Rumor: Marvel Rivals Leak Reveals 5 New Characters

Summary

A recent Marvel Rivals leak revealed five new heroes that could be coming to the game.
Players can expect to see a new character added to the popular hero shooter every month.
The new Giant-Size Brain Blast game mode is scheduled to make its debut on April 25.

A popular Marvel Rivals leaker has revealed that Forge, Amaranth, Hive, Armor, and White Fox could all be coming to the popular hero shooter at some point in the future. Marvel Rivals recently launched Season 2, which added Emma Frost to the game as a Vanguard, allowing her to lead the charge against the enemy team.

While it may seem as if a lot of heroes have been leaked since the game's launch, it's worth noting that NetEase Games has an ambitious release schedule for Marvel Rivals' heroes. Ahead of Season 2: Hellfire Gala, the developers said that they will be shortening future seasons to two months instead of three. However, they intend to continue releasing two characters per season. This means gamers can expect to see a new hero added to the title's ever-expanding roster every single month.

The prominent leaker X0X_LEAK shared multiple posts on Twitter outlining five new characters that have been found within the game's files. While there's no way of knowing when or how these potential heroes could be introduced, it seems as if it's only a matter of time before they make their debut. It's expected that White Fox will be one of Marvel Rivals' Strategists, while Amaranth might join the game's roster as a melee-focused Duelist. According to the leaker, both Hive and Armor will be Vanguards, adding to the title's list of available tanks. It's rumored that the highly-requested X-Men character Forge will be introduced as a Strategist, providing support to his allies while taking the fight to enemies.

According to the leak, it seems as if NetEase Games is focusing on adding more Strategists and Vanguards to Marvel Rivals. Amaranth is the only hero slated to be a Duelist, though that could change at any moment. Many fans have been asking the developers to add more Strategists and Vanguards to the game, as Duelists far outnumber either of the other roles. It's expected that the villain Ultron will make his debut as a Strategist with a major mid-season update in the near future.

Gamers may be excited to learn that a new game mode is coming to Marvel Rivals on April 25. The fresh mode is called Giant-Size Brain Blast, and it gives every hero a bobble-head style makeover. Unlike some previous limited-time modes, the gimmick here is completely aesthetic, as matches will function normally. With a whole new game mode to enjoy and even more content on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.
