Marvel Rivals Season 2: Hellfire Gala Starts Next Week

2 weeks ago 4

After surviving the endless night in New York City with the Fantastic Four, Marvel Rivals players are getting invited to the shores of Krakoa for the start of season 2 on April 11. The game dropped the first trailer for the new season, giving us our first official look at the new heroes. 

The trailer features the former foe and sometimes leader of the X-Men, Emma Frost, inviting people from across Rivals' various timelines to the mutant nation of Krakoa, where everyone gets dressed up for a fancy gala -- even Wolverine puts on a white tux. The event, however, is unceremoniously interrupted when Ultron shows up preaching extermination.

Frost and Ultron are the two new heroes for the season -- remember that the devs said season 1 was a supersized outlier, so we're only expecting two heroes each season going forward. No word on where Blade is. Maybe he'll show up whenever his movie comes out...

We also got a look at some of the cosmetics in season 2, though it's unclear which are from the shop and which might be in the battle pass. In addition to the dressed-up Wolverine, we also got looks at Magik and Psylocke in the traditional X-Men blue and yellow. Nonmutant guests are also getting in on the fun, with fancy attire for heroes like Cap, Widow and Luna Snow.

The trailer says season 2 will start on April 11, UTC. While it doesn't give a specific start time, expect the between-seasons maintenance to finish sometime in the middle of the night in the US.
