Marvel Rivals has kept building its momentum since its launch in December 2024, with both its core lineup and competitive scene steadily evolving. Some fresh leaks surfaced recently from dataminers who uncovered five possible new heroes within the game’s files. Though, none of these additions are headline-grabbing names, they add an interesting mix to the roster for players to watch out for.
Five New Heroes Spotted in Marvel Rivals Files
The leak originated from a social media post by XOXLEAK, a known figure in the Marvel Rivals community, who shared a detailed breakdown of what was found inside the game’s data. According to this report, five new heroes have been added with their corresponding abilities listed. However, we should remember that datamines are never set in stone and may change or even be scrapped before reaching players.

The new characters reportedly include:
- Hive (Tank)
- Armor (Tank)
- Amaranth (DPS)
- White Fox (Support)
- Forge (Support)
The reaction among fans has been mixed. Most aren’t exactly excited because these heroes don’t carry much mainstream recognition—even die-hard Marvel players might need a refresher on who they actually are.
A quick rundown:
- Hive: A monstrous creation by HYDRA, usually depicted as a terrifying bio-weapon rather than a traditional hero.
- Armor: A Japanese mutant with psionic powers capable of generating an impenetrable force field around herself.
- Amaranth: A magic user trained by Scarlet Witch; she only gained notable attention starting in 2024 through comics and related media.
- White Fox: A Korean shapeshifter endowed with supernatural abilities tied to her heritage.
- Forge: Known more as an ingenious inventor and engineer whose intelligence is his greatest weapon.
XOXLEAK also mentioned other upcoming content such as future team-ups and store updates alongside various adjustments planned for the game. It’s important to treat all this info carefully since nothing has been officially confirmed yet—it’s all based on datamining efforts that can easily change or disappear entirely before release.
