Marvel Rivals Announces Rogue and Gambit as Upcoming Heroes

Rogue and Gambit are confirmed as the next playable heroes in Marvel Rivals. The popular X-Men couple will debut in the game's upcoming fifth season, promising exciting new content for players.

Season 5: Live is a Battlefield

The previous Season 4 was slightly extended by NetEase Games before transitioning.

Upcoming Mutant Tease

Alongside Rogue and Gambit, another mutant hero is hinted to join the game soon, though details remain under wraps.
