Marvel Mystic Mayhem Update Adds Fantastic Four Heroes & Battle Pass

A few new heroes have arrived in Marvel Mystic Mayhem since launch, but usually one at a time. However, as the release date for The Fantastic Four: First Steps approaches, the newest Marvel game is leaning into the hype. The game will get a substantial update on July 17th, including some maintenance downtime. When the app returns, players will get some free rewards as compensation, along with the chance to enjoy new Fantastic Four-themed content.

Today, NetEase shared the patch notes for the next Marvel Mystic Mayhem update in the game’s official Discord server. The game will be unavailable during the maintenance period of 7 AM EDT to 10 AM EDT on July 17th. Marvel Mystic Mayhem should return with the update ready to go at around 10 AM EDT on July 17th. When it does, players can expect 200 Dreamgems and 100K Mysterium Coins waiting in their in-game inboxes. While the compensation gift is nice, it’s just the beginning for this major update.

This patch for Marvel Mystic Mayhem will bring in a ton of new Fantastic Four content as part of a themed Starry Odyssey event. Invisible Woman and Human Torch will be available in the Dreamweaver right away, with Mister Fantastic and The Thing set to release the following week. A new Fantastic Four-themed story, The Journey Begins, will also be available, along with a Circuit Challenge and Boss Challenge centered on Marvel’s first family. Players will also be able to work their way through a new Fantastic Four Battle Pass to get rewards, including those highly coveted Shadow Keys to pull new heroes.

Along with the new content, the July 17th Marvel Mystic Mayhem update will include bug fixes and optimizations. These include new push notification settings for completed exploration and Orb Power, new Achievements, and new visual effects. Missing voice lines and model clipping issues will also be resolved. In all, this update should give a fresh coat of paint to the game.
