Today, Kabam’s award-winning mobile fighter Marvel Contest of Champions debuted all-new content themed after the upcoming Marvel Studios film, “Thor: Love and Thunder.” The Champion Reveal trailer introduces two new Champions, inspired by the film, coming to the popular mobile fighter – Gorr & Valkyrie.


Celebrating the premiere of “Thor: Love and Thunder” on July 8, all new and existing players who download Marvel Contest of Champions and log in can add either Thor (Ragnarok) or Thor (Jane Foster) to their rosters, beginning July 8 through August 2. With over 200 Champions in The Contest, players can also add other legendary MCU-inspired characters to their roster from Thor including Korg, Odin, Hela, Loki, Guardians of the Galaxy crew Star-Lord, Drax, Rocket, Groot, and more!


Here is a quick look at what The Contest has in store this coming month:


CHARACTER BIOS


Gorr the God-Butcher grew up on a harsh world, where belief in the gods kept his people from falling to despair. But after his family perished to the deadly environment, Gorr became disillusioned and swore vengeance against the gods that never came to help him or his people. He later obtained the powerful Necrosword, and gained the ability to control dark magic and shadowy constructs. He uses these powers to wreak havoc, destruction, and death on any and all that would call themselves gods.


Former leader of the mighty Valkyrior, and recently crowned sovereign of New Asgard, Valkyrie has long been a bastion to the Asgardian people against the evils of the Nine Realms. Possessing superior strength (even among Asgardians) and armed with the powerful weapons, training, and tactics of the Valkyrior, she is an excellent leader, and a steadfast warrior. Her conviction, though scarred by loss, is stronger than ever, and she is ready and willing to protect the Asgadians of the Battlerealm.


Set your reminders! Gorr will arrive in-game July 14 and Valkyrie on July 28. In the meantime, fans can now check out Gorr and Valkyrie in the all-new Champion Trailer - Fight of the Valkyrie - and catch up on The Battlerealm with character Deep Dive and Special Moves content on the official Marvel Contest of Champions YouTube channel.
 
BONUS! From June 29 through July 5, a special login calendar will be available in-game where players can receive Champion Shards. Additionally, Marvel Contest of Champions will be holding their Spectacular Summoner Sale beginning July 1 through July 5 – be sure to log in and check out one of the biggest deals Marvel Contest of Champions has to offer this year.
