Marvel Snap's Character Mastery System Patch Delayed Until February 11

An update this afternoon from the Second Dinner team has announced that next week's patch is being delayed. This is the patch that includes Character Mastery, so we won't be getting our hands on it right when the new season begins on February 4, but instead on February 11.

Quote From Griffin

Last week's service interruptions in the US prevented us from performing our usual QA and testing on the upcoming patch.

Due to this interruption, we've delayed next week's patch one week to February 11. This patch includes Character Mastery (which we're excited about!). Next season still begins on Feb 4 as scheduled.

Thank you for your understand and patience.

Second Dinner gave us a preview of Character Mastery last year during their roadmap announcement and although they didn't make their goal of the end of last year, they weren't wrong when they said "very soon thereafter". The Character Mastery system, as we know it, will reward you for growing your collection of cards. Everything that you've already done that would provide you progression counts towards mastery, so no worries about missing out.

Each character, regardless of which variants you play with, will have their own mastery track that unlocks goodies each time you level. This includes new finishes, flares, and reaction sets. The introduction of the system should also add over 25 brand new flares and finishes, so there is a ton of new stuff to collect.

We'll get to learn more soon about the character mastery system. What are you hoping to see?
