Livescore
Captain America returns to the MCU in theaters this month, and to celebrate, Marvel Snap is entering its own “Brave New World” after an accidental ban from being caught up in TikTok’s debacle last month.
Sam Wilson takes on the mantle of Captain America in Captain America: Brave New World, and Marvel Snap dev Second Dinner has taken on a new publisher and gotten rid of its old one after being taken down alongside TikTok in the country of Wilson’s namesake. Both are being celebrated in the February 2025 season of the card battling game.
It’s all about “out with the old and in with the new” this season in Marvel Snap, and here’s what’s included.
Marvel Snap: Brave New World season patch notes
Character Mastery
A new, long-awaited feature called Character Mastery is set to launch on Feb. 11. A new rewards track awaits to give players unique cosmetics for each particular hero and villain in the game. This includes new card finishes, new borders, new card flairs, and a lot more. The more you have played and split a character’s card, the more XP you will earn, and reaching level 30 unlocks an emote reaction set and gold diamond flair for any variant of that character.
New game mode: Sanctum Showdown
The new limited-time mode features a scoring system where players earn points for each location they are winning. One of the three locations each turn will be the Sanctum, where you can earn four points for that turn, compared to the other two which only reward one point. Snapping will add a fifth point to the Sanctum, and the first player to rack up 16 points wins.
The LTM will feature its own challenges and currency to earn that can be spent in the shop to buy new emotes, cosmetics, and even three new cards: Uncle Ben, Gorgon, and Laufey.
Speaking of new cards, this season is adding a whopping nine new ones to play with.
