EXCLUSIVE: Marvel Heroes 2016 Celebrates Daredevil Season 2 With Updates and Specials

Daredevil season 2 hits Netflix on Friday, March 18, but when you're not watching (or done with round one of your binge, let's be real), Marvel Heroes has plenty of new and updated Daredevil material for you.

Gazillion has been steadily bringing the Marvel Heroes 2016 visual updates to the game, upgrading individual characters as the year progresses, and this week it's Daredevil's turn. The character's new look features much more definition in his muscles, but also slims him down a bit to better reflect the lithe and acrobatic style he's known for in comics - and on TV.

The new season of the show gets bonuses as well for the weekend and beyond. New TV-inspired costumes for both Daredevil and Punisher will debut this weekend, and if you pre-order Elektra, the 57th playable character, between now and March 31, you'll get both her default costume from the comics and her TV costume. Daredevil, Punisher, and all their costumes are 25% off from March 18-March 25, but if you really want a great deal on Daredevil, log in on Saturday or Sunday - you'll get him for free. Once you start playing with Daredevil, you'll get to try for his two new achievements, including a hidden one that grants you a title, but Gazillion wouldn't even tell us what that was.

In-Game, the Tournaments feature promised for Marvel Heroes 2016 will debut. A Daredevil theme for it at launch will include a leaderboard showing how many Hand Ninjas Daredevil-players defeat each day. A 50% bonus on experience for Daredevil and Punisher sees their fellow once and future Netflix stars Luke Cage and Iron Fist also in on the action. On top of that, 200% bonus XP goes for all characters in the first week of Daredevil season 2 - 100% to celebrate each season. Orders from the Hand will be on supervillains and henchmen for special rewards, too.

Check out the full view of Daredevil's new look below, and get ready for some double-marathoning this weekend.
