Goodbye 2022, Hello 2023!
It’s hard to believe that we launched MARVEL SNAP globally just a little under two months ago! And since then, thanks to YOU, we’ve won multiple awards, including Best Mobile Game at the Game Awards, and released a fun animated cinematic ‘HERO’ with some of our favorite musicians.
We’ve always said that Global Launch is the beginning of our journey together, and we weren’t kidding. Your feedback (in places like our discord community) impacts what we prioritize, focus on, or change. We’re excited about what the future holds; let’s talk a bit about that future.
Let’s jump in, shall we?
Coming Soon
Items listed here are in the final phase of development, and these features are almost ready to release to players! We’re cleaning up, polishing art, and squashing bugs. Our Quality Assurance teams scrape over all the little details to ensure we have as smooth an experience for players as possible. Once features are “Coming Soon,” we can start to plan release dates, timelines and share some insight with players.
The team is hard at work putting the finishing touches on a few much-anticipated features:
- Battle Mode vs Friends
- Name Change
- Artist Credits
- Russian and Vietnamese Language Support
- Infinity Split Mod Details
What’s Battle Mode vs Friends?
Battle Mode is a new way to play MARVEL SNAP. In Battle Mode, each player starts with 10 health, and the winning player deals damage to their opponent equal to the stakes of the game. If you doubled down and SNAPPED, you’ll do 4 damage to your opponent instead of 2 – or retreat early and only lose 1 health! Players will play a series of games against each other with their same deck until one player has no health left.
The way it works is simple. You either CREATE a match or JOIN a match. The player that creates a match gets a code they’ll need to share with their friend.
We’re aiming to release this in the next month or two and hope you’re as excited as we are to play vs your friends or organize fun community competitions!
What’s Name Change?
You’ll finally be able to correct that poor decision you made when choosing a username. Looking at you PineappleOnPizzaStinks. I mean, really? Who HATES Pineapple on Pizza??? Not I, that’s for sure.
What are Artist Credits and Infinity Split Mod Details?
When you’re looking at a card in its detailed view, you’ll be able to tap the nameplate at the top to see Artist Credits and what Infinity Split Mods are on that card.
Russian and Vietnamese Language Support
We’re adding these two languages to the list you can select.
In Development
Game features in this section are actively being developed, iterated, and improved upon. Our production team dedicates team resources, generates tasks/timelines, and ensures we’re moving forward. Features and systems in this bucket can change dramatically – we might find our initial idea wasn’t fun OR we might discover we can achieve our goals in an unexpected way!
In Development
- PC Widescreen UI
- Smart Decks
- Unranked Mode
- New Competitive Modes
What are Smart Decks?
Creating a new deck can be so much fun. Sometimes you might know precisely what 12 cards you want to play; other times, a few cards work together, but you’re unsure what to add. That’s where smart decks come in. Maybe you’re unsure how to finish that ‘move deck’ you’ve wanted to play. No problem. You’ll be able to finish your new deck with the tap of a button. More details to come as we get closer to releasing this feature.
What’s Unranked Mode?
In Unranked Mode, players face off against other players without the risk of losing Ranks or Cubes while still making progress on their Missions. This is the perfect place to test new decks and strategies.
What’s Competitive Mode?
We’re looking to use Battle Mode in fun new ways. More details will come in the future as we make progress on this.
In Concept
We have BIG dreams about what we’d like to bring to the future of MARVEL SNAP! The first step towards these dreams is turning ideas into concepts through discussion, documentation, and planning. Features currently in the “In Concept” phase have been initially scoped out and given shape but have not yet had any engineering or development work done in the game itself.
This is where we’d love your feedback the most! Concepts listed in this section may be elevated in priority, rescoped, or scrapped entirely… or we might hear something completely new from the community!
Here are some of the future concepts we’re thinking about for MARVEL SNAP:
- Guilds (Social Systems)
- Infinity Rank Leaderboard
- Collectible Emotes & Card Emojis
- Mythic Variants
- Booster Magnets
- Avatars & Titles by Deck
- PC Controller Support
- Season Cache Improvements
- In-Game Events
Let us know what you think, and please continue to share your ideas for the future of MARVEL SNAP! Thank you again for your feedback and for making 2022 truly Legendary!
