Marvel Rivals is gearing up for a major content rollout, with NetEase Games preparing to launch Season 3 on July 11, while leaks offer early glimpses into Seasons 4 and 5. Each season promises bold new themes, characters, and settings that expand the fast-growing Marvel hero shooter.
Season 3, titled The Abyss Awakens, takes players to Klyntar, homeworld of the symbiotes, and introduces Jean Grey as a powerful Duelist. Using her Phoenix Force abilities, Jean Grey deals heavy ranged damage and can eliminate large groups of enemies with her ultimate, including Rocket Raccoon’s gadgets and Loki’s clones. She also has a team synergy with Wolverine, boosting his Feral Leap to deal more damage and heal over time.
Additionally, Blade will join the Duelist lineup during a major mid-season update, expanding the game’s roster of supernatural heroes.
Looking ahead, reliable leaker X0X_Leak has revealed that Season 4 will focus on K’un-Lun, the mystical city tied to the martial artist Iron Fist. This suggests Iron Fist will play a central role in the next chapter, with fans speculating on the introduction of other mystical Marvel characters such as Colleen Wing or Shang-Chi.
Meanwhile, Season 5 is rumored to explore themes of love and romance, a rare focus in superhero games. If accurate, this season may align with the holiday period around November and December, despite not being officially confirmed. Some fans have expressed mixed reactions, comparing the timing to receiving a Valentine’s Day update during the holidays.
Despite the unusual seasonal themes, the community has responded positively to Season 3’s spooky, symbiote-themed battle pass, even though it launched in the summer. Several characters have received dark, stylized skins tied to Knull and the Phoenix Force, with more themed cosmetics teased for later updates.
As NetEase continues to roll out regular two-month seasons, players can expect a steady stream of content and new heroes. With Jean Grey, Iron Fist, and a romantic twist on the horizon, Marvel Rivals is building a dynamic and diverse future for its fans.
