a mind of its own.

★EVENT QUEST – MAIDEN, MOTHER, CRONE [July 8 – August 5]: Agatha Harkness has arrived, or has she been here all along? This wicked expert of witchcraft claims to be assisting heroes such as Wiccan and Nico Minoru investigate mysterious “Symbiomancy” occurrences. However when magic is in the air, nothing is as it seems. Even a friendly face like Spider-Man (Symbiote) can become a villainous new foe.

REVENGE OF LEGENDS EVENT

Winter Soldier has had enough, and been used as a punching bag one too many times. He’s gathered his buddies from Realm of Legends for the Summoner to take on over multiple weeks, ready to take revenge with their new found power. The Realm of Legends Event will cap off with new permanent Challenge content, but be sure to defeat each week while you can to maximize rewards! For Summoners with a worthy resolve, overcoming these challenges will reward you handsomely.

★PHASE 1 [August 12 – September 9]

Face down multiple weeks of punishing fights and challenging Champions to show that The Summoner is truly the most epic force within The Battlerealm. This full Quest will take place over several weeks, with only its FINAL week’s challenge remaining after this month is over. So Summoners will want to rush to this Boss Fight if they want to play the full (and challenging) experience.

○Retribution of Legends Side Quest: Over four weeks, players will face down the hardest challenges The Contest has to offer, but will be given the upper hand via custom Nodes to ensure this battle feels truly triumphant, not purely punishing. Keep up the fight to earn a free RONAN and take out the final defenders.

○Revenge of Legends Realm Event: Defeat opponents in the Revenge of Legends Quest or Retribution Side Quest.

○Bonus! Defeat a Retribution opponent with a Saga Champion, defeat the final boss in the Retribution of Legends Side Quest, complete a Revenge or Retribution Quest Objective, complete a Target Dummy Objective Tier, and complete the “Revenge is…” or “A Dish Best Served Cold” objectives.

With over 300 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other classic Marvel Super Heroes and villains such as Moon Knight, Doctor Strange, Daredevil, Namor, and more.

WAVE

Pearl Pangan is a swift swimmer hailing from Cebu, Philippines. During an opportunity to use her talents in a study of swimmers, a raid on the facility led to discovering her power of hydrokinesis: the ability to manipulate water. With her newfound powers, she took up the mantle of hero as ‘Wave’, fighting alongside Triumph Division and Agents of Atlas.

GHOST RIDER (REWORK) 

Tricked by the demonic being Mephisto into selling his soul to save a loved one, stunt cyclist Johnny Blaze soon found himself bonded to the Spirit of Vengeance, a being of almost unlimited power from Hell itself. With the power to control Hellfire as well as his mystical Hell Cycle and Hell Chains, Ghost Rider has turned against Mephisto’s purpose and instead uses his newfound abilities to protect the innocent and cast judgment upon the wicked.

EVENT QUEST: In Hot Water [May 6–June 3]: Mephisto is 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. Will making waves extinguish the flames of evil?

COLLECTIVES LAUNCH 

Introducing a new permanent feature for players to chase horizontal roster growth with Class Collectives! 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. The Collectives feature will be available starting May 6.

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 REWARDS TO CHASE: Players can complete Collective activities and empower Captains to earn fresh, high-value rewards tailored to each player.

EXCITING USPs:

• Turn Collectives of Champions into permanent roster‑wide growth.

• Chase long‑term growth by adding visible power to your favorite Collective of Champions!
