Another day, another leak for Marvel Rivals. The free-to-play online shooter, which launched earlier this month, already boasts a roster of 33 playable heroes and villains from across the Marvel universe. But as a live service game, the roster is sure to expand in the coming months and (hopefully) years ahead.
Developer NetEase Games has already promised fans future seasons of the game will bring new characters. And while specific details about the upcoming season have yet to be revealed, new leaks might have revealed some of the possible new characters.
Over on X, user X0X_LEAK posted a list of several upcoming characters for Marvel Rivals. Listed in the leak are Deadpool, Captain Marvel, Emma Frost, Phoenix/Jean Grey, Angela, Hit-Monkey, and Modok. This latest batch follows an earlier leak that suggested Human Torch and The Thing are also set to join the game. In the same thread, X0X_LEAK lists team-ups that mention Storm and Human Torch as well as Wolverine and The Thing. The thread also mentions new maps Krakoa, Arakko, and New York and teases an image of the Season 1 Rank play.
None of this has been confirmed or even teased by developer NetEase so take it with a grain of salt. However, the fact that we now have two leaks that mention Fantastic Four characters at least offers some credibility to these leaks. Not to mention, we even saw what looked like in-game art work for Human Torch.
Marvel Rivals launched earlier this month alongside its month-long inaugural season, Dooms' Rising. We already know Season 1 is set to arrive at some point in January 2025, so it probably won't be long until NetEase starts revealing actual details about the highly anticipated first season. Given that Season 0 is titled Dooms' Rise, it would make sense that a Fantastic Four-themed season would follow it.
Inspired by Doctor Doom and his never-ending quest to unravel the mysteries of time, Season 0 isn't just the beginning, it's the explosive start to innumerable conflicts beyond imagination. Between Doctor Doom and his counterpart from 2099, no one knows who will be the final victor, but everyone knows that the time has come to ignite the battle. 💥
Drawing comparisons to Blizzard's Overwatch, the free-to-play Marvel Rivals is an online team-based PvP shooter featuring fast-paced, 6v6 combat set across maps based on iconic Marvel locations with environmental destruction. The game features an impressive playable cast of characters who hail from all corners of the Marvel universe, including the Avengers, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy. We've yet to have any member of the Fantastic Four join the fray, but judging by these leaks, it probably won't be long now.
Marvel Rivals is free-to-play and available on multiple platforms, including Xbox, Playtation, and PC.
