Summary
Marvel Snaphas seemingly positioned itself in a cushy formula of seasonal content that will hopefully continue for the foreseeable future. Having a new season each month has proven exceptionally advantageous forMarvel Snap, especially since there seems to be no shortage of Marvel-related content dropping at any time, whether a new season of a Disney Plus show has aired orMarvel Snaphas decided to collaborate witha recent Marvel game such asMarvel’s Midnight Suns. Otherwise, the deck-builder always has endless source material in comics to look to.
That said, one recent addition toMarvel Snap’s locationssuggests that Second Dinner doesn’t plan to remain stagnant in how it encourages fans to play. Indeed, some fans might not have any interest in a particular season’s content, especially if they already know which characters will be introduced and if they will mesh well with their current meta builds. Thankfully, the Fogwell’s Gym location offers increased boosters awarded to both players. It’s fallen out of the pronounced rotation since, but it’s neat nonetheless to see an incentive similar to whatDead by Daylightoften employs to encourage player engagement.

Dead by Daylight’s live-service naturedepends on player retention and engagement, and there is arguably no developer more well-equipped to drop perpetual content, at least within such a niche genre as asymmetrical horror.Dead by Daylighthas arguably made more of a name for itself through the licensed content it has been able to secure, and it might always be torn between fans who enjoy the game’s core mechanics and fans who have problems with them, but it is undeniable that it drops enough original and licensed content to stay relevant and popular regardless.
Moreover,Dead by Daylightfrequently grants players with Blood Hunt incentivesthat reward them with increased Bloodpoints earned each match over a weekend. These events can occur when there’s a larger seasonal event happening or for any random occasion, and either way it is a clever way to have fans play more during that time if they believe they can finally gain enough multiplier stacks to amass a preferred amount of Bloodpoints. If nothing else, Blood Hunts can stir FOMO in some players, andDead by Daylightalmost undoubtedly nets more players within those periods than they do without any other events going on at the same time.
Marvel Snap’s Fogwell’s Gym is a Great Event Incentive
Marvel Snapmight not have an issue with retaining a playerbase at the moment, but putting additional events in place that reward fans with more resources is only a boon in the long run.Marvel Snaphas already unveiled weekend-oriented challenges that rewardEnergy, Gold, and Collector’s Tokensto tremendous effect, and because they coincide with season passes it is advantageous for fans to dip their toes into both. Still, there is a ton of downtime within each season if players are quick to complete daily and seasonal challenges when they unlock, where waiting for the next challenges can easily mean having to wait a couple of days.
Fogwell’s Gym could turn out to beMarvel Snap’s answer toDead by Daylight’s Blood Hunts if it comes back into rotation now and then, though more locations offering different rewards could allowMarvel Snapto beatDead by Daylightto the punch on other generous offerings. Otherwise,Marvel Snapcould consider events that aren’t tied to locations, challenges, or log-in rewards to diversify them further.
