Marvel Rivals Season 5 Introduces Gambit and Rogue

Marvel Rivals Season 5 is set to launch with the addition of Gambit and Rogue, two iconic X-Men characters. The season’s storyline begins with the interruption of their wedding on Krakoa, sparking new battles ahead.

New Characters and Strategic Gameplay

Gambit arrives as the first of the pair, debuting as a much-needed Strategist—a role not seen since Ultron was introduced in Season 2. With only a few Duelists and one Vanguard added since, Gambit's inclusion fills a crucial gap. His abilities include strong healing and an Ultimate that significantly boosts allies, increasing their jump height and damage output.

Season Highlights and Future Teasers

The seasonal trailer also features Cyclops (Scott Summers), the X-Men team leader. While Cyclops is unlikely to join this season, his appearance hints at potential characters for Season 6.

"Gambit is a strategist, the first to be added to the game since Ultron back during Season 2."
"His Ultimate is capable of greatly boosting allies, letting them jump higher and deal more damage at the same time."

Cross-Progression Support

One of the most requested features, cross-progression, will finally be implemented, allowing players to carry over their progress seamlessly across platforms.

Season Start Date

The new season is scheduled to begin in November, kicking off fresh rivalries and gameplay enhancements.

Author's summary: Marvel Rivals Season 5 introduces Gambit as a powerful new Strategist, adds Rogue, and brings cross-progression, marking a significant evolution in gameplay and story.
