Marvel Snap Hype The Hero Event – Event Schedule

The brand new limited-time event, Hype the Hero, comes following the launch of the Power Cosmic season, which began on 2nd December 2022. This event coincides with the release of the game’s themed music video, Hero, by Dutch electronic DJ and producer Martin Garrix and American recording artist JVKE.

The music video highlights several variant Hero cards which can be acquired during the Hype the Hero event. While the developer, Second Dinner, didn't quite explain how the event works, it will conclude on 5th January 2023 at 10:59:59 pm PT / 6th January 2022 at 6:59:59 am UTC.

Marvel Snap Hype The Hero Event – Gameplay Rules

As stated above, Second Dinner could have made things more transparent on how the event works but a quick navigation around the game's Home screen will help you gain some clarity. Players need to locate the "Joining the Show: Hero" web event from the Home screen or by tapping the newspaper icon top left of the screen and find the "Hype the Hero" news article to be directed to the web event page.

This brings you to the event page, which by entering, serves as your entry to the Hype The Hero web event. You are tasked with collecting records which can be done by watching the music video and participating in matches by earning Cosmic Cubes.

You can get one record per Cosmic Cube, and we know that the maximum of Cosmic Cubes earned for each match is eight, with the total amount of records you can accumulate being eight records. Additionally, certain cards can boost the number of records collected if added to your deck; however, they can only be used for one week.

These are the cards that will double the records collected for the Hype the Hero and their schedule in Marvel Snap:

• Week 1: Gambit and Rogue
• Week 2: Doctor Doom, Invisible Woman, and Mister Fantastic
• Week 3: Sandman and Spider-Man (Peter Parker)
• Week 4: Angela and Sera

You can collect a maximum of 100 records daily, which will be added to a HYPE METER seen on the web event page. There are various milestones that you can achieve and, by doing so, unlock various rewards.
