Today, on MARVEL’s stage at New York Comic Con, Game studio Kabam celebrated 10 Years of their award-winning mobile fighter MARVEL Contest Champions with a wave of brand new playable content, gameplay updates, rewards, giveaways, and an all-new original Marvel character!
Kabam unveiled an all-new original Marvel Champion Isophyne! Isophyne is a living isosphere; A powerful, artificial life-form created to protect the Battlerealm from invaders. Isophyne’s qualities, characteristics, and abilities are distinctly tied to the Battlerealm and the history of The Contest. Isophyne will be launching in-game this December, and will be voiced by actress Erika Ishii in MCoC’s 10th anniversary trailer! Isophyne joins the legacy of Kabam original Champions including Chee’ilth, Aegon, Morningstar, Guillotine 2099, and Purgatory.
The more Champions the merrier! Kabam also revealed two new Champions arriving to The Contest this year with X-Men Spiral and Dazzler!
- Spiral can summon spectral swords that are used for attack and defense, as they both protect her and can be fired off as a projectile. They’re great for interrupting the opponent’s Heavy Attack and Dash, or even chaining them at the end of your own Combo to start a new one. She’s the first Champion in MCoC to make use of this kind of projectile effect. Players will have the opportunity to obtain Spiral in November.
- Dazzler is all about making the most out of music. Players can literally keep to the beat in their fights–Tapping in rhythm with her hits amps up the Tempo of the fight, supercharging the damage of her light blasts. As the Tempo mounts she can also slide in on her roller skates in a high-damage Dazzling Dash Attack. Players will have the opportunity to obtain Dazzler in December.
In another milestone moment for Kabam, the studio is introducing 60FPS to the entire community in November! The updated frame rate will feature improved and smoother animations for enhanced, action-packed gameplay. Fans stopping by the Marvel booth (#2153) at New York Comic Con will be able to check out a hands-on demo of Marvel Contest of Champions and experience early gameplay of Spiral and Dazzler in 60 glorious frames per second.
To celebrate the upcoming release of Venom: The Last Dance, MCoC will host a series of Venom-related content, in addition to its players receiving a new and improved Venom! Players who login for 7-days total from October 21st to November 15th will be able to receive in-game rewards including Champions Venom [Reskinned] and Anti-Venom.

Also, earlier this month, Kabam shared some sweet treats for its players in their October update, including the introduction of new Champions Scream, daughter of Venom, and Master Assassin Jack O’ Lantern! Scream arrives in-game on October 17 and Jack O’ Lantern on October 31.
