'Marvel Snap' Power Cosmic season release date, challenges, pools, and new cards


As Warriors of Wakanda wraps up in Marvel Snap, it’s time to start looking ahead to the next season: “The Power Cosmic.” This new season brings more content than any of the previous ones, adding 16 new cards into the fold. It also introduces Pool 4 and Pool 5 cards, which are rarer than previous collections. But when will The Power Cosmic launch and what can we expect from it? Here’s what you need to know about the latest season of Marvel Snap.

When is the Marvel Snap Power Cosmic release date?

The new season of Marvel Snap, The Power Cosmic launches on December 5, 2022, at 10 p.m. Eastern.

When is the Marvel Snap Power Cosmic end date?

Thus far, every Marvel Snap season has begun on the first Tuesday of each month as the previous season ends. Assuming The Power Cosmic lasts around a month, we’re looking at January 2, 2023.

What are the Power Cosmic updates?

Of course, the new season will come with seasonal challenges, new cards, and lots of rewards to earn.

As always, you can expect a new Season Pass, with tiers of content to unlock, including Gold Bars, Boosters, cards, Credits, and other cosmetics. The first 50 tiers are all set in stone, which are in the same order for everyone, while everything after tier 50 is a random drop found within a Season Cache.

Remember, there are two versions of the Season Pass: The Premium Season Pass for $9.99 and the Premium + Bundle for $14.99. The Premium edition gives you access to the standard Season Pass, while the Bundle features 10 tier-skips.

Silver Surfer will play a role this season, as well, and will likely be featured as part of the Season Pass.

This season also introduces new variants for The Collector and The Infinaut.
