Both suits share the visual look debuted in Blade’s first appearance and continue to contribute to the look and tone of the current seasonal narrative arc.

There is a brand-new mode named Resource Rumble that launches on August 22. Although details of gameplay are not known as yet, the mode will be set on a new map — Klyntar: Throne of Knull — based on Marvel’s symbiote universe.
In addition, the Ancient Powers Awaken event begins, bringing new cosmetic content. So far, only one skin is confirmed — Iron Man’s Extrembiote Armor. Promo art also hints at upcoming looks for Venom, Doctor Strange, and Iron Fist, though details haven’t been revealed yet.
