What to Expect from Marvel Snap’s January 2024 Season

Highlights

• Marvel Snap’s January 2024 season will be themed after the Planet Hulk storyline, featuring new cards like Skaar, Caiera, and Hercules.
• The new cards in Marvel Snap’s upcoming season support an all-or-nothing play style, rewarding players who use decks with either 1-Cost or 6-Cost cards.
• January 2024 will also mark the return of Series Drops, making rare cards more obtainable for players who may have missed them in previous seasons.

Marvel Snap‘s first season of 2024 kicks off next month, and it looks to include some of the biggest content changes to the game yet. Although Marvel Snap is still in the middle of its December 2023 Hellfire Gala season, some recently announced updates to the game slated for January 2024 should have players excited about the future of Second Dinner’s hit mobile title. For players who can’t wait to see what the game has in store for next season, recent datamines have revealed the season theme, new cards, and other content coming to Marvel Snap in January 2024.

Following on the heels of Marvel Snap‘s Hellfire Gala season for December 2023, the game will bring players a season themed after the Planet Hulk storyline from Marvel Comics. This story follows Hulk’s banishment from Earth where he ends up as a gladiator on the planet of Sakaar and helps liberate the planet from the Red King alongside other characters like Korg and Silver Surfer. Second Dinner has also announced the return of Series Drops for next season along with Marvel Snap‘s usual seasonal releases, so players can expect new cards, variants, locations, and more from this upcoming season.

Marvel Snap’s January 2024 Season Will Be Planet Hulk-Themed

New Cards

The upcoming January 2024 season of Marvel Snap is set to introduce tons of new cards, including the Season Pass card, Skaar, who is the son of Hulk and Caiera, who also joins Marvel Snap this season. Other new cards include Miek, one of Hulk’s fellow gladiators, and Grandmaster, an Elder of the Universe and master of all games. Additionally, some highly requested characters like Hercules and Beta Ray Bill will finally make their appearance in Marvel Snap next season as well.

This season’s cards seem to really support an all-or-nothing play style, rewarding players who utilize decks full of 1-Cost or 6-Cost cards. Caeira’s ability prevents cards of these Costs from being destroyed, and Skaar Costs 2 less for each of the player’s cards with 10 or more Power. A card like Miek might also end up being a great addition to Marvel Snap‘s discard archetype since it gains +1 Power every turn the player discards a card, and Grandmaster can help facilitate this ability by allowing an On Reveal card to move to the middle location and activate its ability again.

Series Drop

In addition to these new cards, Marvel Snap also revealed that the first Series Drop in over six months will finally occur in January 2024. Series Drops were a great way to make certain rarer cards more obtainable by dropping them to a lower series, thus decreasing their cost in the in-game shop, but these drops had not occurred since Marvel Snap added Spotlight Caches as the main way of obtaining new cards. Some of the cards that will see a series drop in January include powerful cards from the past few seasons that some players may still be missing, so this is a great opportunity to finally grab them.
