Daredevil has really made a name for himself over the past decade. Although the character was always popular with comic fans (and for good reason), he really made a huge splash with the Netflix (and now Disney) TV series. Charlie Cox embodied the character and brought Matt Murdock to brand-new audiences, allowing the character to thrive further and prompting fans to go back and find out what they've missed.

As a result, he's been popping up in more mixed-media projects, including an upcoming one. That's right, Daredevil is set to make another starring appearance very soon (via Comicbook).

As revealed by Fantasy Flight Games, Daredevil is finally coming to the living card game (LCG) Marvel Champions. As a living card game, all cards in each set are fixed, and there are no randomized booster packs. Marvel Champions is also cooperative, allowing up to four people (or solo players) to duke it out against a variety of villains.

Originally kicking off in late 2019, Marvel Champions initially featured Avengers characters heavily before transitioning to Guardians of the Galaxy, Champions, Web Warriors, X-Men, X-Force, and more. Come July, Daredevil will enter the fray thanks to the release of the Fear No Evil box. Daredevil will be joined by Echo as the two heroes of the box, followed by six scenarios featuring Kingpin and his associates (Purple Man, Typhoid Mary, Hammerhead, Bullseye).

While most Marvel Champions boxes feature a campaign that loosely links all the scenarios together, you can also play them separately, and mix and match elements of the villain deck through modular gameplay. In other words, you can equip Kingpin with a Goblin Glider, buff him with Mister Sinister gene tech, or bring in enemies from the Guardians of the Galaxy universe.

Fear No Evil is just the start of the Street Level wave for Marvel Champions. Following its release in July, we're getting a dual-release of Jessica Jones and Luke Cage hero packs in the summer, followed by a Shadowland box set in the Fall (also starring Daredevil), then Elektra and Iron Fist dual hero release in the winter.

It's an entire year of Street Level shenanigans, and Daredevil is at the forefront. The Defenders are making their big splash in Marvel Champions, and it's been a long time coming.
