Exciting new Marvel Rivals leak confirms Season 3 hero and amazing summer event

As Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 marches on, excitement for Season 3 is building, spurred by a bunch of exciting leaks and rumors. Since its release, NetEase’s fast-paced hero shooter has dropped in player count, and Steam reviews have plummeted to “Mixed”.

Regardless, fans are excited to see what happens next after Season 2.5 introduced Ultron and the Hellfire Gala: Arakko map. Recent leaks hint towards potential new heroes like Blade and Captain Marvel, game modes, and events slated to launch in only two weeks.

The promise of a new season, which will supposedly premiere on July 11, 2025, has sparked speculation about which Marvel icons would join the battlefield and how they will alter team strategies. While some fans want to see characters like Blade or Professor X, others believe cosmic forces will reshape the game’s plot. Now, a leak has surfaced that confirms Season 3 rumors, which have finally revealed the upcoming hero and events in Rivals.

Marvel Rivals Season 3 leaks confirm Phoenix as next hero and Summer Party event coming soon

Marvel Rivals fans are ecstatic following a leak regarding Season 3, which is set to premiere soon. The leak posted by X0X_LEAK suggests the addition of Phoenix, also known as Jean Grey, as well as new game modes, a new map, and a Summer Party event. The info was shared on Discord by an unknown source.

Supporting evidence from dataminers suggests Phoenix will have a blazing ultimate, suiting a reported cosmic theme that may also involve Captain Marvel. With NetEase Games pledging to release a new hero every month, beginning with Season 3, the game’s roster, which debuted with 39 characters, is likely to expand, such as the X-Men and Hit-Monkey.

The omission of Blade, which had previously been datamined for Season 3, has sparked discussion, but the leak promises improved gameplay through Phoenix’s abilities as well as a new map inside the game’s dynamic battlefields and teamwork mechanics.

Further leaks have also revealed that the next season will bring new Symbiote skins for heroes, where some players are stoked to see a Symbiote version of Jeff the Land Shark chomp down on enemies in the battlefield.
