Marvel Snap will take you back to your high school days as the latest New X-Men season goes live

  • The May season is themed around the New X-Men
  • Esme Cuckoo is the newest character to join the squad
  • Pit of Exile and Genosha are the new locations

In Marvel Snap‘s latest update, Xavier’s Institute is once more filled with excitement as Snap Packs have been incorporated. This time around, it’s the New X-Men who are stirring things up in the matches. The card battler’s May season offers a fresh class of promising talents, such as Esme Cuckoo, Surge, and strategic thinkers like Prodigy, all poised to disrupt the game’s meta (metagame).

For this month in Marvel Snap’s season pass, a new group of recruits is introduced, led by Esme Cuckoo – a telepathic clone of Emma Frost who disregards rules and acts impulsively. Upon her reveal, she takes a card from your deck, increases its cost to three with four Power, and gives it to you as if it were a charged psychic weapon.

However, she’s merely the beginning. Every week introduces a fresh Series 5 mutant into the card pool, each introducing an intriguing twist to your gameplay encounters. In no time, you’ll find yourself managing cost adjustments, mimicry strategies, and revival maneuvers. By the end of the month, characters like Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn will join the fray. Additionally, Captain Carter’s seasonal pack comes back into circulation if you didn’t catch it earlier.

This month’s new locations offer just as much excitement. The Pit of Exile thwarts major strategies at their inception, encouraging more streamlined constructions and strategic planning. On the other hand, Genosha is primed for high-stakes confrontations by eliminating all but your costliest cards at the last moment. Both spots are poised to significantly alter your conventional decks’ dynamics.
