‘Marvel Contest of Champions’ Goes To Murderworld In New Update
by Gary Catig
Last month, Marvel Contest of Champions received Mercs for Money related content. In the next update, the mobile fighting game is headed to Murderworld with new champions Arcade and Northstar. Read the in-game story below.
“Responding to an Alpha Flight distress call, Northstar arrives in New Manhattan only to discover that he is a Player in the deadly games of Arcade. To defeat this challenge they’ll need The Summoner as their Player 2 while they try to button-mash through the lethal levels of this treacherous trap-master! See if you’re leveling up or checking out in All Fun and Games!”
Now you can add to your Champions roster with Arcade and Northstar. The former is currently available to collect while the latter can be obtained later this month on June 27. Both have a nice arsenal of attacks to use. Want to learn more about each? Check out their bios.
“Jean-Paul Beaubier, known as Northstar, is a prominent member of the Canadian superhero team Alpha Flight alongside his twin sister Aurora. A former gold medalist Olympic skier, he possesses hypersonic speed, flight, and photonic energy blasts, making him a swift force in battle. He is a vital ally to the X-Men and respected instructor at the Xavier Institute. Jean-Paul oversees “Team Northstar Extreme Sports” along with his husband Kyle, having settled in the mutant sanctuary of Krakoa with their daughter Joanne.”
“A notorious hitman with a penchant for the dramatic, Arcade quickly gained infamy in the shadiest of circles by refusing to eliminate his targets by conventional means. True to his showman roots, he prefers to construct elaborate “Murderworlds” to trap his contestants within and finish them off with his own brand of chaos. Over the years, he has been repeatedly employed to eliminate the X-Men who always find a way to escape his schemes. This has caused his reputation to lose footing with other villains, but now Arcade arrives in the Battlerealm with something to prove with his deadly Murderworld technology.”
Also in the new update are bug fixes, balance updates, Saga 2: Arcade Games, All Fun and Games challenge, and more.
