The X-Men Rise in Marvel Strike Force, Psylocke is Available

BleedingCool: FoxNext Games announced today that Marvel Strike Force will be getting a new X-Men patch that will bring in Colossus, Psylocke, and Dark Phoenix. The patch won’t be making any major changes to gameplay beyond maybe some bug fixes or anything happening in the Alliance War, the main focus will be adding in these three new characters for you to work with in order to win matches and score prizes in the game. You’ll be getting Psylocke first whenever the patch goes into effect, as they have yet to announce a date it will be added to Marvel Strike Force, with the remaining two X-Men to come at a later date.

First up is Psylocke, the psionic ninja whose mind is her ultimate weapon. Players that add Psylocke to their squads will be able to bring enemies to their knees with her arsenal of psychic powers including telekinetic blasts and illusions, foresight and her deadly psionic blade. Additionally, players can turn negative effects against their enemies and pierce enemy armor with Psylocke.

Marvel Strike Force Introduces X-Men Phoenix, Colossus, and Psylocke

Marvel.com: Arriving in Marvel Strike Force in waves, starting on May 23, the X-Men are the most powerful team the game has ever seen. Phoenix, Colossus and Psylocke will be joining already available characters Wolverine and Storm on the fight against Magneto and the Mutant Brotherhood in the Arena game mode.

Colossus and Psylocke will roll out in the upcoming in-game update with a Psylocke Event Campaign and Colossus Blitz. Phoenix will be available through a Legendary Event. Players should jump in now so you can earn Psylocke and Colossus character shards before their events end.

Colossus, an unkillable tank, is a powerful Protector that can absorb heavy damage by stacking Positive Effects and mitigate incoming damage with Deflect. His abilities make him difficult to get through, and one of the reasons the X-Men will be the new apex Arena team. Reign down cosmic fire and rise from the ashes with Phoenix, and turn Negative Effects against your enemies with Psylocke.

As for the Psylocke Event Campaign, after the X-Men are captured by Ultimus, Psylocke must lead a stealth team of S.T.R.I.K.E. martial artists on a rescue mission to Limbo.

Build a team of your favorite X-Men and unleash the power of the Phoenix force! Pairing these new characters with Wolverine and Storm allows for new team synergies making your collections that much more powerful. Your X-Men team will be no match as more mutants are added to the game.
