- Peni Parker Liquid Shell Bundle
- Angela Queen of Hel Bundle
- Squirrel Girl Acorn Divinity Bundle
- Squirrel Girl Acorn Divinity Emoji Bundle
- A limited-time Infinity Saga tab is coming to the Store after the August 28 update.

- After using an Encore Coupon on an eligible purchase, players will instantly receive another identical coupon.
- Fixes and optimizations include:

Patch Impact
The gameplay-facing changes are limited to bug fixes around Angela and Doctor Strange, while the rest of the patch focuses on store additions and cosmetic presentation. The Endgame Encore event affects players who want MCU-themed costume bundles in the Infinity Saga tab, since the coupon system lowers the purchase price and can chain into another coupon after use.
Player Impact
Players can expect the patch to be available with no server downtime, so they can patch and play immediately. If they plan to buy items from the Infinity Saga tab during the event window, the Encore Coupon discount is directly relevant. The hero fixes should remove the specific visual and ability interaction issues described in the notes.
