Captain America Brave New World is currently smashing box-office records, and soon the new Cap and Falcon will be smashing faces in Marvel Contest of Champions. Captain America (Sam Wilson) and the Red Hulk are currently available for free in the mobile fighting game. They'll be free through March 30. Falcon (Joaquin Torres) joins the game February 27.
In addition to the new Captain America universe champions, a special login calendar running through March 30 will offer up gifts including champions, daily bonuses, and profile pics related to Brave New World.
The Til Deathless Do Us Part side quest runs through March 5 and will see Captain America and Falcon front and center. It's a great time to be a fan of the Marvel universe and all its heroes and villains right now.
Contest of Champions is a free-to-play fighter based on the Marvel storyline of the same name from back in the 1980s. Yes, I am old enough to remember that bad boy. The player is tasked with collecting Marvel characters to battle in the usual elaborate, destructive fistfights we love so much.
Champions fall into one of six classes and just like Pokemon, different classes have advantages and disadvantages against each other to keep things interesting. There are more than 250 champions to collect, so this one will keep you busy for a while.
As a comic fan of a certain age, I've seen every incarnation of Sam Wilson, from his unfortunate stint as a pimp and a drug dealer to finally accepting the mantle of Captain America. I'm about to celebrate Black History Month by downloading Contest of Champions and laying the smackdown with Cap.
