Marvel Rivals Season 3 Details Leak Through Twitch and X
Although NetEase hasn’t officially announced Marvel Rivals Season 3 yet, leaked information from Twitch and X has revealed many key details about the upcoming update.
The new season is titled “The Abyss Awakens” and is expected to start on July 11, 2025. This aligns with the end of the current Battle Pass, making it a highly anticipated date for players.
The Twitch drops revealed alongside this leak mention the two new heroes joining the game: Phoenix (Jean Grey) and Blade.
Players can also look forward to fresh team-ups, stunning Venomized costumes, and sizzling summer events that will bring fresh excitement to the game. These drops will be available between July 11 and August 8 and include cosmetics for other heroes like Magik and Hawkeye.
Meet the New Heroes: Phoenix and Blade
Phoenix, aka Jean Grey, is a powerful mutant with Omega-Level telepathic and telekinetic abilities. Connected to the cosmic Phoenix Force, she can manipulate objects and create powerful force fields, making her a formidable presence on the battlefield.
Lore-wise, she has close ties with the X-Men, especially Storm, and is known for her intense power surges when hosting the Phoenix Force.
It’s expected that Phoenix could have unique multiple forms or an Ultimate ability that activates the Phoenix Force’s full power. Leaks also hint she will have team-up abilities with other X-Men heroes such as Wolverine, Namor, Psylocke, Magik, and Storm, enhancing strategic gameplay.
Blade, on the other hand, is a vampire hunter with a complex backstory. Born half-human and half-vampire, he rejects his vampiric side and uses his martial arts and sword skills to hunt supernatural threats.
Known for his alliances with Doctor Strange, Spider-Man, and The Punisher in the comics, Blade is expected to be a close-range Duelist hero relying on sword combat. Data leaks suggest he may have team-up abilities with these characters as well.
Well, while fans are excited about these new additions, some are worried that both Phoenix and Blade will fill the Duelist/DPS roles. Marvel Rivals already has an abundance of DPS heroes compared to fewer Supports and Tanks, which could lead to an imbalance in quickplay matches.
Despite this, the leaks provide a thrilling glimpse at what to expect from Marvel Rivals Season 3. More official announcements, including trailers and gameplay reveals, are anticipated soon as the July launch date approaches.
