Marvel Rivals continues to add new playable characters at a rapid pace with the latest additions begin Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four. Later this season, we'll also be getting Thing and Human Torch.
Developer NetEase has previously promised to release a new playable hero every six weeks, and while they haven't revealed any specific characters, leaks have given us a good sense of who to expect. Reputable leaker X0XLeak has confirmed five new X-Men characters are set to join the game at some point in the future: Gambit, Rogue, Nightcrawler, Jubilee, and Beast.
According to the insider, Gambit and Nightcrawler will be classified as Duelists, while Rogue will be a Strategist. Jubilee and Beast are still unknown.
These latest reveals bring the total number of leaked X-Men characters to 10. Other previously leaked characters include Professor X, Colossus, Cyclops, Emma Forst, and Phoenix (Jean Grey).
It's unclear where the information about these characters came from, so for now take this list with a grain of salt. For all we know, these could be on the roadmap but months or even years from now.
Marvel Rivals currently features 35 playable characters drawn from across the Marvel Universe. Of the currently available characters, X-Men include Wolverine, Storm, Magneto, Psylocke, and Magik. The game also features heroes from the Guardians of the Galaxy, Avengers, and now Fantastic Four.
Released in December, Marvel Rivals reached 10 million players worldwide within 72 hours of its launch. It surpassed 20 million players by mid-December and has only continued to grow in popularity.
Marvel Rivals is a free-to-play game, but does feature in-game microtransactions in the form of cosmetics and character costumes. One of the bright spots about the game is the ability to play as any of the available characters right out of the game, no need to pay or grind to unlock them. Every current and future character will remain accessible immediately.
