Gaming Event Joins Cross-Company Celebration of Marvel’s First Avenger
Beginning Thursday, June 30th, Marvel Games will be releasing brand new,
never-before-seen versions of Captain America across its portfolio of mobile and PC
game titles.
The event is part of Marvel’s 75th Anniversary celebration of Marvel’s First
Avenger. The event
joins Marvel Publishing’s launch of a new “Captain America” comic book series, ABC’s
“Marvel’s Captain America: 75 Heroic Years” anniversary special and
new consumer product lines featuring the new design of Captain America.
“The unique stories and styles of each Marvel game provide an opportunity for every
title to introduce a boldly imaginative version of the legendary Super Soldier,”
said Bill Rosemann, Marvel Games Creative Director. “Because our partners
enjoy the freedom to craft different storylines for players, fans will see how each
game’s new version of Captain America is sharply distinct from one another but
still completely authentic to the ‘Living Legend’ we all know and love.”
Players will need to battle through limited-time events in each game to earn the new
versions of Captain America. Details behind the alternate versions of Captain
America include:
Marvel Contest of Champions
(Mobile Game): Civil Warrior – On an alternate Earth ravaged by the Civil War
between Captain America’s and Iron Man’s forces, Steve survived, but Tony didn’t.
Riddled
with guilt for the battle’s destruction and the death of his former ally at his own
hands, he assumed the mantle of the Civil Warrior. Adding Tony’s ARC technology to
his Captain America gear, he vowed to use his friend’s legacy to stop this
senseless conflict
from ever happening again.
Marvel Future Fight(Mobile Game): Sharon Rogers –
In an alternate universe where Captain America was never frozen in ice at the end of
World War II, Steve Rogers and Allied resistance fighter Agent Peggy Carter helped
win the great conflict and celebrated V-Day with a private marriage ceremony. Their
daughter,
Sharon Rogers, has taken on her father’s mantle. Highly trained in martial arts and
espionage, and equipped with a blaster lance and energy absorbing shield, Sharon
battles evil and tyrants around the world as Captain America.
Marvel Puzzle Quest
(Mobile Game): Peggy Carter –
In a world where Steve Rogers was assassinated before he could become Captain
America, Peggy Carter joined the Super Soldier Program in his place. A former field
agent, Peggy combined the powers of the Super Soldier serum with her top-notch
combat training,
defending the ideals of freedom and equality as that world’s Captain America.

(Mobile Game): Captain America 1901 – Jeremiah Rogers, known as Captain America

armor he has become a symbol of American freedom, capable of safeguarding those who
fight by his side.
Marvel: Avengers Alliance
(Facebook): American Knight – The Second Dark Age arose from the fires of the Atomic
Age and the aftermath of the Second World War. What once was the danger of “mutual
assured destruction” became the unraveling of the Second Industrial Revolution. Into
this dark and desolate time came a ray of hope with American Knight. Armed with
only his shield and sword, and the full plate mail which he adorned, American
Knight set out to encourage and rally the people to work together and push back
against the darkness
to bring about a new age of hope and hearth fire for all people.
Marvel Heroes 2016
(PC Game): Captain America (Modern Military) –

Rogers became the first and only human to receive a dose of the Super-Soldier Serum

United
States military, Captain America leaps into battle, determined to face today’s
threats to liberty and freedom.
