A well-known Marvel Rivals source recently hinted that Daredevil might soon make an appearance in the beloved hero shooter. Just in time, NetEase Games has confirmed the launch of Season 2: Hellfire Gala, scheduled for April 11, where fans can look forward to seeing Emma Frost as a Vanguard, with Ultron joining the fray in the Season 2.5 update.
There’s a buzz of excitement around upcoming characters. Luckily for fans, the wait won’t be too long. NetEase Games will roll out shorter seasons beginning with Season 3. From then on, each season will last two months, delivering two heroes every round. What this means for players is more frequent updates, introducing fresh heroes and maps. Plus, gamers can expect more frequent balance tweaks that will undoubtedly shake up the game’s competitive scene.
Recently, popular dataminer X0X_Leak took to Twitter to announce finding new files suggesting that Daredevil is on his way to Marvel Rivals. Some speculate his enhanced senses might enable players to track enemies through walls—a skill that was also rumored for Blade, though his entry remains uncertain.
Fans have different opinions on the role Daredevil might play. While some think he could bring a fresh vibe as a Vanguard, others hope to see him shine as a fearsome Duelist. With mobility akin to Spider-Man, he could excel in melee combat, with some envisioning him as a pure melee brawler utilizing his boxing and martial arts prowess.
Furthermore, X0X_Leak mentioned updates to Professor X’s files, suggesting he might be coming sooner than anticipated. As per the leaks, this powerful mutant will serve as a Strategist, aiding teammates with healing and buffs while also dealing damage.
While these rumors should be taken with caution, many fans are eagerly anticipating these additions, especially with Professor X already featuring prominently on the new Krakoa map. With the new season approaching on April 11 and Ultron set to follow, the future of Marvel Rivals looks promising and filled with excitement.
