As Season 4 of Marvel Rivals nears its conclusion, NetEase has started to quietly hint at the next batch of playable heroes for Season 5. The multiplayer hero shooter has had a busy month following a successful seasonal event and is gearing up for the new season launch later this month.
The introduction of a PvE Zombies mode has increased player activity over the last month. Alongside this, the Voyage to Astonish event allowed players to earn free rewards and a special MCU skin for Blade, further supporting the game's rising popularity.
NetEase subtly revealed the upcoming characters through a nearly hidden image update. Gamer Miller Ross was among the first to spot Gambit and Rogue, iconic Marvel X-Men figures, suggesting they will be playable in Season 5.
"In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reveal, NetEase sneakily added the characters to the background thumbnail image of the November 6 patch notes on the official website."
The pair blend into the yellow-themed background, making the teaser easy to overlook but highly anticipated by fans.
Marvel Rivals is preparing an exciting new season featuring classic X-Men heroes Gambit and Rogue, following a spike in player engagement driven by fresh content and special events.
