A promising leak has the Marvel Rivals fanbase buzzing with the possibility of five new characters joining the action-packed hero shooter. Known for getting the scoop on upcoming updates, this time the leaker revealed that Forge, Amaranth, Hive, Armor, and White Fox might soon be part of the game’s expanding lineup. The game, which has just ushered in its second season, recently introduced Emma Frost as a new Vanguard, adding more depth and strategy to the battles.
If it feels like there’s been a barrage of character leaks, that’s quite accurate—Marvel Rivals’ developers, NetEase Games, are none too shy about their rapid release schedule. They’ve even committed to shortening seasons from three months to two as they charge forward. Despite this, players can rest assured knowing that two fresh heroes per season are still in the cards, promising a new addition each month to keep things lively and exciting.
On social media, particularly Twitter, X0X_LEAK was at it again, dropping hints about five intriguing characters waiting in the game’s wings. Although specifics about their individual arrivals remain under wraps, excitement brews as fans anticipate their debut. Notably, White Fox is rumored to be a keen Strategist, while Amaranth might step in as a fierce Duelist. Joining them, Hive and Armor could bolster the ranks of Vanguards, creating more tactical opportunities on the battlefield. Excitingly, the beloved X-Men character Forge is expected to enhance his team as a supportive Strategist.
The speculation around these new additions is fueled by NetEase’s focus on bringing more Strategists and Vanguards onboard, a move fans have been clamoring for. Unlike Duelists who dominate the current roster, there’s an eagerness to see more diversity in roles, which is likely why Ultron, a formidable villain, is tipped to emerge as a Strategist in a forthcoming mid-season twist.
Additionally, Marvel Rivals is gearing up for a thrilling new feature set to drop on April 25. The Giant-Size Brain Blast will introduce an amusing bobble-head aesthetic to each hero while retaining the game’s regular mechanics. This playful mode is sure to add a fun twist, encouraging fans to dive back into the game and explore what else Marvel Rivals has in store. Overall, the future is looking bright, with the community eagerly anticipating the upcoming changes and new content.
