Following the June release of Marvel Universe, the next Vs. System expansion will hit streets in November of this year.
We have been in ongoing discussions with DC Comics to expand our licensing category, and instead of delaying the release of our next set, we’ve decided to deviate from our alternating release schedule. As a result, the upcoming release of Marvel Evolution will mark the first major, back-to-back Marvel launch.
Marvel Evolution will revolve heavily around this past year’s Messiah Complex, the fan-favorite storyline that ran through all the “X” titles. Expect to see the long-awaited debut of X-Factor, X-Force, and Mr. Sinister’s Marauders. Characters from across the dimensional divide are also set to make appearances later this year. Like Marvel Legends, DC Comics Legends, and Marvel Universe, Marvel Evolution will include multiple legendary characters, such as Cyclops, Gambit, Deadpool, and many others—including some teen guest stars!
Marvel Evolution continues in the same vein as recent releases and will contain increased content. Featuring 275 cards in the same rarity distribution as the Legends sets, Marvel Evolution will introduce several new mechanics, including the keywords Shift and Energize, bringing with them new ways to play and use your favorite characters.
