“MARVEL Strike Force” celebrates five years of community, teamwork and epic Marvel action

Today, Scopely and Boundless Entertainment announced the fifth anniversary celebration of “MARVEL Strike Force,” the action-packed, mobile role-playing game where players can create their ultimate Marvel squad with iconic superheroes and villains to battle their way to victory.

With more than 1 billion hours played, “MARVEL Strike Force” continues to be one of the most enduring strategy games in the industry. Over the past five years, the community has engaged in more than 10 billion heated blitz battles and banded together for more than 56 million raids, launched by more than 525,000 alliances.

“The journey of ‘MARVEL Strike Force’ has been incredible,” said Sean Dugan, Creative Director of “MARVEL Strike Force.” “Five years ago, we started out with just a handful of characters and modes. Today, we have an expansive roster of more than 225 superheroes and villains, plus a host of new ways for players to engage with their Alliances. It’s been an honor to deliver endless hours of fun and epic Marvel action for our global community, and we can’t wait to show our players what’s in store for the future.”

The “MARVEL Strike Force” fifth anniversary officially takes place on March 28, 2023. To honor the game’s heritage and its devoted player community, “MARVEL Strike Force” is celebrating all month long with a healthy mix of nostalgic and future-facing events. The team at the Scopely Studio, Boundless Entertainment, has also released a developer diary video, discussing “MARVEL Strike Force’s” legacy and ongoing evolution.

Highlights from the fifth anniversary celebration and developer diary video include:
