Marvel Snap patch gives all active players revamped Kitty Pryde card

A new round of Marvel Snap patch notes has been released and the latest update is giving all existing players the revamped Kitty Pryde card for free. For those out of the loop, the popular mutant with the ability to pass through solid matter had previously been removed from the game due to a bug that caused crashes for some players.

Now that she’s returned to the fray, you’ll finally be able to place her down once again in every location that you want – providing you have the best deck to back her up, that is. If you aren’t a fan of her new ability, though, then there are plenty of other changes in store that you’ll be able to check out below.

Marvel Snap patch notes

Aside from the return of Kitty Pryde, this is a relatively light update as the developers haven’t made any significant balance changes with the patch. However, they have revealed the seasonal series drop and you may be pleased at some of the names included with the latest batch. You can check out the entire list of notes here:

Balance Updates

This is a light week relative to the excitement of recent patches. The metagame as April ended featured a diverse metagame with healthy win rates and cube gain rates, and only a couple small popularity outliers. We’ll have more news for you soon on the future of our OTA balance patches, but today is mostly just a couple card reworks.
