Fans of Marvel and mobile games will be excited to learn what's coming this month for Marvel Contest of Champions. Not only is there a hefty list of bug fixes which are certain to make gamers happy, but there is also a preview of two new characters being introduced to the title.
The first character being added to the game is Sorcerer Supreme. While the title likely brings the image of Doctor Strange to most fans' minds, this Sorcerer Supreme is a completely different character -- though they do have similar fighting mechanics, so fans of the good doctor may be interested in this warrior.
Next up is Pyramid X Storm, who is also known as the Fourth Horseman. She wields incredible weather powers, but no one is aware of where she came from. Not the mutant you're familiar with, Pyramid X Storm serves her God, Apocalypse, and is a force to be reckoned with.
You can also check out the full list of v26.1 bug fixes below!
- Fixed an issue where the Opponent would respond slower than usual to the end of a combo by Ghost Rider, Ronin, Winter Soldier, Human Torch, Symbiote Supreme, Guillotine, and Star-Lord. This should make Parry timing more consistent for these Champions with other Champions in-game.

- ANNIHILUS – All hits of Special 2 attacks are correctly acting as Energy Projectiles.

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!
Marvel Contest of Champions will add Pyramid X Storm and Sorcerer Supreme later this month.
