Hi everyone, sorry for another thread but I honestly have nothing else to do and I'm curious. I just wanna know, with the release of WandaVision on Jan15, when would Kabam release their characters. So basically, how long after the release of a show or movies does Kabam release the characters from that show or movie?

The only TV related ones have been Quake and Daredevil HK. I wouldn't necessarily bank on getting something with every show, however I am kinda expecting the Scarlet Witch next month, something from Falcon and The Winter Soldier (solely due to Falcon's ? synergy) and maaaaaaybe something for Loki given the State of the Battlerealm image showing two new Asgardians.
Back in November 2019 during the infamous Dark Day, the mods opened up a Q&A to pass the time and someone asked about how it works with movie characters, so Miike explained that Kabam has access to a laptop that is synced up with Marvel HQ and it's through Marvel that they get a told in advance what movies and characters are coming up so they can start developing the champs and ensure a release to coincide with the film/show. And I believe it is through Marvel that they get the final say-so of who is eligible and who is ineligible to use in the game which is why they did not release movie versions of venom or Riot and why any X-Men characters they release have to look like their comic book counterparts rather than their film versions.
I’m expecting Scarlet Witch in February/March as to not spoil bits of the show.
As for films, it’s generally a rule of thumb we’ll get at least two characters for each movie. The Disney+ shows are unknown since this is the first one, but expect new characters this year for Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Eternals, and Spider-Man 3.
- Kingpin & Luke Cage came out around the same time as the Daredevil, and Jessica Jones series. Luke was actually introduced in the EQ by Jones (see Variant 6)
- Medusa & Karnak came out alongside the legendarily bad Inhumans series.
Still hoping Kabam will one day notice the Cloak and Dagger series, and Runaways.
The month after gave them the third tie in character, AOU Ultron.
