Marvel Strike Force Age of Annihilus update: All changes explored

Brace yourself for a new update! (Image via Scopely)

The Marvel Strike Force Age of Annihilus update is set to introduce simplified stores and currencies. The developer has assessed numerous campaigns, events, and game modes over the past few years and concluded that the gradual increase in complexity has made event participation and resource management a bit challenging for players.

The biggest problem with resource management in this game is that currency balances get inflated over time, creating imbalances for game mode stores and narrowing distribution methods for valuable items.

To that end, the developer will attempt to simplify the in-game economy by focusing on one main currency for each Chapter while simultaneously releasing a new store packed with high-value items.

So, the question emerges: What is the new currency and store, and what are players supposed to do with their old currencies? Read on to find out.

Intel

Each Chapter's Intel Store will offer some of the best items in the title. However, claiming them will require Intel, a currency players must accumulate gradually as they play the Chapter. This new currency will arrive in-game with the Marvel Strike Force Age of Annihilus update.

Intel can be earned by simply playing the game. This includes participating in events, using the Command Center, battling in game modes, and reaching milestones. Note that the collected Intel will be converted into a Legacy Currency at the end of every Chapter.

Supply Credits and Supply Shop
