Brazil Digital ECA Update

In compliance with Brazil’s Digital ECA, we have implemented measures that will prevent players in Brazil from purchasing in-game loot boxes. Starting with the v.268 update on April 22, 2026 (after maintenance) players who access the game from Brazil will no longer be able to purchase the following items:

  • All items with an element of chance including circulators, cubes, coupons and boxes with probability, Gachapon items, and scrolls. These items will no longer be visible to you within the Cash Shop and items obtained prior to the change can still be used.

  • Marvel Machine: Marvels or Double Marvels.

We apologize for any inconvenience this causes for our Brazilian players. This is a temporary measure implemented while we continue our efforts to comply with Brazil’s legal requirements. Our legal review and related response measures remain ongoing, and we are working to strengthen the age verification process for players in Brazil. Once complete, we will share a further update and implement any additional measures.

Atualização do ECA Digital do Brasil

Em conformidade com a Lei do ECA Digital do Brasil, implementamos medidas que impedirão jogadores no Brasil de comprar caixas de espólios no jogo. A partir da atualização v.268 em 22 de abril de 2026 (após a manutenção), os jogadores que acessarem o jogo no Brasil não poderão mais comprar os seguintes itens:

  • Todos os itens com algum elemento de sorte, incluindo circuladores, cubos, selos, cupons e caixas com probabilidades, itens de Gachapon e pergaminhos. Esses itens não estarão mais disponíveis para você na Loja de Dinheiro, mas itens obtidos antes da mudança ainda poderão ser usados.

  • Giros de Marvel Machine ou Double Marvel.

Sentimos muito por quaisquer inconvenientes que as novas diretrizes causem aos jogadores brasileiros. Esta é uma medida temporária implementada enquanto continuamos trabalhando para cumprir as exigências legais do Brasil. Nossa análise jurídica e as medidas de resposta relacionadas continuam em andamento, e estamos nos esforçando para aprimorar o processo de verificação de idade para jogadores no Brasil. Assim que o processo for concluído, compartilharemos outra atualização e implementaremos quaisquer medidas adicionais.
