I don't know if you've heard, but there's a pretty important Marvel Cinematic Universe installment coming soon. Fantastic Four:First Steps is coming July 25, and Marvel Contest of Champions is joining in the celebration of Marvel's First Family. Here's a trailer:

Starting June 4, the Fantastic Four Force Saga research grant collectibles will be spread throughout game modes. Earn enough, and you can trade them in for a 7-Star Mr. Fantastic. Starting June 11, trek through the multiverse with the Vaults of Variant side quest. Reed will be conducting dangerous research in the multiverse. I'm sure nothing will go wrong!

Also coming in June is a quest that will yield more info about the mysterious forces that created The Battlerealm. Kabam, the developer that gave us Contest of Champions, created original characters to flesh out Battlerealm's story. So far, we've met Isophyne, an artificial lifeform, and Lumatrix, an assassin.

During the Fantastic Force saga, players will chase Solvarch, known as the Wolf of the Stars, from June 4-October 8. Solvarch is the ultimate intergalactic soldier, an Eidol who can harness the energy of an entire sun. Thankfully, we just need to collect Shatter Essence to unlock his power.

Shatter Essence is available in Battlegrounds, Saga Incursions, Raids, ranking highly in Hero Arena, Saga Track Double Events, and Weekly Events.

These aren't the only events coming up. Captain Britain has received a rework, including new cosmetics and mechanics. His update comes June 2, and starting with the June 4 Double Track Event, he will be available as a 7-Star Champion.
