The Next Two Marvel Rivals Heroes Teased
Marvel Rivals fans have been eagerly awaiting new character reveals, and it seems NetEase is steadily teasing fresh additions. Recently, two new X-Men heroes were subtly introduced through a background image in the latest update's promotional material.
Gambit and Rogue Spotted
While not explicitly listed in the patch notes, Gambit and Rogue appeared in the background of the hero image for the 2025/11/06 update. The change was subtle, often overlooked due to the familiar silhouette of Black Panther dominating the scene.
"I'm so used to seeing Black Panther's recognisable silhouette that I almost didn't notice this sneaky change for version 2025/11/06, but after closer inspection of Marvel Rivals' home news page, I can safely say that it's the iconic duo."
Community Observations
The first hint of these new heroes came from user @mmmmmmmmiller, who spotted them in the patch notes background. Another community member, @badguyjohn, provided a clearer image of Gambit and Rogue together.
"New heroes coming to Rivals Season 5 was spotted by @mmmmmmmmiller in the patch notes background, and thanks to @badguyjohn they've made a clearer version of the two heroes."
Timing and Future Expectations
With Marvel Rivals Season 4 scheduled to end on November 14, 2025, this appears to be an early introduction for Season 5’s roster. Fans are curious not only about who will be added but also about the strategic roles these heroes will occupy. Past seasons showed an imbalance favoring Duelists over Vanguards and Strategists, and NetEase seems to be addressing this gap.

NetEase lightly teased Gambit and Rogue as the next Marvel Rivals heroes, signaling fresh gameplay dynamics as Season 4 wraps up and Season 5 approaches.
