We got Stealthy and Mysterio for FFH, Attuma and Shuri for Wakanda Forever, Rintrah and Wong for Multiverse of Madness, and Valkyrie and Gorr for Thor 4. It's not Kabam's fault the release dates went to hell due to the strikes last year. Adam Warlock came from GOTG 3, too...
Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four: First Steps are likely to get tie in events in May and July for their release dates.
I don't think it's likely. This seems to not be a trend at all anymore.
Spider Man Far From Home, Thor Love and Thunder, Wakanda Forever, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Guardians 3 all did not have any champions released along with them.
In the past few years, from what I can recall, Photon was the only release that coincided with a (planned) release date, since she came out August '23 and The Marvels once was slated to come out in. July '23 before being moved to November. Cassie Lang also came out around Quantimania. Before that, it was Eternals in 2021.
Same goes for people thinking there will be another Daredevil-related character in March, I wouldn't hold my breath. Out of EVERY single MCU show so far, only Falcon came out when his show came out.
Let's start with the fact that every half-year the Kabam try to maintain class completeness (just release 6 champions of different classes in a half-year) but sometimes it happened that only 1 class was missing for the half year.
Based on recent leaks, we're supposed to have Joaquin Torres (Science) and Arnim Zola (Tech) coming out next month. Also, remember that Arnim Zola was teased in the 10th Anniversary trailer last month. Thus, in the first 2 months we already have 4 classes out of 6. Further, it was also mentioned in the leaks that Yelena Belova (Skill) is the May champion (I apologize for spreading leaks on the forum, but at the moment this is necessary to create a complete picture) and some month there will also be Jean Grey (who is also apparently a member of Gentle's "Psychotherapy" mystery synergy) We know that Ares will appear soon, but we don't know when and it is also likely that he is a participant in Count Nefaria's mystery synergy "Back from the Dead". Let's assume that Ares will actually have a Skill class, considering that he is literally the God of War. We also have someone with the mystery synergy Isophyne "get out of my dimension!!". Depending on how you look at this synergy, it could be a champion, which has its own dimension (for example Morgan Le Fay and Nightmare, who are both Mystic champs) or the one that Isophyne banishes from her dimension (BattleRealm), since the known participants of the synergy are very comical and annoying champions (Howard, Gwenpool and Spot), so I also consider the Impossible Man (Cosmic) and his name says it all or Slapstick (Science) to be similar annoying champions. Also from the trailer we have a hint of the appearance of Bastion and I am more than sure that it was not added for nothing, because Tyler knows a thing or two about hidden teasers (Of course I mean the same "OZT" in the language of the Elders in the codex of the Watcher. For those who don't know, OZT – Operation: Zero Tolerance, which has also already appeared in the game, for example as a Solo Objective in October 2022 on Omega Sentinel:
For the last 2 years, June has been Tech villains vs. Mutants month. Let's say this year is no exception, in which case I'd guess Bastion will be released in June with someone who would really make a great pairing for him, Mystique or Jean Grey (if the second one doesn't end up in Sigil in one of the months) or be Armor.
In May we have the movie Thunderbolts* coming out and we will get Yelena Belova according to the leak. I would definitely pair her with US Agent (John Walker), as he is one of the Thunderbolts in the movie and he would also be more likely to be a Science class. As a second I could take O'Grady (Science or Tech) as an option. (And purely logically it shouldn't be Eidol, since these are champions dedicated to the movie premiere and I don't remember Kabam releasing such champions with their Orig champs)
April. Yes, there has already been a dispute about April being a spider-month only in recent years and yet we wait for the Lizard every April... In short, considering the class completeness, we should have Mystic and Cosmic released in the remaining two months, April and March. But we also take into account that we should, in theory, release Eidol in the first half of the year. And judging by its abilities, as presented in this month's event quest: "Precious Metal", it converts energy into solid light projections that can mimic the body and abilities the one whose form the projection takes. And she also loves metals and is able to control them (she infected vibranium with her "perfection" in order to be able to control it). And she also calls these projections with his toys and like a puppeteer pulls their strings, so it looks like Eidol the puppeteer, she also puts on a show and happily watches its participants suffer and craves audience sympathy, (and yes, this is not Mojo haha): Of course, one could assume that the love of metals is seen as a Tech Eidol, but I think that the transformation and manipulation of energy into light constructs is more like a Cosmic Eidol (in any case in this case I think it's either Cosmic or Tech Eidol) And this Eidol can only come out in March/April or June (in general, it can also fit into the Tech villains vs mutants month, if she is of the Tech class)
Now let's turn to the December EQ "Violent Delights": I assumed back in December that these attacks were consistent from January to March. In January, there was an attack on Wakanda and their Vibranium. In February, there was an attack on New Manhattan and, surprisingly, judging by the February champion leaks, we'll have Joaquin Torres and Arnim Zola, who are totally New Manhattan/New York City. There is an attack on Asgard in March, judging by the attack on Odin's ravens. This is why (though not only because of this) I believe Ares will appear in March. Who can he go out with? If Eidol is a Cosmic class that doesn't come out in March AND at the same time there is no Mystic champion coming out in April/June (and I still remind you that I adhere to class completeness), then Mystic champion should come out with Ares and of course I will say – Morgan Le Fay. If Mystic does come out in one of the months following March in the first half of the year (or it will be the case when there is 1 class missing to class completeness), then with Ares I see Eidol (if he is Cosmic) or Cosmic Champion – I think it could be Moonstone or maybe Zeus or Athena (although she would probably also be a Skill class) BUT taking into account again possible hints about future events from the December EQ "Violent Delights", namely: DEFENDERS are atacking ASGARDIANS. I will assume that we are also talking about March. What Defenders could join Ares? Blue Marvel (Science), Wonder Man (Science), and I think Hellstrom (Mystic), at least they all have personal scores to settle with Ares. And the army of Spider-Men fight each other (obviously these are the events of April) if he also remains a spider month. In general, the context is similar to the events of 2022, when the army of Spider-men began to feud with each other over the burned Web of Fate and Destiny. And this month we have two Spider-Man villains, Shocker and Sandman. Perhaps the events of April will be somewhat similar to that Spider-Mans feud and then we get two spiderman villains, one of which, if Mystic is not the one with Ares, should be Mystic champ (even if Eidol is released in April instead of March) well, in general from the mystics and the spiderman villain i cant remember anyone except Demogoblin, although I don't think it will come out before Hobgoblin. And I hope that I will still see the Black Tarantula in April and I don't think that the Lizard will appear this year, yeah...
Also, regarding Eidols, Eidols-puppeteer said one interesting thing, which traces the influence/abilities of Eidols, although maybe I'm driving myself crazy, lol: As far as I can tell, the Puppeteer Eidol is watching the chaos (calling it a scene). Isophyne is causing this chaos due to the ISO crystals effect on the champions, spreading anger and hate. Fear... There are two options: either it is meant in general about the fear that the Eidols sowed, or the third (or last Eidol) will spread fear himself, like Serpent
And also, in September, when the Orochi animation was shown, at first I thought that Kabam was developing a Marrow. Seriously, her animation of pulling out spikes on her back definitely reminded me of Marrow's abilities.
Overall, considering all of this, I think we'll get Puppeteer's Eidol in March or April (if it comes out in the first half of the year), and here's what my "blind" prediction for the first half of the year looks like: March: Ares (Skill) and Eidol (Cosmic) or Morgan Le Fay (Mystic) or Blue Marvel (Science), or Wonder man (Science) and I still don't think it will be Hellstrom. April: Black Tarantula(Skill)/Hobgoblin(Tech)/Lizard (Science) and Eidol (cosmic) or If it's a spider-man, it's Jessica Drew (Science) May: Yelena Belova (Skill) and Agent US (Science) June: Bastion (Tech) and Mystique/Jean Grey (Mutations) And based on this assumption, it looks like we won't have enough Mystic Champion classes to be complete, or maybe Kabam will surprise us and the completeness will be maintained, we'll see.
Although by April I would probably add Chameleon as an option. I have a feeling he has a high chance of joining...

I was going to say "I need you all to STOP quoting Xleb's long as post" and then I saw... YOU QUOTED YOUR OWN POST just to add a sentence to it?
Thunderbolts* and Fantastic Four: First Steps are likely to get tie in events in May and July for their release dates.
I don't think it's likely. This seems to not be a trend at all anymore.
Spider Man Far From Home, Thor Love and Thunder, Wakanda Forever, Deadpool & Wolverine, and Guardians 3 all did not have any champions released along with them.
In the past few years, from what I can recall, Photon was the only release that coincided with a (planned) release date, since she came out August '23 and The Marvels once was slated to come out in. July '23 before being moved to November. Cassie Lang also came out around Quantimania. Before that, it was Eternals in 2021.
Same goes for people thinking there will be another Daredevil-related character in March, I wouldn't hold my breath. Out of EVERY single MCU show so far, only Falcon came out when his show came out.
what on earth are you talking about??
We had Mysterio and Stealth Suit Spider Man (designed specifically for the movie) for Far From Home. Valkyrie and Gorr (both with their movie design) for Love and Thunder. Shuri and (movie) Attuma for Wakanda Forever. (Movie) Adam Warlock for Gotg3 and (Movie) Negasonic Teenage Warhead for Deadpool and Wolverine.
All of the champions I've mentioned above were all released with the month that the movie came out except for NTW (as DP&W was intended to come out in May originally).

And I never expect anything from the shows.
