New Heroes Coming to Season 2
Definitely, nothing is more exciting than having new heroes coming into the new season. One of the Marvel Rivals Season 2 leaks includes the addition of two heroes. In Season 1, the game seemed “supersized” after they introduced their Fantastic Four roster.
For Season 2, these two new playable characters will come out approximately every six weeks to build enough anticipation. Many are saying that Blade is likely to fill one of the hero slots available in the game. These comments come out after putting details together such as:
- Blades appearance in the update trailer of Season 1.5
- Currently imprisoned in the Dracula’s castle found on the Central Park map
- The current season’s lore concludes with Blade’s liberation and Dracula’s defeat
Meanwhile, the second hero slot appears to belong to the highly popular Emma Frost. Some leaks are pointing to her joining the current roster since voice lines were referencing the mutant. This is obvious for some characters such as Wolverine and Psylocke. Besides, many are saying that she might be in the Vanguard class causing further excitement.
There are high chance that more heroes will come in the future updates of the game. It may include characters like Deadpool, Captain Marvel, and more X-Men members. Yet, this might be in later seasons or updates of the game.
Season 2 Theme: X-Men Hellfire Gala

Further, leakers also revealed more evidence about the theme from the discoverable skins in the game files. The X-Men Hellfire Gala is one of the events in X-Men lore which comes from the 2021 storyline.
