Marvel Puzzle Quest is first game to include female Thor
Remember the new version of Thor that Marvel announced back in July? You know, the lady Thor. Only, according to Marvel writer Jason Aaron, she's not "Lady Thor," she's Thor, and she just happens to be a lady. Well, she's about to make her first video game debut, and it's Marvel Puzzle Quest that will play the role of host. Thor: Goddess of Thunder will be a 4-star character reward for Season 7. All players of Marvel Puzzle Quest will be able to summon her in battle starting October 17. The female Thor's inclusion in Marvel Puzzle Quest is part of a 1-year anniversary celebration of the game, with other additions rounding out the game's offerings. Players who have stuck with the game for 365 days will also unlock Devil Dinosaur as a playable character starting on October 8, for example. [Image: Marvel]
Deadpool breaks fourth wall, colored tiles in Marvel Puzzle Quest
Enjoy that Deadpool footage that leaked earlier this week? Well, that's not the only appearance The Merc With A Mouth made at San Diego Comic-Con. The Marvel Games panel revealed that our dear red friend will also be making an appearance in Marvel Puzzle Quest, the match-three battle game on iOS, Android and Steam. It sounds like neither puzzles nor quests are exactly Deadpool's thing, as the episode he appears in is titled "Deadpool vs. Marvel Puzzle Quest." Makes sense to us; about the only thing Deadpool enjoys more than slicing up bad guys and eating delicious chimichangas is breaking the fourth wall. Deadpool's debut episode is available now.
