New X-Men Season in Marvel Snap Revives High School Memories

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are buzzing once again in Marvel Snap, with the New X-Men theme dominating the May season. This exciting update introduces a fresh lineup of characters, including the newest addition, Esme Cuckoo, who joins the squad with her unique abilities. Alongside her, new locations like Pit of Exile and Genosha are set to change the dynamics of your matches.

Marvel Snap's May season is all about the rising stars of the New X-Men, featuring ambitious characters like Esme Cuckoo, electrifying Surge, and strategic minds such as Prodigy. These new additions are poised to shake up the game's meta, bringing fresh strategies and tactics to the forefront.

The season pass for May introduces Esme Cuckoo, a telepathic clone of Emma Frost known for her disregard for rules. Her On Reveal effect is a game-changer, pulling a card from your deck, adjusting its cost to three with four Power, and handing it to you like a psychic grenade ready to explode.

But Esme is just the beginning. Each week, a new Series 5 mutant will be added to the card pool, each bringing a unique twist to your gameplay. Expect to juggle cost reductions, copycat tactics, and resurrection tricks throughout the month. Upcoming characters include Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn. Additionally, Captain Carter's seasonal pack makes a return for those who missed it previously.

The new locations introduced this month are equally dramatic. Pit of Exile forces players to adopt leaner builds and smarter sequencing by shutting down big power plays early on. On the other hand, Genosha sets the stage for final turn bloodbaths by clearing all but your most expensive card at the last moment. Both locations are designed to flip the script on your usual deck strategies.

Beyond the arenas, Marvel Snap is rolling out three new collection albums this month. The first, launching on May 8th, is a collaboration with Penny Arcade, featuring variants by Mike Krahulik. This is followed by a chibi-themed collection from Rian Gonzales on May 15th, and a disco-themed dance fest on May 30th, showcasing groove-worthy variants of Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler.
