Episode

An Episode is additional playable content to the base game.

Subsequent episodes have increasing requirements in terms of the Combat Rating of the player character.

Starting from Earth 3, upon release of an episode, all players with a minimum level (without a Combat Rating requirement) can access an easier event version of its content (which excludes Adaptive Augments, Catalyst (Augments), fixed-level Iconic Battle Suits, their elite versions, or omnipotence gear), until the release of the next episode. While within, their CR is boosted to the minimum of the episode.

While the story of episodes usually expands from the base game, the events that happen in episodes do not affect the base game (which can be considered to be taking place before all episodes). Episodes themselves form a continuity according to their chronological order of release.

Notes[]

On March 31st, 2015, Episode playable content was separated from powers, upgrades and Legends characters that were previously included in similarly named DLC packs.
Halls of Power Part II was the last quarterly episode, until Amazon Fury Part III, starting a new cycle of large episodes.
Episodes 15 - 26 were released on a monthly basis containing: one piece of content for large groups (raid, operation or alert) with the other piece of content for small groups (solo challenge or duo).
On June 16th, 2021, all episodes went free to play and were removed from the marketplace.
Previously, there were periods during which most or all episodes are free to play with some limitations. During the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, episodes went free-to-play and eventually this became permanent.
- Free players can purchase fixed-level Iconic Battle Suits (e.g. War-Metal) from respective vendors, or episode iconic styles from Vending Unit 00 (e.g. Shepherd of Adara) with Source Marks.
- They could also receive Catalyst (Augments) drops, obtain Adaptive Augments and level them up, unlike in the event version.
