MARVEL SNAP: Development Roadmap - Oct 2024
HEYYY! We're back again to share what's in store for the future of MARVEL SNAP. The development team has been busy working on new features, game modes, and awesome new rewards to improve the game.As you might have noticed, we’ve reimagined the Development Roadmap to focus on Coming Soon and In Development to more accurately showcase what MARVEL SNAP players want to know. Originally, we included In Concept because we wanted a way to gather player feedback on ideas we’re thinking about–but, we have better ways to do this now via Discord & In-Game Surveys. If you see our in-game surveys and wonder if your voice matters, it does! Importantly, we also think this change will more accurately deliver on our players' expectations of the roadmap. For this blog, we’ll still share some insights into what’s In Concept - so stay tuned & keep reading!Whether you're excited about new ways to play MARVEL SNAP, mastering your favorite characters, or celebrate our two-year journey, there's something here for everyone. Let’s dive in!
Last roadmap, we talked a bit about how the team has set a goal this year to ensure that MARVEL SNAP is filled with exciting new content and special events every time you log into the game. We’re continuing our commitment to this goal with High Voltage, our newest Limited Time Mode coming to MARVEL SNAP on October 16th.
High Voltage is FAST! Likewedontevenhavetimeforspacesfast! In this mode there’s no snapping, only three electrifying turns, and MORE energy for combos never possible before in MARVEL SNAP. In High Voltage, you’ll start with 2 cards and draw 2 more each round. Each turn, both players get the same amount of randomized energy, encouraging quick thinking and massive plays. To keep the pace intense, some characters and locations are restricted (so, no Magik to drag things out!).And don’t forget, playing High Voltage during the event is the ONLY way to unlock our newest card, Agony, for FREE! Miss out and you’ll need to find Agony in the token shop as a Series 4 card, available on October 31th. [h2]Collector’s Vault[/h2]
We’ve had some incredible art pieces released during the last two years of MARVEL SNAP! We're excited to introduce a new shop feature that will give you the chance to acquire Variants that you may have previously missed. To be eligible for the Vault, Variants must have been bundle exclusives and released at least one year before the Vault's opening. The Collector's Vault is a middle ground where the Variants remain exclusive for an entire year, but also give new or returning players the ability to get them eventually. Once the Collector's Vault appears in your shop, you’ll see six random, unowned, and unique Variants for base cards that you already possess. The Vault opens for the first time from October 24-29th and will come back periodically. Don’t miss it!! [h2]Second Anniversary Celebration![/h2]
Second Dinner takes Second Anniversaries seriously. We love this adventure we’ve been on with our incredible community… October 18th marks TWO YEARS since MARVEL SNAP launched globally, and we’re ready to celebrate with you. Join us for a virtual party with Login Rewards, a Free Community Voted Variant, Twitch Drops, and a Special Bundle. Plus, you’ll be able to play the brand-new High Voltage mode while celebrating. [h2]Deadpool’s Diner 2.0[/h2]
Hope you saved room for dessert… Deadpool’s Diner is coming back, better than ever! New meals, updated rewards, and more. It’s going to be a Happy Bubs-giving this November! 
It’s back! After quick break from the roadmap and some incredible community feedback… Character Mastery is back on the menu! We’re even aiming for Character Mastery to go live before the end of this year! If not…very soon thereafter.Do you love Iron Man? Or maybe have a soft-spot for She-Hulk? The Character Mastery system rewards you for growing your unique collection and favorite characters! Anything you’ve previously done… counts! If you have a favorite card you’ve invested into, you’ve already progressed that character’s Mastery track and have rewards waiting!
Or maybe you’re the Electro Extraordinaire? All of your Electro variants and splits count for XP towards progressing Electro’s Character Mastery Track. As you unlock CM levels, you will earn brand new Finishes, Flares, and Reaction Sets for that character. OH YEA, did we mention… We’re releasing 25+ BRAND NEW Flares and Finishes with Character Mastery!
We prioritized Character Mastery based on YOUR feedback and we love the idea of being able to customize your collection even further. We hope to expand the Character Mastery system in the future, please let us know what you’d like to see. [h2]Super Premium Season Pass[/h2]We've heard you! We're completely reimagining what our Season Pass Super Premium looks like...and replacing it with the ALL-NEW SUPER PREMIUM SEASON PASS! More variants, more rewards, and even a few surprises down the pipeline that will make the biggest deckbuilders smile! [h2]Album Preview & Wishlist[/h2]We’re gonna let the image do the talking here…
[h2]New Limited-Time Mode[/h2]When we said we’re committed to new MARVEL SNAP Limited Time Modes… WE MEAN IT. We're aiming to bring another brand new Limited Time Mode to MARVEL SNAP early next year. The team has been hosting team-wide playtests and we’re making great progress. Can’t wait to share more!

In Concept
We have BIG dreams about what we’d like to bring to the future of MARVEL SNAP! The first step towards these dreams is turning ideas into concepts through discussion, documentation, and planning. Features currently in the “In Concept” phase have been initially scoped out and given shape but have not yet had any engineering or development work done in the game itself.This is where we’d love your feedback the most! Concepts listed in this section may be elevated in priority, rescoped, or scrapped entirely… or we might hear something completely new from the community. [h2]Draft Mode[/h2]As we talked about in the last roadmap, we’re exploring what Draft Mode might look like in MARVEL SNAP. We know there is a passionate audience excited for Draft Mode and curious about our timeline for developing it. So, here's an inside scoop. We believe SNAP Draft should rely on a trio of pillars:- Clear and exciting deckbuilding goals
- Fun gameplay that feels unique from constructed
- Highly replayable
