During the Thailand Game Show, Marvel Games and Netmarble introduced an all-new original Marvel Super Hero team, the Warriors of the Sky, exclusively for their popular RPG mobile game, MARVEL Future Fight.
The new team consists of four original Super Heroes who will join Luna Snow, Crescent & Io, and Captain America (Sharon Rogers), as the latest Marvel original characters that have been created for the game.
Each of these new characters will have their own unique power and backstory that players will be able to learn and explore within the game.

“We are excited to introduce this original team, Warriors of the Sky, to MARVEL Future Fight fans and expand on the continually growing, wide variety of character choices in the game,” said senior producer for Marvel Games, Danny Koo.
“Warriors of the Sky is about teamworks,” he added. “Netmarble is an amazing developer to collaborate with on these concepts and we are eager to see how they can bring these unique creations to life in the game.”
“Everyone at Marvel loves collaborating with friends around the world to create characters which entertain, inspire and resonate with our global fans,” said Bill Rosemann, VP of creative for Marvel Games. “Combining awesome powers, cool visuals and memorable backstories, the Warriors of the Sky join the Avengers, the X-Men and the Guardians of the Galaxy as Marvel’s next major super team.”
“Creating characters with different backgrounds and diverse stories and giving players a wide variety of Super Heroes to play as is always a joy, especially with how fans have taken to our past original creations with Marvel such as Luna Snow, and Crescent & Io,” added Joe Lee, executive producer at Netmarble. “We also appreciate collaborating with Marvel on new concepts, especially with The Warriors of the Sky team, and we can’t wait to show more in the future.”
As Warriors of the Sky, the four legendary warriors - Sun Bird, Blue Dragon, War Tiger and Shadow Shell; defended the Temple of the Crescent Moon against all threats to Asia. Now, as evil rises once again, Io – the spirit defender of the temple, calls on these new heroes to protect and unite the planet under one sky.
As was mentioned, each of these four new superheroes have their own backstories and superpowers. We especially love Sun Bird’s aka Burung Matahari aka the new Malaysian superhero!

Soaring into battle as guardian of the South, the searing Sun Bird provides healing support for the Warriors of the Sky. With agile charm, this Malaysian pirate from the 1600s reborn by the power of his twin krises seeks to make the most of his new life by supporting the world however possible.

Defending the East, Blue Dragon possesses the ability to transform whatever she touches into a draconic weapon. With her heirloom spear, whip in hand, this child of a Vietnamese noble family leads the Warriors of the Sky with her protective spirit and wise judgment through any challenge they may encounter.

Strategizing in the North, Shadow Shell disables enemies from afar and defends her teammates with her highly advanced rifle and Ba Gua energy shield. When Shadow Shell's adopted family in Taiwan attempted to poison her, the extremely intelligent tactician gained her unseen powers of toxic immunity and now provides battle strategy for the team.
