Marvel fans, gather around, there’s something new coming through. A recent leak suggests that Marvel Rivals is about to get even more bustling with characters. With six new heroes on the horizon, including five beloved X-Men, it feels like Christmas has come early for comic book aficionados and gamers alike.
The whispers of these new additions come from a reliable source, XOXLEAK. So far, we can expect to see:
- Gambit – Duelist
- Rogue – Strategist
- Jubilee – Unknown role
- Beast – Unknown role
- Nighcrawler – Duelist
- The Hood – Vanguard
This brings us to a total of 22 leaked characters, quite the impressive lineup considering the game hasn’t been out long. It’s quite astonishing when you think about it; this could mean we’ll have almost three years’ worth of content potentially mapped out already!
The current leaks not only include our newly revealed heroes but also other notable figures who have yet to grace our screens:
- Cyclops
- Professor X
- Colossus
- Jia Jing
- Locus
- Paste-Pot Pete (yes, really!)
- Angela
- Hit-Monkey
- Deadpool
- Captain Marvel
- Emma Frost
- Phoenix/Jean Grey
- Valkyrie
- MODOK
- Ultron
- Blade
I mean, can you imagine how chaotic things might get? The character diversity here is promising and could lead to unique strategies and gameplay styles. But will NetEase manage to keep everything balanced? That’s a question I ponder as I look at all these exciting potential additions.
The thought that many of these characters are nearing playable status makes me butterflies, especially when thinking about the tactics players might employ. While some may be part of story elements without direct playability, many seem too intriguing not to be included in battles. It would be delightful if they could balance such a vast roster while keeping players engaged and challenged.
