4/28 EDIT: All platforms have been approved for release, 226 will be going out as soon as it processes on each platform!

Hey all, just wanted to give a heads up that due to some run-of-the-mill shenanigans with one of the first parties that we're delaying the release of 226 slightly.

Nothing particularly strange here... We're not pulling an Epic and getting into a battle against all the first parties or anything, just a thing that came up that slows our release a little. Still planning on pushing it Live this week on all platforms. This won't have any effect on ongoing events for this week.

Just letting you all know in case you were wondering why that Update button hasn't lit up like it normally does every other Monday!

    Is there some kind of code-speak going on here that I'm missing?

    iOS 14.5 has privacy tracking transparency changes. It probably covers one of the various MPQ trackers that are embedded, so there could be some reluctance pushing an update that reveals this to a user, or by being forced to maybe remove tracking features.

    It‘s not specific to MPQ. Some background for example: https://www.google.de/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/recode/22393931/facebook-ios-14-5-app-tracking-transparency-iphone-privacy

    I was thinking my poor english was very poor.
    Now I feel a bit more reassured.

    Yes, don't pull an Epic and cause this game kicked off all platforms.  I'm sure Disney won't like that if that happened either.

    Not yet, but I can give you a clue:
    "It's not Dark Beast."

    Can't see how to PM you, but from what I hear it is somekindof villain. With connections to characters already in the game.

    Maybe yes. Maybe no.
    Imagine May as a 5star with an UncleBen support.

    I think they are looking for the D3 clue, not the mined information on who the character is.  Some people prefer to guess and be surprised instead.

    Yeah i was asking for the official character hint, but we'll all figure out who it is next week when they tell us lol

    I guess we have 3 options:
    1.) Another WandaVision character
    2.) We are done with WandaVision and are now onto Falcon & Winter Soldier
    3.) Somebody completely random like Yellowjacket was

    Are they done with Phoenix 5 characters?  If not, that could be option 4.

    4). Comic book related

    They like to promote their ongoing comics.  I think there is a big xmen event going on and there is also a comic where characters have mashed up with other characters.  Maybe the next 5 star will be Doomernaut or Juggerdoom or whatever they are calling the dr doom jugg mash up.
