Glorious Games

Introducing the third Saga: Glorious Games! To celebrate the history of The Contest and his triumphant return, The Maestro has declared four months of celebratory games. Each month of the Saga will revolve around a different element of games, starting with September’s Circus Maximus and culminating in the celebration of December’s Grand Banquet!

CHARACTER BIOS

Count Luchino Nefaria was the descendant of a long line of Italian noblemen, and used his wealth and connections to become a powerful leader within the Maggia crime syndicate. He furthered his rise to power by subjecting himself to scientific experiments that granted him superhuman abilities, but cost him his life. He was later resurrected as a being made entirely of Ionic energy, rendering him effectively immortal as long as he drains other Ionic beings to maintain his power.

Shathra, Daughter of Elder Goddesses Oshtur and Gaea, comes from the world that would come to be known as Loomworld. Shathra was tasked with creating the Celestial Map of Humanity – however, after being outdone by younger sister Neith, she became enraged with jealousy and spite towards her sister and the Great Web she had designed. Consumed by her vengeance and envy, Shathra gave into her feral nature to tear down everything her sister created, one Spider at a time.

Stay tuned for more Anniversary content and the start of Act 9 – Chapter 1: THE RECKONING on September 11. Other Marvel Contest of Champions updates, including bug fixes, balance updates, the “Lupus In Fabula” event quest, “Ludum Maximus” side quest, Realm Events, and more can be found HERE.

Here is a quick look at what The Contest has in store this month:

Deadpool Teams up with Negasonic Teenage Warhead and the Mercs for Money to tackle a lucrative train heist for a mysterious employer. However, things quickly go south when the Mercs find out Deadpool’s been keeping secrets about the job. To make matters worse, the Mercs quickly realize they’re not the only one on the job when Silver Sable shows up to claim the same artifact.

Silver Sable, a born leader and a master of many forms of martial arts, she is a highly skilled marksman and swordsman, using her training to lead a group of reformed criminals working as mercenaries in a group known as the “Wild Pack”. As the CEO of Silver Sable International, she helps provide security, recover stolen property, and apprehend felons for big companies and even countries.

Eloise Phimister, a.k.a. Negasonic Teenage Warhead, was once a devout student of Emma Frost and was among the mutants wiped out by the wild Sentinel attack on Genosha. After being resurrected by the External Selene, Negasonic Teenage Warhead’s powers have grown, enhancing her precognition and allowing her to create fiery bursts of atomic energy as well as the ability to shape reality itself.

Here is a quick look at the first Saga “X-Magic”:

New epic themes stretching across multiple months of adventures in The Contest are coming! The first of these Sagas is X-Magica and will span from March 6 to June 5. Here’s what you have to look forward to!

In this first Saga X-Magica, we witness rising threats looming over the Mutants and Mystics of The Battlerealm. Heroes must unite these two disparate groups as they face constant attacks from fearsome foes.

Knull and his army of Symbiotes have set their eye on the mutant island paradise of Krakoa, intent on consuming its inhabitants to add to his growing army of parasitic monstrosities. On the other side of The Battlerealm, Kingpin has begun his foray into the realm of arcane crime, starting with a highly lucrative heist targeting Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum. Seeing an opportunity to collaborate, Magik, Nightcrawler, and Scarlet Witch set about establishing an alliance between Mutants and Mystics in the hopes of saving both from these calamitous villains.

Can the sorcerers push back Knull’s rising tide of darkness and save Krakoa from annihilation? Can the X-Men dismantle Kingpin’s magical mob of arcane empowered criminals? Find out in the first ever exciting Saga – X-Magica!
