Marvel Rivals Season 2, released on April 11, 2025, features a brilliant celebration of mutant culture on the bright Krakoa map. This season adds a powerful hero who has already shaken up the game.
Emma Frost, the telepathic Vanguard, dominates in two forms: psychic human for ranged control and diamond-skinned melee for frontline brawling. Her adaptability makes her a popular choice for strategic team competitions. Ultron, the malevolent Strategist, is also poised to join the lineup in May, deploying drones to heal allies or harm enemies.
These additions raise the total number of playable characters to 38, each of which adds to the game’s fast-paced 6v6 chaos over destructible maps. However, rumors of what’s coming are stealing the show. Datamines and in-game teases point to an exciting array of unannounced heroes, ranging from classic X-Men to surprising wildcards, ready to join the fight.
