When players logged into
Marvel Contest of Champions today, the first thing they saw was the updated loading screen which features none other that Mojo - the Mogul of Interdimensional Media himself,. After that, the next loading screen to pop up is emboldened with an image of Longshot, the master showman.
Since these two Marvel characters are receiving the spotlight, it isn't hard for gamers to realize that they will be joining the game during the month of February. In order to announce their arrival, Kabam has released a motion comic titled
X-Communication starring none other than Mojo himself. While the premise behind
Marvel Contest of Champions is that the Collector and Kang are battling with heroes, Mojo claims that there is more afoot than what it seems.
In addition to these characters coming to the game soon,
Marvel Contest of Champions also received an update on Monday which saw bugs fixed, champions balanced, and other improvements implemented into the latest patch. We've included the release notes for you and they are as follows.
