The new Resurgence Mega Capsule is here! These will drop from random enemies you’ve defeated from now until October 9th, and will cost 7 stabilizers to open. Note that you’ll only have 14 days in which to open each Resurgence Mega Capsule you collect before they expire.

Each Resurgence Mega Capsule randomly contains 1 of 17 brand-new Powerset-inspired Materials, as well as the following 9 unlocked Time Capsules:

  • All older Time Capsules have been updated to the newer reward structure of Kryptonian Time Capsules. So when each time capsule is opened, you get to choose your reward!
