As Season 4 of Marvel Rivals nears its conclusion, NetEase has subtly introduced hints about the next batch of playable heroes for Season 5. The multiplayer hero shooter recently completed a successful seasonal event and is preparing for the transition to the upcoming season.
The game's player base grew thanks to the new PvE Zombies mode introduced last month. Additionally, during the Voyage to Astonish event, players earned free rewards including a special MCU skin for Blade, contributing to increased player activity.
NetEase quietly teased the new characters through the November 6 patch notes on their official site. Thanks to Miller Ross, players got their first glimpse of two classic Marvel X-Men characters, Gambit and Rogue, likely to be part of the Season 5 roster.
