MARVEL Realm of Champions is a new real-time action role-playing game that pits players in an all-out war for super hero supremacy. In the game, which is somewhat of a spiritual sequel to MARVEL Contest of Champions, players align with and fight for a "House" (aka a faction) that is inspired by one of Marvel's heroes. With no release date announced yet for MARVEL Realm of Champions, Kabam has been spending this time highlighting the various houses players will be able to join.
The latest to be highlighted is House of Iron which, if you couldn't guess, is inspired by Iron Man/Tony Stark. In the video, Stark Prime, the digital representation of Tony Stark, tries to sell players on the benefits of the House of Iron: tech, toys, and complimentary suits of armor.
When Stark Tower was first forcefully brought to Battleworld by Maestro, it wasn’t as large an upset for Tony Stark as some might assume. Imprisonment and dire stakes are what first made Tony put hammer to metal and forge an Iron Man suit, and from this tragic situation, a new Age of Iron would rise. For a time, while The Battleworld was being forged by war…the House of Iron stood as a shining beacon of hope. Innovation and betterment were the only missions of this safe-haven. Enemies were faced on the battlefield, but many foes were turned to friends when shown the wonders of Stark Tech and the safety of dwelling in the Armored City.
Much time passed, and innovation allowed for surprisingly long life-spans. The aging Tony Stark grew more and more reclusive, often disappearing into Stark Tower or off on “Diplomatic missions” for months, if not years. Following a tragic accident during an Extremis experiment, which nearly levelled an entire territory, Stark Prime (the official AI simulacrum of Tony Stark) announced that automated protocols had been enacted and he would be acting CEO for the foreseeable future. Additionally, all Stark Technology suits’ OS shifted overnight from being J.A.R.V.I.S. assisted to Stark Prime monitored.
There remains a strong belief that all other Houses could be improved with the addition of Stark Technology. However, that technology comes with the price of Stark Prime as an ever-present failsafe. Sadly, not everyone has been open to the idea of a Stark on their shoulder. There is always hope that with time they will see the advantages of a world united under the banner of the House of Iron.
House of Iron is the third faction to be revealed for MARVEL Realm of Champions, following the Temple Of Vishanti from last week. MARVEL Realm of Champions will be released for iOS and Android, but no launch date has been announced yet.
