The awakening of Knull casts a foreboding shadow over Panther God Bast. In response, Shuri dispatches the Guardians of the Galaxy to Klyntar to confront this looming threat. After the Milano crash-lands, the Guardians encounter Venom. Tensions rise as Venom advocates caution, citing the volatile nature of the Knull Essence and the risks to Klyntar’s symbiotes. Meanwhile, the Guardians, determined to act swiftly, aim to neutralize Knull’s influence on the gods, including Bast. With differing priorities, the two factions part ways to pursue separate strategies.
This storyline promises an engaging backdrop to the intense battles awaiting players on this new map.
