Marvel Snap is rolling out a new PvP “battle mode” that lets players compete against their friends
Marvel Snap, the popular online collectible card battle game, has been a phenomenon since its launch in October last year. Fans of the game, which lets you battle your card game featuring popular Marvel heroes and villains against other players, have been clamoring for a PvP mode where they can battle their friends, and now the long-awaited feature is here. the. Second Dinner developers announced the new Battle Mode in a tweet from the official Marvel Snap page, noting that the PvP mode will be available in-game starting Tuesday, January 31. Battle Mode will allow users to engage in private card battles with their friends in Marvel Snap.
“It happens…”, the official page of Marvel Snap tweeted. “Get ready for Battle mode where you can challenge your friends and see who really is the best!” The tweet announced that Battle Mode will go live on January 31.
In news posted on its official website earlier this month, Marvel Snap showed off Battle Mode 1.0 ahead of its release. According to the post, Battle Mode will pit two players against each other over multiple rounds. “Each player starts with 10 health. Instead of cubes, what’s at stake is how much damage the winner will deal to the loser. If you can deplete your opponent’s health to zero, you win” , explains the blog post.
Additionally, in battle mode, both players’ decks are locked for the duration of the battle, so a player can memorize the cards in their competitor’s deck. “Keeping track of cards in your deck that your opponent hasn’t seen can make all the difference in whether you can get an extra SNAP,” the post reads.
Along with adding Battle Mode to the game, the new Marvel Snap update also rebalances some overperforming maps, according to Glenn Jones, Senior Game Designer at Second Dinner. The patch, however, does not address Surfer and Zabu maps, which began to outperform after changes were locked for the update, he tweeted.
The new patch includes balance changes, but not for Surfer or Zabu. They started to outperform after we locked down the changes a few weeks ago. Fortunately, we now have the ability to adjust the balance without a new patch, and we expect to adjust these maps in about a week.
