A recent leak has revealed that five new characters—Forge, Amaranth, Hive, Armor, and White Fox—may be coming to Marvel Rivals in the future. This news follows the recent launch of Season 2: Hellfire Gala, which introduced Emma Frost as a new Vanguard hero. The leak, shared by well-known source X0X_LEAK, suggests that these heroes have already been found in the game’s files, fueling speculation about their potential arrival in upcoming updates.
NetEase Games has an aggressive release plan for Marvel Rivals, having recently shortened its seasonal cycle from three months to two. With the promise of two new heroes per season, fans can now expect a new character to be added every month. Based on the leak, White Fox and Forge are rumored to be Strategists, Amaranth a melee Duelist, and both Hive and Armor will likely join the game as Vanguards. This addition would help balance the current roster, which leans heavily toward Duelists.
In addition to the new heroes, Marvel Rivals is also set to receive a new limited-time mode called Giant-Size Brain Blast on April 25. This mode applies a fun bobble-head visual to all heroes but doesn’t alter gameplay mechanics. With this playful new feature and a steady stream of hero additions, including the possible debut of the long-requested Ultron as a Strategist, the game's future looks bright and full of exciting content for fans.
