Yo, Marvel heard that you liked Marvel, so it put its Marvel Rivals heroes into Marvel Snap. Isn't that just Marvelous?

The December 2024 Marvel Snap season is inspired by the six-vs-six team-based shooter which is set to drop later this week. This includes the season pass card Galacta, Daughter of Galactus, who is basically the mascot and announcer for Marvel Rivals.

Galacta is a four cost, six power card with the text "each turn, the first card you play at another location reveals with plus-three power." The deck crafting ideas are already spinning, including pairing her with cards like Zabu, Black Panther, Wong, and more. But Galacta is just the beginning, with six other new cards joining Marvel Snap this month.

All of this season's new cards, save for one, are inspired by characters in Marvel Rivals, the team-based shooter which releases this Thursday. Cards like Galacta, Luna Snow, and Peni Parker are new to the game completely, while other cards like Doom 2099, Bruce Banner, and Rocket Raccoon & Groot are spins on existing cards. But these cards are totally new ability-wise.

Several of the cards introduce new support cards, such as Luna Snow's Ice Cube (not the rapper) or Peni Parker's SP//dr. If you've played Rivals or are well-versed in Marvel's multiverse, you may already know these characters and what they do. But they're likely a new look for many.

The final card, Lasher, is a reward for playing the fast-paced High Voltage mode, which only lasts three turns and buffs each player's energy totals with random amounts each turn. The event is set to last just five days, so players looking to acquire it will need to grind over the holiday season.
