Less than two months after release, Marvel Heroes has received a major update introducing sweeping changes across the board.
Among the most significant of the changes is the addition of what are called Eternity Splinters. These are a new form of currency which replace the existing hero token drops and Cosmic Keys, the latter of which will be converted into Splinters upon their removal from the game on August 2.
Rather than unlocking them through rare, random drops, additional heroes can now be purchased in any order players wish with Splinters.
According to the official update notes, drops of Splinters are affected by players’ Special Item Find stat. They are intended to dropped at a rate which will “make Marvel Heroes slightly faster than other free-to-play games in terms of getting free heroes.” New heroes are currently the primary thing that can be purchased with Splinters, but there are plans to add more options in the future.
