A new season of Marvel Snap is already upon us, filled with Spider-Man and spider-adjacent friends and foes, including five new cards.
Symbiote Spider-Man is this season’s season pass card, a four/six that will merge with the lowest-cost card at his location and re-trigger its On Reveal. But it also comes with an all-new ability type called Activate.
Cards with Activate must be clicked/tapped and held to activate their ability, and it only works once the card is already revealed on the board. “Several” existing Marvel Snap cards, such as Hell Cow and Black Swan, will be reworked to include the new mechanic.
Other new cards this season are Scarlet Spider (four/five, “Activate: add an exact clone of this to another location”), Madame Web (two/one, “Ongoing: You can move one of your other cards away from here each turn”), Araña (one/one, “Activate: give the next card you play plus-two power and move it to the right”), and Silver Sable (one/one, “On Reveal: steal two power from the top card of your opponent’s deck”).
There are also two new spider-centric locations with Brooklyn Bridge (“You can’t play cards here two turns in a row”), and Otto’s Lab (“The next card you play here pulls a card to the enemy side from their hand”).
As is the case with every Snap season, the season pass will also include new cosmetics like variants for Spider-Man and Miles Morales, along with other cosmetics, including variants and cards in weekly Spotlight Caches. There are even four new albums coming out with some amazing emote rewards for completion.
With everything on offer, this will likely be one of the most anticipated seasons in recent memory, due to Activate’s inclusion and, of course, the popularity of the webhead himself. Marvel Snap‘s The Amazing Spider-Season kicks off this Tuesday, Sept. 3.
