Discord messages from theMarvel Snapdevelopment team have confirmed various details regarding plans for Pool 4 and Pool 5 card releases and the upcoming addition of Collector Tokens.Marvel Snapchief development officer Ben Brode has been transparent and communicative regarding many design decisions and plans for the card game. As players delve deeper intoMarvel Snap’s end game, Brode has talked candidly regarding upcoming changes and content plans.One of the biggest focuses for bothMarvel Snapdeveloper Second Dinner and players is the addition of Collector Tokens. Collector Tokens are a currency that will allow players to purchase specific cards, rather than relying entirely on the randomness of theCollector’s Caches and Reserves inMarvel Snap. One controversial sticking point has been whether players will be rewarded for their previous progression since they’ll have missed out on earning Tokens. Second Dinner has said no, but it may have changed its mind.RELATED:Marvel Snap Fan Calculates How Much Real Money It Costs to Unlock a CardBrode responded to questions on Twitter regarding the rollout of Tokens and whether current players will be rewarded for the progress they’ve earned so far. A comment saying there weren’t plans to reward current players is, according toBen Brode, “old” and there’s a “new plan.” Specific details will be shared in the weeks to come. Further, the plan remains to release Collector Tokens “very soon,” which perhaps means they’ll arrive at the end of the current season – or sooner.
Regarding the addition of new cards,Second Dinnerhas a variety of plans. One Discord post explains that new cards will be introduced alongside the introduction of Collector Tokens. A rate of one card per week is Second Dinner’s “aim,” with chances to earn pool 4 and pool 5 cards added toMarvel Snap’s collection track. It isn’t clarified whether these cards will drop alongside and at the same rate as pool 3 cards, but that seems to be the insinuation.
CurrentMarvel Snapplayers should be aware that rewards earned right now will not have a chance to drop future cards orCollector Tokens. Second Dinner says that stocked-up Caches or Reserves won’t award new content, or at least that’s the studio’s current view. Players may want to open their rewards and start saving up Credits instead.
The Discord messages from Second Dinner detail a number of other interesting plans. For example, Second Dinner is considering variants for Squirrels and Rocks, Unranked Mode is still in development, the store will be better personalized down the line, and bigger ideas like a match history, custom backgrounds, and more are possibilities. Suffice it to say,Marvel Snap’s development is just getting started. Second Dinner has a lot of ambition.
