Original story:
Marvel Rivals already has one of the best rosters of any hero shooter because it’s comprised of Earth’s greatest superheroes including the likes of Spider-Man, Captain America, The Guardians of the Galaxy, and Iron Man. While the gallery of heroes is already great, more will be added through future seasons. A Marvel Rivals leak has unearthed a new character while teasing another “big” reveal for fans to keep an eye on.
There is a lot to anticipate for the near future of NetEase’s multiplayer experience. Per the 2025 roadmap, Season 1 is set to start in “early January,” and the developer has confirmed Season 1 will provide a solution to mouse acceleration issues. Before Season 1 launches, you can check stats online to see who the most and least popular characters are right now, and it will be interesting to see how the statistics and leaderboards change as the game continues to grow.
A lot of future characters have already leaked for Marvel Rivals, and the developers have admitted that datamining is pretty much impossible to stop. This means leaks will continue to surface, and now there are reports that another character from the Thor movies will eventually make their way to the battlefield.
Marvel Rivals leak reveals new character Valkyrie
According to leaker, X0X_LEAK, Valkyrie is coming to Marvel Rivals. There’s no mention of when she will arrive, but she is another Asgardian leaked for the future alongside Angela.
For fans of the MCU, Valkyrie made her first appearance in Thor Ragnarok, and she was portrayed in the movies by actress Tessa Thompson. She was a decent enough character in the films, and it will be interesting to see if the game’s portrayal is based on Tessa Thompson from the movies or earlier comic book iterations where she had long blonde hair.
Below is a list of characters currently leaked for Marvel Rivals:
- The Thing
- Mr Fantastic
- Invisible Woman
- Emma Frost
- Blade
- Jean Grey/Phoenix
- Deadpool
- Angela
- Valkyrie
- Hit-Monkey
- Modok
- Human Torch
- Ultron
Not everything about the upcoming heroes has leaked, but RivalsLeaks has revealed the abilities for both the Human Torch and Ultron.
In addition to Valkyrie, X0X_LEAK has teased the reveal of another “big” hero coming to Marvel Rivals. They posted on December 29th that the reveal will happen “tomorrow,” so we expect it to occur sometime on December 30th. We will update this article when the leak materializes.
Remember that these are only leaks rather anything official. Plans can always change and some heroes might not debut as expected.
