Focusing on the character of Ultron, this new Battle Matrix Protocol mode is so cool that it’s a shame the developers are making it a limited-time only battle. Marvel Rivals Ultron Battle Matrix Protocol Starting on June 6, 2025, Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol is joining Marvel Rivals. This new mode will task players with thinking more than they would during an average Rivals match. Running until June 23, 2025, this new game mode offers a brand-new way to play the hero shooter. In Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol, “only the most tactical minds will survive”. Instead of playing a traditional match of third-person shooting, you’ll be engaging in more of an auto-battler mode with each character having their own stats. In order to be better than your opponents, you’ll make use of a per-round currency to buy specific modules to enhance your character with better defence, more health or other bonuses. Depending on the hero, some bonuses make more sense than others, and specific hero power-ups can be grabbed as well. It’s a seriously awesome-looking mode, but it’ll only be playable within the game for a couple of weeks. After the amount of work that must’ve been done to create the mode, it’s a shame that all of that work will be just scrapped after the event is over. While the event goes on, players will be able to earn some exclusive cosmetics for Ultron, including sprays and more. However, the star of the show really is the brand-new game mode that will only be present for a few weeks.
