Summary
- Leaks suggest Emma Frost may join Marvel Rivals, hinted by voice lines from Psylocke and Wolverine.
- Previous leaks pointed to other characters like Professor X and Colossus possibly joining the game.
- While leaks should be taken with caution, the evidence supports Emma Frost's probable inclusion in the next game season.
A Marvel Rivals leak brings new evidence that Emma Frost is on her way to the game. Marvel Rivals was released in December 2024 with 33 heroes among popular heroes and villains from the comic book universe. Since then, NetEase has been expanding the game with some additions, while leaks tease that even more characters will be coming to the shooter.
Previously, a leak indicated that Valkyrie may be added to Marvel Rivals, though there is still no confirmed information on which version of the character the devs will use and what role she will get. Earlier this year, another Marvel Rivals datamine revealed that five other characters will join the game at some point, including Professor X and Colossus. This time another leak has been shared, giving good news regarding a beloved character.
Marvel Rivals Player Makes Surprising Discovery Playing as Venom
A Marvel Rivals player makes a surprising discovery playing as Venom, showing how to change the course of the match under the right circumstances.
The well-known leaker X0XLEAK shared voice lines from Psylocke and Wolverine talking with Emma Frost. In the first line, Wolverine addresses Frost when she takes down the Marvel Rivals' Duelist by saying, “Never really trusted you in the first place, Frost.” In the following interaction, Logan says, “I'll admit, you made that look good, Emma,” when he sees the mutant knocking down an opponent. When Psylocke sees the White Queen knock out an enemy, she says, “As cold-hearted as your name suggests, Frost.”
New Marvel Rivals Leak Sparks Speculation About Emma Frost's Addition
In another leak they shared last year, X0XLEAK found Emma Frost and other characters in the Marvel Rivals launch build, including Deadpool and Jean Grey. They also revealed the existence of team-ups with Magneto, Psylocke, and a third character whose name was not mentioned. Recently, another datamine suggested that the potential theme of Marvel Rivals Season 2 will be the Hellfire Club, a prominent group in X-Men lore of which Emma Frost is a prominent member. Additionally, the leak reinforced the high possibility of Emma joining the roster in the next season of the game.
As always, leaks should be considered with caution, as information always has the chance of changing until an official announcement is made. It's important to note, however, that this isn't the first evidence suggesting Emma Frost's debut in Marvel Rivals. Added to her popularity, the feeling for players is that it's only a matter of time before she finally becomes available. For now, while players wait for more information about Emma Frost, they can play as Human Torch and The Thing, the latest additions to Marvel Rivals following the release of the Season 1.5 update.
