Fan-favorite X-Men ’97 Hero Reportedly Headed for Marvel Rivals

The wait is finally over! Season 2.5 update for Marvel Rivals is finally here, and it brings a ton of new content, bug fixes, nerfs, and buffs to the game. Ultron has finally joined the game, but recently, dataminers took his spotlight. It has been discovered that one of the most popular X-Men heroes might join the game soon, leaving fans full of anticipation.

The data that was recently found in the game’s files suggested that Gambit might join the game soon. Not just that, leakers believe Phoenix, Professor X, Rogue, Daredevil, and New Tank would also join the game at some point. We also know that Blade is confirmed to be joining the game’s roster, but it is hard to tell when the character will be added to the game.

recently revealed that some voice lines were discovered in the game’s files that suggested Gambit might join the game at some point. The lines aren’t Gambit’s but are pre-game interactions of other characters with Gambit. The character is quite popular among X-Men fans, but his appearance (played by actor Channing Tatum) in 2024’s Deadpool & Wolverine played a key role in popularising the character among a wider audience.

How can one imagine Gambit without Rogue? The dataminer also found more voice lines suggesting Rogue will join the game soon. It seems like NetEase Games is eager to give fans some new heroes. The same dataminer believes that Phoenix, Professor X, Daredevil, and New Tank will also join the game soon. As of now, fans are excited about Ultron, as there was a lot of anticipation for this Strategist agent.

As always, NetEase has rolled out a bunch of nerfs and buffs to shake up the meta in Marvel Rivals. The update introduced not just Ultron, but also a new Convoy map called Hellfire Gala: Arakko, a new monthly event called Cerebro Database II, and a Combat Chest live event. NetEase also added some new features, such as the Mood System, the Emoji System, and a Recommendation feature.

Everyone is wondering if the season 2.5 update would boost Marvel Rivals‘ popularity, as statistics reveal that the game is slowly losing its fan base. When you compare Marvel Rivals‘ average player count in January 2025 and April 2025 on

, it reveals that there is a roughly 56% drop. At the moment, the game is averaging over 100,000 players a month, but at this rate, this number could reduce significantly by the end of 2025.

New skins, heroes, and maps are great, but the lack of role ****** will always ruin the gaming experience in Marvel Rivals. NetEase has no plans to add such a feature to the game, but it might have to reconsider it, given that Marvel Rivals is losing popularity.
