Season 3 of Marvel Rivals kicked off in July, introducing Jean Grey, aka Phoenix, and Blade to the game's ever-expanding roster. With their additions, the cast of playable characters now stands at 41, but more could be on the way soon.
Newly leaked dialogue from the game has been unearthed, revealing that Deadpool and Daredevil may be coming to Marvel Rivals down the line. Prominent leaker X0XLEAK shared the dialogue compilation videos for both characters on social media.
Neither character has been confirmed by NetEase, but X0XLEAK has a pretty good track record when it comes to sharing information about the game that has yet to be officially revealed.
Deadpool was one of seven characters leaked for Marvel Rivals earlier this year by X0XLeak, along with Angela, Hit-Monkey, Captain Marvel, Emma Frost, Phoenix/Jean Grey, and MODOK. With both Emma Frost and Phoenix now officially added to the roster, the leak is looking more credible, especially for Deadpool. The discovery of recorded voicelines only strengthens the likelihood that the Merc with a Mouth will make his way into the game.
Voice interactions with Daredevil were also shared online, although this is the first time we're hearing of him.
Marvel Rivals was released in December 2024 with 33 playable characters at launch. The game was met with incredible enthusiasm, with praise for its aesthetic and gameplay. Although the core concept of the hero team-up shooter borrows heavily from Overwatch, the polished gameplay and "team-up" mechanics have helped it stand out in a crowded space.
Now approaching its one-year anniversary, Marvel Rivals remains popular and continues to receive post-launch support. Season 3, titled "The Abyss Awakens," kicked off on July 11th, introducing Phoenix as a duelist hero, as well as the map, Klyntar: Celestial Husk.
Season 3 also marked the game's shift to two-month cycles, with each season being split into two halves. The first half of Season 3 ran until August 8th, while the second half will run until September 12th.
With just a few weeks to go until the start of Season 4, we should start to get more information, including possible details about the next incoming heroes. Until then, we'll continue to keep a lookout for any information we learn about the possibility of Deadpool and Daredevil coming to Marvel Rivals.
