Marvel Snap's reported October 2026 Spotlight Cache update could introduce a Halloween-themed group of vampire and zombie cards, according to GamingonPhone. The update is expected in early October, but the designs, abilities, costs and power values come from leaks and data mines rather than a confirmed release announcement.
A season built around stolen power
The leaked lineup appears to connect the two themes through mechanics that reduce or steal power from opposing cards. Vampire Enchantress could take one power from a selected enemy card for each different cost among the player's cards in play. Vampire America Chavez is also described as a power-stealing card, with the amount tied to locations the player is winning.
Vampire Deacon Frost would use a progression mechanic instead. After three of the player's cards have stolen power, the 4-cost card could transform into Crimson Behemoth, increasing its stated power from 5 to 9.
Zombie cards add destruction and discard effects
The zombie designs focus on a shared Zombie Horde effect. Zombie Nova is listed as a 2-cost, 0-power card that summons the Horde and boosts it when revealed and destroyed. Zombie Venom could destroy the player's first other card at its location, then increase the Horde's power after that destruction.
Zombie Blade is described as a 2-cost, 3-power card that lets the Horde take power from an opponent's hand at the end of the turn if the player played an On Reveal card that turn. Zombie Black Cat instead centers on discarding: when discarded, it could discard another card with a matching discard-triggered text before moving to the location with the fewest cards.
The leak is not a release commitment
The source says the cards may arrive through the shop or Season Pass, but it does not establish final availability or pricing. It also notes that several cards may be changed or removed before the update reaches players, and that the listed costs and power values are provisional. Any deck-building impact therefore remains speculative until Marvel Snap publishes the final version.
