Fans are buzzing with excitement over the possibility of iconic characters like Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee making their way into Marvel Rivals in upcoming updates. This anticipation builds on NetEase Games’ previous plan to introduce a new hero every six weeks, a strategy to keep players hooked. Adding fuel to the fire, dataminers have unearthed clues suggesting Blade’s arrival is also on the horizon.
In the midst of Marvel Rivals’ first season, “Eternal Night Falls,” a major leak has surfaced showing evidence that Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee are hidden within the game’s files. In this season, the Fantastic Four are battling to save New York from Dracula’s menacing forces, a storyline that many players are immersed in. However, the prospect of new characters is a temptation even more exciting for many fans.
As things stand, aside from the much-anticipated arrival of The Thing and Human Torch in a significant mid-season update, there’s no official roster release schedule yet. However, the pledge from NetEase Games to introduce fresh heroes every few weeks holds great promise. With Marvel’s vast universe to draw from, players are eager to welcome new faces and foes.
Recently, a well-known leaker, X0X_LEAK, took to Twitter to reveal that Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee might soon be featured in the game. According to the leak, Gambit could take on the role of a Duelist, while Rogue would lend her expertise as a Strategist. Jubilee’s role is less clear, though speculation leans toward her being a Duelist too. There’s also a whisper about Cyclops joining the fray, though details on his potential involvement remain scarce at this point.
Players have been pushing for more X-Men to join Marvel Rivals’ growing roster, with rumors hinting at the inclusion of the X-Mansion as a new gaming location. Meanwhile, Professor X’s potential appearance as a Strategist has also stirred excitement. As is often the case with leaks, such rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, given the ever-shifting nature of game development.
Each update seems to come with newfound rumors and datamine discoveries, including a recent revelation about Blade featuring unique abilities like transformation and wall-penetrating vision. While these aren’t confirmed, Season 1 artwork featuring Blade has been seen in a Gallery Card, hinting at his eventual debut. With so much potential content looming, fans are eagerly looking forward to what NetEase Games has in store for their beloved hero shooter.
So much is riding on these updates to keep the gameplay varied and engaging. Marvel Rivals prides itself on a deep lineup of beloved figures from the Marvel universe, fast-paced 6v6 action, and dynamic, destructible environments that encourage players to adapt and strategize. This constant influx of fresh content ensures an evolving experience that no Marvel fan should miss out on.
