Marvel Rivals is heating up in 2025. After the explosive success of Season 2.5, which added Ultron, six new Team-Up abilities, and the Arakko map, leaks have now given fans a deep dive into what’s next for the Overwatch-style Marvel shooter.


According to dataminers like X0XLEAK, Matfacio, and Miller Ross, Marvel Rivals Season 3 — expected to launch on July 11, 2025 — will bring monthly hero drops, a massive shift in content cadence, and possibly the debut of a PvE mode.

Let’s break down everything that’s been uncovered so far.


All 25+ Leaked Characters Coming to Marvel Rivals

Here are the characters who’ve been discovered through voice lines, game files, and early in-game teases:

Highly Likely for Season 3:

  • Blade (Duelist): Katana + Shotgun hybrid, vampire transformation ultimate

  • Jean Grey / Phoenix (Duelist): Dual form fighter with psychic and fire-based attacks

  • Professor X (Strategist): Mind control-themed abilities (expected Season 3.5)

  • Cyclops: Multiple optic blasts, “Visor Off” ultimate beam

  • Deadpool: Hit-and-run playstyle with self-healing (referenced in voice lines)

  • Captain Marvel: Aerial mobility and energy attacks


Other Leaked Heroes in Development:

  • Daredevil

  • Gambit

  • Angela (Thor's sister)

  • Nightcrawler

  • Rogue

  • Jubilee

  • MODOK

  • The Hood (maybe Ghost Rider)

  • Hit-Monkey

  • Crystal

  • Beast

  • Colossus

  • Forge

  • White Fox

  • Armor

  • Valkyrie

  • Jia Jing / Sprite

  • Locus

  • Hive

  • Paste Pot Pete (Trapster)

  • Amaranth (Duelist)

  • Quicksilver


Many leaks point to a heavy X-Men presence, with characters like Professor X, Colossus, Gambit, Rogue, and Nightcrawler having ability tables, suggesting they are further along in development.


Leaked Maps in Development

Five brand-new environments have been uncovered through file names and dev build references:

  • Kosmos

  • Loomworld

  • Savage Land

  • Oblitus

  • Mojoworld


New Modes Possibly on the Way

According to leaks, NetEase may be cooking up new game types beyond standard PvP:

  • PvE Missions: Cooperative experiences that explore storylines or seasonal arcs

  • Boss Raid Mode: Rumored endgame-style content with bosses like Knull or Doctor Doom


When Is Marvel Rivals Season 3 Launching?

Based on the Battle Pass timer, Season 3 is expected to begin on July 11, 2025. This update will likely kick off the monthly hero cadence and may introduce some of the new game modes and maps — though content may be spread across the season.


It’s worth remembering that all of this is based on datamines and unofficial leaks. NetEase has not confirmed most of these characters, maps, or modes, so take it all with a grain of salt. Still, dataminers accurately predicted the Fantastic Four, Ultron, and Emma Frost previously, lending credibility to their findings.
