Does Kabam plan to release movie tie in champs again?

SkyLord7000

Pre-COVID, Kabam used to release champs that tie in with the MCU movies going as far as releasing black widow (deadly origin) and red guardian before the movie was delayed due to COVID.

Since then Shang-Chi and No Way Home haven’t seen the same trend. There might be a multiverse of madness tie in with the release of the roadmap, but that’s all speculation.

Kabam are you going to do movie tie ins again?

(Of course it’s not a bad thing either way I’m just curious )

Shang chi got the trend just very early in the year.

Venom month saw knull, not specific tie in but still.

Eternals was a specific tie in.

Kraven came out with the new spider man.

I am sure we will get more tie ins, but as there are more sequels it becomes repetitive to release the same champ again an again.

I think what we witnessed is more because of the changes in the delivery of the movies.

Kabam had a schedule from Marvel, but that schedule got tossed out the window because of COVID.

Yeah, Kabam usually gets the info about movie releases and stuff early on and they start their builds to correspond with the release date but obviously the pandemic threw everything for a loop and suddenly they have Champions ready to go but no movie tie-in for release.

And as you can see with a lot of the movie tie-ins, they try to make them look pretty accurate to what you see in the film and a lot of that is because they're usually given early Peaks at the artwork and costume designs of what the champion will look like. The only notable exceptions on the design fronts are any characters released in the fox films (X-men, Deadpool, etc.) or Shang-Chi, who they went with more of a traditional look from the comics.
