As Marvel Snap continues to grow and experiment with new features in 2024, players are starting to see how the game's future roadmap is coming to fruition. While Marvel Snap is still missing some fan-requested features like a card graveyard and customizable card borders, the Avengers vs. X-Men season is working to improve the game's social interactions with a new addition to its Season Pass. Players who purchase Marvel Snap's Premium Season Pass this season will gain access to a brand-new emote, marking the first time a new emote has been made available in this way.

Emotes have been Marvel Snap's sole method of communication since the game's launch but were limited to only a few available options until recently. The December 2023 season of Marvel Snap introduced new emote options, but they were locked behind Marvel Snap's Album feature that required players to collect a certain type of card variant in order to unlock the new emote. However, players now have a much easier time unlocking a new emote thanks to the inclusion of one on the Premium track of the Avengers vs. X-Men Season Pass.

Is Marvel Snap Worth Playing in 2024?

Marvel Snap has seen a lot of changes since it first launched in 2022, some of which have players reconsidering if the game's worth playing in 2024.

Marvel Snap's Avengers vs. X-Men Season Includes a New Emote in the Season Pass

Marvel Snap's Season Passes have historically included a mixture of cosmetics and currency in addition to the new Season Pass Card. While this season's Season Pass Card, Hope Summers, is an exciting addition for many types of decks, what's even more exciting is the inclusion of the new Cyclops Crazy Emote on the Premium Season Pass track. Despite new emotes being available since their introduction in December 2023, they have been somewhat difficult for players to obtain, since they require players to collect all 12 necessary variants of a given Album.

Even as more Albums have been added to Marvel Snap, the chase to collect all cards within an Album and earn a new emote can get expensive quickly. As such, it's a welcome surprise to see a new emote available as part of Marvel Snap's latest Season Pass, opening the door for emotes to become a standard reward in future Season Passes. Hopefully making new emotes more widely available through avenues like the Season Pass will encourage more communication between players during matches, and remove some of the negative connotations surrounding emoting in Marvel Snap.

All Cosmetics Included in Marvel Snap's Avengers vs. X-Men Season Pass

Not only is the new Cyclops Crazy Emote available via the Premium Season Pass, but it is unlocked quite early at Level 14, meaning Marvel Snap players can put this emote to good use from an early point in the season. While some players were concerned that the addition of a new emote in the Season Pass would replace another cosmetic usually found in the Season Pass, it appears this is not the case as there are still three new card variants, three player titles, three avatars, and two cardbacks, which are the same numbers of those cosmetics included in previous Season Passes.

It seems like the Cyclops Crazy Emote replaced a tier that would normally yield Marvel Snap's Gold currency from the Season Pass, which is definitely a worthy trade-off. The value added by including a new emote on the Season Pass as an additional cosmetic goes a long way towards making Marvel Snap's Season Pass a worthwhile purchase, which hopefully means a new emote will be a new staple of future Season Passes.
