As the highly anticipated Season 1 of *Marvel Rivals* approaches, players are buzzing with excitement as new content is set to launch. This thrilling new addition to the gaming world has already attracted over 300,000 concurrent players nightly on Steam, making it a top contender in the gaming community. With the upcoming season, fans can expect a treasure trove of new content to enhance their gaming experience.

Thanks to datamining efforts from the user known as X0X_Leak, we have an insightful look at what’s to come in terms of characters, team-ups, and maps.

New Characters Joining the Fray:

Angela

Hit-Monkey

Deadpool

Captain Marvel

Emma Frost

Phoenix (Jean Grey)

Valkyrie

MODOK

These heroes and anti-heroes will join a previously leaked lineup that includes fan favorites like Mr. Fantastic, Human Torch, The Invisible Woman, and Blade—bringing the total number of new characters to an impressive 13 for the game's roster, which currently stands at 33. While we don’t know their exact release schedule, it's likely we’ll see multiple new characters introduced per season, which could shake up the competitive landscape of *Rivals*.

Team-Up Mechanics: A New Dimension to Gameplay:

The game isn't just introducing standalone characters; it will also feature exciting character team-ups that encourage players to strategize and use their heroes effectively. Look out for these dynamic duos:

Squirrel Girl and Rocket Raccoon

Storm and Human Torch

The formidable Wolverine paired with The Thing and The Hulk

Wolverine teaming up with Phoenix

A potential group that includes Wolverine, Magik, Psylocke, and Black Panther

Blade alongside Cloak, Dagger, and Moon Knight

Emma Frost with Magneto and Psylocke

New Maps for Unforgettable Adventures:

Rounding out this highly anticipated update are three fresh maps:

The mystical land of Krakoa

The world of Arakko

The bustling streets of New York

With a roadmap suggesting three-month-long seasons, it appears that NetEase has meticulously planned the year ahead, potentially introducing three or more new characters each season along with a new map. This pace is notably quicker than the typical process seen in hero shooter games, raising questions about sustainability. Regardless, fans can expect an exhilarating influx of content designed to keep them engaged over time.

Additionally, a myriad of iconic characters remains unreleased, adding to the excitement. Among those speculated for future inclusion are Falcon (and/or Sam Wilson as Captain America), Miles Morales, Cyclops, Rogue, and even major villains like Thanos. The potential for new heroes and narratives seems endless, and considering the current success of *Marvel Rivals*, it's likely we will see these beloved characters make their appearances across future seasons.

Stay tuned for more updates on *Marvel Rivals* as the community eagerly awaits each new reveal. This is just the beginning of an epic journey!
