Thanks for the heads up. Lot of things that I need to unpack here. This is a series of UI prototypes and concept work done by Rick Stalder, Senior UI artist at Crystal Dynamics. https://twitter.com/spyder4lyfe1994/status/1310297585295470595

Cursor prototypes over what appears to be a resources-based gear synthesis menu.

HUD layout concept with all possible features laid out simultaneously. If you remember the old achievement leak, it featured an operation named "Welcome to Skywatch." In this screenshot, you can see the current mission is "Skywatch Intro"

...has some interesting testing data floating around that many mistook for a playable character named Frostbite. Also of note: SKY WATCH in place of Avengers Initiative, and the campaign objective being a return to San Francisco.

System popup at title screen concept, nothing too exciting here.

Appearance menu that seems to imply the existence of exotic patterns (and outfits, consequently.)

Prototype challenge card that looks radically different from what we have today. That resource there is a "repair kit" which you'll see in a later image.

Above: Looks like Nameplates had unique names at that stage in development. Wonder if those are the "Identifiers" from the beta pastebins.

Looks like they were still playing with how to tackle premium challenge card rewards. It wouldn't surprise me to see it change one more time before Kate Bishop's release, even beyond what got shared online yesterday.

You can see the concept art portraits up there in the top-right corner, with the short-haired Kamala being immediately identifiable. Also of note: There's your confirmation that "Battleverse" is probably not a PVP mode.

Very interesting to see the gold coast in this screenshot of the wartable map.

And wouldn't you know it. Black Panther and War Machine. Of particular interest to me here is the military faction (which I believe people found reference to in the beta datamine, led by Dum Dum Dugan.)

Now here's the really juicy stuff. A lot of these are now used as objective-based materials lik ethe Fiber Optics and Gear Parts, but we know Repair Kit showed up in that early challenge card concept. What did it do? Also: Cavorite

Time Shards and possibly Cosmic Light I believe are tied to the Tachyon Rift content, and are collected from the balls of energy seen in the trailers.

Early Iron Man skill names and icons. Just like the outfits,, skills are named during their development, but that name often changes through consult with Marvel. But those early names still float around in filenames and code.

And lastly, mission modifiers. Fascinating that some are clearly labeled as cut, when there is other cut content in earlier pictures not labeled as such. Perhaps that content isn't cut after all! Fascinating.
