What to expect in Marvel Rivals season 3.5
The star of season 3.5 is definitely Blade, the half-vampire, half-human vampire hunter. He’s waking up from his slumber in Wakanda to bring his signature supernatural combat style to the game. Expect him to combine agility with close-range burst damage, wielding both a sword and a shotgun. That sounds like a pretty cool duelist to add to the mix, right?
Besides Blade, players will get new team-up abilities, a fresh map, some new cosmetics, and limited-time game modes. It’s preparing up to be a solid update that should keep things interesting.
When will Marvel Rivals season 3.5 end?
Unlike earlier seasons, which lasted three months, Season 3.5 will be a mid-season update lasting approximately 28 days. Season 4 is scheduled to begin on September 5, 2025.
The theme for this upcoming season remains undisclosed. But given the MCU’s slate of shows like The Fantastic 4: First Steps, Eyes of Wakanda, and Marvel Zombie, there could be some interesting cosmetics and heroes coming in the next seasons. Could we see more Wakandan-themed content? That’d be neat, wouldn’t it?
So, are you ready to hunt some vampires with Blade? The update is almost here, and it’s going to add some fresh energy to Marvel Rivals. Feel free to share your thoughts and excitement in the comments below.
