I've made an update adjusting who could come in October as well as one for the month of July. I'm continuing to review spots available on the map, clues from Fight The Multiverse, and some of mystery synergies.
January - Absorbing Man, Baron Zemo February - Stature (or Stinger), Iron Lad, or Patriot March - Abigail Brand, Aurora (Northstar) April - Sandman, Lizard, or Hobgoblin, Silk May - Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary June - Echo, Kate Bishop July - Monica Rambeua(Photon), Patriot (filling the spot in Patriot Garrison) August - Summoner's Choice, 2099 Character September - Pyro, Polaris October - Scream (filling the spot in Symbiote Empire), Morgan le Fey (filling a spot in the area between the Negative Zone & Dark Dimension) November - Ironheart December – Agatha
There’s a mutant crossover event in the comics and Kabam always have a mutant event in game around the same time. Interchangeable with September.
April - Kabam OG (Langurian), 2099 character
New character related to the new stage that has been teased already will come sooner rather than later
June - Silk, Hobgoblin
Silk has been teased in synergy. Hobgoblin was on the summoners choice last year but didn’t make it past the first round. He wasn’t on the summoners choice underdog earlier this year. Miike said if they’re not in the underdog vote, they may already be on the release schedule.
September - Spiral, X force member
Gabe said Spiral will be the first 6 armed character. Other character will also have something to do with the mojo verse / x men 97
New character related to the new stage that has been teased already will come sooner rather than later
If you have read Gabe’s Twitter, you should know that he reviewed his last new stage and champion before he left Kabam. The stage is original but the new champion is not.
I'm making a revision after realizing I had Patriot in two places. Not only that I looked @magnus_xix post and it got my gears turning. There is a spot for both an X-Force member and there is a spot for the Mojoverse. Spiral clearly unless they go another route to fill the Mojoverse spot and I just picked Feral for X-Force, but honestly it could be Warpath (that would be cool) or Cannonball as well. I also moved Silk to replace Echo. I'm curious who will fill the spot on the map in the area of the Black Iso Mafia. One other move I did was place Hobgoblin next to Ironheart.
January - Absorbing Man, Baron Zemo February - Stature (or Stinger), Iron Lad March - Abigail Brand, Aurora (Northstar) April - Sandman, Lizard, or Hobgoblin May - Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary June - Silk, Kate Bishop July - Monica Rambeua(Photon), Patriot (filling the spot in Patriot Garrison) August - Summoner's Choice, 2099 Character September - Feral, Spiral October - Scream (filling the spot in Symbiote Empire), Morgan le Fey (filling a spot in the area between the Negative Zone & Dark Dimension) November - Ironheart, Hobgoblin December – Agatha

One quick edit. I forgot to remove Hobgoblin from next to Lizard so made that adjustment.

So to give my best guess as to what champs are coming, I tried firstly separating the 2022 champs from the 2023 champs in the SOTB map and got this Blue = 2022 champs Red = 2023 champs
Then I paired up the territories that have the champs that would be the most logical to come together. Below was my list. I'm fairly confident about the pairings but the exact month they would release is up in the air for a few of them.
Jan - Department H, Secret Empire Feb - Quantum Realm, Ultron Network Mar- Clan of Wolverine x2 Apr- 2099 Sector, Languria May - King Groot's Kingdom, Galactic Crossroads Jun - Sinister Lands, Spider-verse Jul - Galactic Crossroads, Avengers Space Aug - Summoner’s Choice, Department H Sept - X-force, Mojoverse Oct - Symbiote Empire, Sinister Lands Nov - Iron Nation, Patriot Garrison Dec - Temple of Vishanti Trophy champ - Los Mercs 4 Gold
Lastly, I filled in the champs that would fit into these terratories and into what we know from synergies, teases etc.
Jan - Absorbing Man, Baron Zemo Feb - Stinger, Viv vision Mar - Daken, Silver Samurai Apr - Ereshkigal, 2099 character May - Adam Warlock, High Evolutionary/Magus Jun - Silk, Hobgoblin Jul - Photon, Maria Hill Aug - Summoner’s Choice, Beta Ray Bill? Sep - Spiral, Shatterstar Oct - Scream, Lizard Nov - Ironheart, Patriot Dec - Agatha Trophy - Piratepool
just gonna throw it out there, I think March's champs will be mutant related and, since it's International Women's Month, they'll be female; possibly Lady Deathstrike and a hero mutant or maybe two heroes.
Plan on updating my predictions after watching the Year 8 Narrative Roadmap video and doing some analyzing. I've watched the video a couple times already and feel very confident where I have some champions, but others I need to analyze the video some more. Exciting this video is only for the first half of 2023.
Champions for 2023 January – Absorbing Man & Baron Zemo February – Stature (Stinger) & Iron Lad March – Kate Bishop & Viv Vision April – Silk & Sandman (or Lizard) May – Adam Warlock & High Evolutionary June – Forge or Mirage, Spiral or Shatterstar July – Monica Rambeua (Photon), Patriot August – Summoner’s Choice, 2099 Character September – Lizard (or Sandman), Aurora or Puck October – Scream, Morgan Le Fey November – Ironheart, Hobgoblin December – Agatha
I'm confident for my January picks. I agree with Jay Axe on this between the Synergies, places open on the State of the Battlerealm Map, The Fight for the Multiverse and then the 8 Year Roadmap video it is obvious. As far as February I am very confident with Stature(Stinger) and the other pick the reason I believe Iron Lad could work as they mentioned the Quantum Realm, family, and responsibility. This could tie in for Iron Lad as one he is a variant thus related to Kang (family you could say) which ties in both the Quantum Realm and responsibility. This also ties in with our champions which I believe are coming in March that being Kate Bishop and Viv Vision. Along with the fact we have already Wiccan and Hulkling it just seems to make sense to get more Young Avengers.
I feel between the fact we still have two open spots on the state of the Battlerealm map for Sinister Lands we are going to fill those spots, but I think we will get one in the April event and then another one in the second half of the year. With that in mind and the fact that there is the Alumni synergy I believe our two champions for April will be Silk & Sandman (or Lizard). For the month of May I am in full agreement with Jay Axe that we will be getting both Adam Warlock and High Evolutionary. I believe Adam Warlock will fill in a question mark in Galactic Crossroads or King Groot's Kingdom (tie in with the Guardians), but like Jay I'm trying to find the best spot for the High Evolutionary.
Lastly we have June, I have four people who could potentially fill the spots that being Spiral, Mirage, Forge, and Shatterstar. Three out of the four could fill in the X-Force spot on the map which has me leaning to Forge agreeing with Jay that Forge is iconic and I could see him being helpful with his use of technology and time travel helping to deal with the Galactus threat. If that is the case then Mirage probably won't come. Then lookin at the Mojoverse spot and weighing between Spiral and Shatterstar I'm leaning to Spiral. I see her to be a unique type of champion to add with six arms and she is certainly associated with the Mojoverse especially considering who we have already Mojo and Longshot.
Thought about it and realized I should have posted this in this discussion:
Using the above map I want to post my thoughts from the champions we got in May till December last year where they could each go and update accordingly especially after the Year 8 Roadmap video.
May – Wong & Rintrah (Temple of Vishanti) These two characters are pretty obvious where they go unless Kabam throws a unique, odd placement for either of the, June – Hulkling & Wiccan (New Avengers) Here comes my first champions that could in multiple spots. Hulking could go in one of the New Avengers spot, but could potentially go in the spot above Darkhawk in the Galactic Crossroads. Wiccan could go in one of the New Avengers spot, but could also go in the Temple of Vishanti especially considering he is part of the synergy Next In Line. July – Valkyrie & Gorr (The Nine Realms) Like the champions in May I'm confident of these two and there placement on the map. Aug – Galan & Quicksilver (Galan is New Taa) (Quicksilver is Avenger’s Space) For this month while they could surprise us with Quicksilver's placement I don't think they will considering the spot is above Scarlet Witch, yep brother and sister together. Galan is obviously in New Taa. Sept – Titania & Iron Man (Infamous) (Titania is Latveria)(Iron Man Infamous is one of the questions above Latveria) For September I have made guesses, but curious since Titania or Iron Man (Infamous) could both fit in the spot in Latvia, but I'm still leaning on Titania filling that spot. As for Iron Man (Infamous) he could go in the spot above near Latveria, below Sector 2099, but maybe they could put him in Secret Empire or even that area between Forbidden Territories, Dark Dimension, and Negative Zone. Oct – Spider-Man (Supreme) & Spot (Spider Man Supreme in Spider-Verse)(Spot is in Sinister Lands) Spot I'm confident he will be in Sinister Lands. for Spider Man Supreme could either go in Temple of Vishanti or Spider-Verse. Nov – Shuri & Attuma (Shuri in Kingdom of Wakanda & Attuma in Oceanic Cascade) For November I'm confident in their placement as Shuri in Kingdom of Wakanda and Attuma representing Oceanic Cascade. Dec – Mantis (in King Groot’s Kingdom) Same as May, July, and November I'm confident this is where Mantis will fit. This also works with I believe Adam Warlock coming to the game this year in May. So that sums up my thoughts. Curious to hear other people's thoughts and continue let us enjoy discussing who else is coming in 2023 to MCOC!
Champions for 2023 [Predictions] January – Absorbing Man & Baron Zemo February – Stature (Stinger) & Iron Lad March – Kate Bishop & Viv Vision April – Silk & Sandman (or Lizard) May – Adam Warlock & High Evolutionary June – Forge or Mirage, Spiral or Shatterstar July – Monica Rambeua (Photon), Patriot August – Summoner’s Choice, 2099 Character September – Lizard (or Sandman), Aurora or Puck October – Scream, Morgan Le Fey November – Ironheart, Hobgoblin December – Agatha
Champions for 2023 [Actual] January – Absorbing Man & Baron Zemo February – Cassie Lang & Future Ant-Man
So far I'm 3 for 4.
I'm in the process of reviewing some of my choices for July - December as I think about who has come so far, what was said in the Year 8 Narrative Road Map, and looking over places on the map.

Please do remember, there is still March through December left. So yeah I didn't do as well with February as January, but its still fun making predictions and seeing what happens.
Update I'm now 5/6 with both Kate Bishop and Viv Vision coming in March! Excited to see what they add to the game and what the other months have in store for us!
Update I'm now 6/8 as Sandman came as I suspected and Shocker, yes pun intended was a shock! I feel confident that next month both champions I've predicted will come that being Adam Warlock and the High Evolutionary. @Jay_Axe and I have the same predictions for both May and June.
Hoping to have my July through December predictions polished up so as when time they will posted on twitter.
Update, Now I'm sitting at 7 correct and 3 wrong. Not bad odds so far. Now waiting to see how June goes. I feel April and May had surprise curveball champions in Shocker and Moon Dragon.

Funny how I thought to update my predictions last month with the mystery synergies Moondragon had, but didn't. If I had I would have gotten at least one right. Course I did say Lady Deathstrike was coming, but I didn't expect this early. My predictions are updated slightly, but still need to review a bit more than finalize.
