Plot
In a near future, various dimensions start collapsing. Thor, Black Bolt, and Black Panther are investigating the collapse before encountering a dead Captain America and versions of themselves, who they duel and defeat. In the future, a dying Nick Fury sends his robotic aid, Jocasta, to the player, with a message telling the player to get a group of heroes to restore the balance. After obtaining the heroes Captain America, Black Widow, and Iron Man, Ultron attacks Stark Tower. While fighting off the Ultrons, Jocasta remarks that something seems "off" about them, and the heroes see strange things, like a War Machine armor Tony Stark didn't make, and a hostile Vision. Eventually, the Ultrons leave without much visible damage, but Jocasta finds out that they kidnapped a Stark Industries employee, Jemma Simmons, who was studying alternate dimensions. The heroes rescue Jemma from AIM. Jemma tells them that they took her research in dimensions. Soon afterward, while trying to locate MODOK, the heroes encounter dimensional alternates of several heroes and villains, and realize that AIM has built a device to send people between dimensions. Eventually, the heroes take down MODOK, who reveals that he was trying to research Ultron by summoning his dimensional alternates before Red Skull stole the dimension transporter. After that, SHIELD agents begin to be attacked on the streets by thugs with ISO-8 enhanced weapons, and supposedly secret S.H.I.E.L.D. bases are raided. After fighting off the thugs as well as the Hand, the team chases after Red Skull and Hydra. After defeating Red Skull and Ultron, a large dimension transference device is opened and dimensions begin to collapse. Future versions of the heroes appear, attempting to destroy the world to save theirs. Agent 13 reveals to the team that Captain America was imprisoned after he refused to help destroy the world. Eventually, the team defeats all of their future selves and save the world by splitting dimensions through Jocasta, with help from MODOK.

Development and release
Marvel: Future Fight was released on April 30, 2015 for iOS and Android.

Marketing
The game has implemented various events in conjunction with Marvel Comics events and movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. New character and game content is gradually added to expand the game as the events roll out. A community forum for requests and suggestions is maintained for game subscribers to list their character preferences for the next update and new content.
Sharon Rogers
For the 75th anniversary of Captain America, original character Sharon Rogers was created by the game's development team Subsequently, a comic book series of the same name as the game has been released. It is a tie-in expanding on the characters' background.
Controversy
In light of events around Star Wars Battlefront II and the launch of Marvel :Future Fight update 3.6.0 on December 1,2017 , attention has been called upon loot box mechanics used in the game.
New universal type characters Nova (Sam Alexander), Blue Marvel and Anti-Man could only be acquired through the purchase of Ultimate Hero Chests..
These Chests are priced at 4,500 crystals(discounted to 1,750) and provide materials(biometrics) to acquire any of the available characters in the game. After assessing feedback from the player-base addressing acquisition of the new characters, the game developers assure a guarantee of a 6? character from the Ultimate Hero Chest and a provision to acquire the biometrics of the three characters via the processor in the S.H.I.E.L.D. lab.. The odds to acquire the characters still stand as any universal character that maybe obtained from the chest.
As of December, 12 2017 Netmarble has released an official notice: it states that there will no longer be new characters available via the Ultimate Hero Chest. It has also been stated that the chest will be withdrawn from the game on 10 January 2018..
