Summoners! Version 26.1 of Marvel Contest of Champions arrives on April 1st! Get ready for some visitors from another planet!
A Whole New World!
Carina has found a nexus of power within the Battlerealm that is rich with Astral and ISO energy. With this newly found resource, she hopes to restore Doctor Strange’s astral form back into his body, allowing him to come back to help the Contest once again.
Though there is a problem unforeseen by those that use it: This nexus is a powerful fountain of energy, and while it may help those that use it, it can also be used to empower dangerous forces within the Battlerealm. Because of this, there are many eyes set upon it, some of whom have never seen before. Mumblings of another Sorcerer Supreme materializing into the Battlerealm has many heroes shaken, raising brows and concerning many. And following her, a worshipper referring to herself as the envoy of “En Sabah Nur” has created a storm that stirs many where they stand.
What they are doing inside the Battlerealm is a question on everyone’s minds. However there is a bigger question that concerns Carina, and Doctor Strange… are they friend, or foe? Find out in this month’s Event Quest, From Beyond! Visitors from a faraway place join the Contest!
Sorcerer Supreme, a new and mysterious comer to the Battlerealm. While her intentions, and her allegiances, are a mystery, her strength in the mystic arts makes her a force to be reckoned with. With a strong command of the Astral energies, she is able to disarm her foes with relaxed ease, stripping away their powers before she powers herself up to take the fight to her foes. It’d be wise to not underestimate the powers of the Mystic Arts.
Storm (Pyramid X), also known as the Fourth Horseman, is the second mysterious force to charge into the Battlerealm. An indomitable force with the power of the weather at her fingertips, she delivers shock and awe with a force that has never been seen before. Whom she serves, with her weather bending powers, is beyond imagination. It is a mystery held by the other world she hails from. Do not dare attempt to challenge Pyramid X.
Fight for Your Side! These two new Champions demand that you fight for their side! It’s up to you to choose who you will side with. The Champions of The Contest have already begun to find their choices. With Champions loyal to Iron Man, Spider-Gwen, and Civil Warrior fighting alongside the Sorcerer Supreme. Meanwhile, many who follow Thor, Black Panther, and Hulk find their allegiance in line with Storm (Pyramid X).
This month-long event consists of four quests, with one quest released each week. Depending on which side you choose, your quests and rewards will differ. Siding with Sorcerer Supreme will reward you with Rank-Up Materials while joining Storm (Pyramid X) will reward you with Crystal Shards.
Choose wisely. Will you side with the Followers of the Ancient One, or the Worshippers of the Apocalypse? Know your enemy, Summoner. Your rewards will depend on your skill in battle!
Double Cross On April 15th, the first 2 quests for each side will permanently lock. This is your chance to turn your back on your team and pledge allegiance to the opposing team to gather the resources promised by the other team. Of course, you can choose to remain loyal and earn even more of the resources you’ve already earned if you wish!
Faction Specific Solo Objectives Prove your might to your new Brothers and Sisters in Arms by completing Solo Objectives for your Faction! If you choose to change Factions on April 15th, your Objectives will change as well.
Enter Ultron’s Domain!
Later this month, you and a friend will have your chance to try out our newest game mode, Incursions! Enter a digitized version of the Battlerealm in Ultron’s Domain! Empower your Champions with Buffs and new abilities in this co-op mode that puts the ability to break the game in your hands!

Version 27.0 is coming at you on April 29th! Here's what's new:
The Red Room Academy Requests your Assistance
In the wake of the Cabal’s collapse, Black Widow has been tasked with locating and recovering a lost mind control weapon. To accomplish her mission Agent Romanoff will need the help of an old friend. Red Guardian is a fellow former soviet and an honorable and trustworthy ally.
However, they soon discover that they are not the only ones chasing the lost Cabal technology. A secretive mastermind has employed the skills of Taskmaster, the photo-reflexive mercenary, to stop Black Widow from finding this weapon at all costs!
It’s a race across The Battlerealm, with new foes to fight and where old allegiances will be tested in this month’s Event Quest: Black Widow: Red By Dawn!
From out of the shadows, two new Champions step into the Contest!
Black Widow, A.K.A. Natasha Romanoff, is one of the world's greatest assassins and most accomplished Shield Agents. A former KGB Agent and graduate of the infamous Red Room program, Black Widow brings her shocking new style of combat to the contest. Use her abilities to deal out big damage when you punish an opponent’s mistakes!
Red Guardian, A.K.A. Alexei Shostakov, was an ace fighter pilot and superb soldier whose accolades made him the perfect choice for Russia’s own super-soldier program. Armed with his specialized combat shield, Red Guardian finds more use for it inflicting trauma on his opponents than shielding his own body.
You are being contacted on behalf of the Red Room Academy
Summoners, your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to defeat certain targets and recover valuable Intel stolen by our enemies.
Each day, you will be assigned a Target in a Special Objective that is in possession of a special Keycard. Information is limited, so we will give you as much information as we can, but it will be up to you to discover the identity of the Target.
After you have defeated the Target, you can use the Keycard to enter a Red Room Quest, where you will gather the important Intel that has been stolen from us.
In exchange for this important Intel, we will offer you the chance to purchase technology that will allow you to access special Red Rift Quests, or a Dimensional Chronometer, which for the first time ever, will allow you to choose your own reward in a Rift once throughout the entire month.
Should any member of your team be caught, the Red Room Academy will disavow all knowledge of your actions. Good luck Summoner.

TWO CHAMPIONS RISE TO UNITE MUTANT-KIND
Professor X believed in the peaceful coexistence of mutants and humans, but this all changed when Moira MacTaggert revealed to him the inevitable demise of mutantkind, unless Professor X could change his ways. Under the new moniker “X”, he gave up his old dreams. No more would mutants endure the afflictions and prejudice of humankind. Under the formidable rule of X, the mutant nation of Krakoa was founded. And those who defy the nation must enter the Mindscape and face Professor X in a duel of mental strength.
Thousands of years ago in ancient Aqaba, the first living being on Earth to express the mutant X-gene was born, given the name “En Sabah Nur” or “The First One”.

After conquesting the Earth for many millennia Apocalypse used Celestial technology to enter a period of suspended animation for many centuries, awakening in the current age and deciding the Earth is ready for further examination.

Several time anomalies have been detected on the far reaches of The Battlerealm. As concerning as numerous temporal activities in one region is, it does not appear to affect the mysterious characters running amok in the nearby area.
Reports state that “The Rider” has been sighted in the region after tracking down a seemingly abandoned warehouse filled with countless Crystals. As great of a find as this is, caution is urged, as there is very likely a sinister reason why the Crystals were abandoned in the first place…
Hop in and get ready for a turbulent ride through The Contest as Cosmic Ghost Rider and Red Goblin fight for, about & through time itself in this month’s Event Quest; Recursion!
THE SPIRIT OF VENGEANCE MEETS THE EMBODIMENT OF CARNAGE!
During Earth’s last stand against Thanos, Frank Castle (The Punisher), was struck and killed. A lifetime of killing saw his soul sent to Hell, and a deal struck with Mephisto led him to become the latest Ghost Rider. But by the time he returned to Earth, everything was dead, and Thanos was gone. After endless years alone, Ghost Rider was found by Galactus, who agreed to make him his Herald in exchange for being allowed to devour Earth. And so he became the Cosmic Ghost Rider and a Herald of Galactus.
In a desperate move to regain his lost connection to the Green Goblin persona, Norman Osborn bonded with the Carnage Symbiote. The result was Red Goblin, a demonic creature with a limitless thirst for death and unmatched hatred for Peter Parker. How will the Contest contain his bloodlust? It’s almost time to find out!
Check out these 2 Champions Spotlights next week!
HADES INVASIONS
Hell is in an uproar and Mephisto needs the Summoner and Cosmic Ghost Rider to sort it out and bring order back to the underworld. However, the land of the dead is a dangerous place for the living, filled with hazards few Champions can contend with.
Delve into Limbo Quests to gather Lost Souls, then trade them to Mephisto to purchase Soul Boosts to shield yourself and your Champions from the harmful effects of the netherworld, but beware Summoner! Mephisto is up to his old tricks, and while these Boosts will buff your Champions, they will also give your Opponent a buff as well!
After you’ve collected your Lost Souls and Soul Boosts, you can enter Hades Invasions to fight for rewards!
PUNISHING ARENA
A Special Arena, with a twist! Use all of your Champions to earn more Lost Souls, and Monsters and Hunters Crystal shards! These Shards can be exchanged for Monsters and Hunters crystals, which, like the name says, contain monsters and those that hunt them!

A Whole New World!
Carina has found a nexus of power within the Battlerealm that is rich with Astral and ISO energy. With this newly found resource, she hopes to restore Doctor Strange’s astral form back into his body, allowing him to come back to help the Contest once again.Though there is a problem unforeseen by those that use it: This nexus is a powerful fountain of energy, and while it may help those that use it, it can also be used to empower dangerous forces within the Battlerealm. Because of this, there are many eyes set upon it, some of whom have never seen before. Mumblings of another Sorcerer Supreme materializing into the Battlerealm has many heroes shaken, raising brows and concerning many. And following her, a worshipper referring to herself as the envoy of “En Sabah Nur” has created a storm that stirs many where they stand.
What they are doing inside the Battlerealm is a question on everyone’s minds. However there is a bigger question that concerns Carina, and Doctor Strange… are they friend, or foe? Find out in this month’s Event Quest, From Beyond!
Visitors from a faraway place join the Contest!
Sorcerer Supreme, a new and mysterious comer to the Battlerealm. While her intentions, and her allegiances, are a mystery, her strength in the mystic arts makes her a force to be reckoned with. With a strong command of the Astral energies, she is able to disarm her foes with relaxed ease, stripping away their powers before she powers herself up to take the fight to her foes. It’d be wise to not underestimate the powers of the Mystic Arts.
Check out Sorcerer Supreme’s Spotlight!
Storm (Pyramid X), also known as the Fourth Horseman, is the second mysterious force to charge into the Battlerealm. An indomitable force with the power of the weather at her fingertips, she delivers shock and awe with a force that has never been seen before. Whom she serves, with her weather bending powers, is beyond imagination. It is a mystery held by the other world she hails from. Do not dare attempt to challenge Pyramid X.
Check out Storm (Pyramid X)’s Spotlight!
Special Quests and Events

The Champions of The Contest have already begun to find their choices. With Champions loyal to Iron Man, Spider-Gwen, and Civil Warrior fighting alongside the Sorcerer Supreme. Meanwhile, many who follow Thor, Black Panther, and Hulk find their allegiance in line with Storm (Pyramid X).
This month-long event consists of four quests, with one quest released each week. Depending on which side you choose, your quests and rewards will differ. Siding with Sorcerer Supreme will reward you with Rank-Up Materials while joining Storm (Pyramid X) will reward you with Crystal Shards.
