Players of Marvel Strike Force may remember a time when Elektra was one of the first characters they used, Night Nurse was seen as a good healer and Daredevil’s faction, the Defenders, were a near-dominant force. As is the case with Squad RPG games, the power creep and introduction of new characters can make older ones irrelevant and cause any resources spent on these characters to be seem wasted. But unlike titles with similar functionality and gameplay, the developers of Marvel Strike Force continue to be able to evolve with the times and often times set the bar so high that similar games struggle to keep up. That appears to be the case yet again with Scopely’s upcoming addition of the Shadowland faction. In addition to two new playable characters, White Tiger and Moon Knight are coming to MSF, these three characters – Daredevil, Elektra and Night Nurse – are all about to become quite relevant once again. Note that all information on them and the info below is subject to change.

Here is the look at the planned reworks for Daredevil, Elektra & Night Nurse in MSF:
