"New X-Men Season in Marvel Snap Brings Back High School Memories"

The halls of Xavier’s Institute are alive once again in *Marvel Snap*, and this time, it’s the New X-Men bringing the energy. With the introduction of the May season, players can look forward to a fresh wave of powerful characters and game-changing mechanics. The latest addition to the roster is none other than Esme Cuckoo, a bold and rule-breaking telepathic clone of Emma Frost who wastes no time making her presence felt on the battlefield.

Esme joins a new generation of mutants including Surge, Prodigy, Elixir, and Xorn—each one bringing their own unique flair to the game. Her On Reveal ability is especially potent: she pulls a random card from your deck, modifies its cost to three, boosts its Power to four, and drops it directly into your hand. It's like having a psychic wildcard ready to turn the tide of battle at any moment.

As part of the Season Pass, each week introduces another Series 5 character into the mix, adding layers of strategy and surprise to your gameplay. Whether you're manipulating costs, copying abilities, or resurrecting fallen cards, these new recruits will keep your matches dynamic and unpredictable throughout the month.

And if you missed out on Captain Carter’s Snap Pack before, now’s your chance to grab it as it makes a triumphant return alongside the new content.

New Locations: Strategy Gets a Major Upgrade

This season also brings two exciting locations that dramatically shift how games unfold. Pit of Exile disrupts high-power strategies by resetting all cards above a certain Power threshold to just one Power. This forces players to rethink aggressive builds and focus on efficiency and timing.

Meanwhile, Genosha becomes a final-turn battleground by removing all but your most expensive card at the end of the game. This location rewards late-game planning and creates thrilling last-minute comebacks, turning what seemed like a lost match into an instant victory.

More Marvel Snap Fun Beyond the Battleground

Outside of gameplay, there’s plenty more to collect this month with three brand-new Collection Albums launching on specific dates:

• May 8th: A Penny Arcade collaboration featuring exclusive variants by Mike Krahulik.
• May 15th: A cute and colorful chibi-themed collection illustrated by Rian Gonzales.
• May 30th: A disco-fueled celebration with Deadpool, Spider-Man, and Dazzler getting their groove on in vibrant dance-themed variants.
