MARVEL Realm of Champions had an update hit earlier today, and aside from bug and balance fixes, it's quite the update. Update 4.0 includes the new Trial of the Worthy Story Event, World Quests, Alliance Events, Weapons, Gear Sets and more!
Probably the two most interesting items in the update are the Trial of the Worthy Story Event and the new Transmog feature.
Trial of the Worthy is an episodic story told over 4 weeks. Each week a different group of Champions will be challenged to reignite the frozen Eternal Flame of Asgard. It is a time event that will task players with taking out eneemies to earn flame stacks. Once they have accumulated 10 stacks, the group is deemed "Worthy" to attack the flame.
The new Transmog feature allows players to change the appearance of their gear itemsinto new ones without losing stats or synergies that have been accrued. This will allow players to explore all of the possible combinations of different looks for each Champion, and allows them to preview everything via the Transmog menu screens. It also introduces a new customization currency called Essence. Essence will be required to change the appearance of your gear items, once the desired appearance has been unlocked.
Blueprints will also be available through Daily Objectives, Summoner's Journey, Pinnacle quests and the store. The Blueprints will allow you to fill in the missing amounts needed to permanently unlock an appearance.
You can find many of the details below in the new MARVEL Realm of Champions video that landed today. You can also check out the full release notes for Update 4.0 by clicking here.
