Venom, Mystique, And Ultron Join Marvel Strike Force Roster Alongside Big 2.0 Update

FoxNext's character-collection game based in the Marvel universe received a big 2.0 update today. In addition to several new features and some new objectives to earn rewards, three marquee characters are joining the roster.

Venom headlines the additions as the character's film starring Tom Hardy nears release. Players can earn Venom by completing event campaign missions and new Alpha Strike raids, which come in three difficulties and require players to use the Cosmic, Global, and City heroes on their teams. In addition to Venom, players will also soon be able to recruit Mystique and Ultron. Ultron previously appeared as a CPU-controlled enemy, but this is the first time players will be able to recruit him.

With more characters from the X-Men side of the universe coming into play, a new Mutant origin trait has been added to the game. This allows for characters who possess this trait to play off one another and equip new Mutant gear. Announced characters affected by this new trait include Cable, Deadpool, Wolverine, Storm, and Mystique.

The 2.0 update also includes a new Donation mechanic. Using this, players can donate gold and power cores in exchange for Alliance Credits and Alliance Experience. Alliance Credits are used to purchase newly introduced Stark Tech, which provides permanent buffs to characters who possess specific traits. Your Alliance unlocks more powerful Stark Tech through earning Alliance Experience.

FoxNext also implemented a new user-interface feature that tells you how your team of five synergizes with the other characters in your squad. In addition, the developer announced it's raising the level cap to 70 from 65, bringing Gear tier 13 and level 7 Abilities. Update 2.0 also includes several bug fixes. You can view the full list here.

Running Down The History Of Wolfenstein

Today, first-person shooters are inescapable, with the biggest franchises letting players roam the battlefields of history and imagination to mow down foes, win wars, and emerge as the top contender on scoreboards. The genre hasn’t always been as ubiquitous as its current success suggests, however. While Doom is often remembered as the game that kickstarted the first-person shooter craze, Wolfenstein 3D paved the way for its sci-fi sibling to come screaming into existence. However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent
