Marvel Rivals may be adding two iconic X-Men characters to its roster in the upcoming season. Timothy "Timaugustin" Augustin from NetEase Games has hinted at this in a subtle way through the recently released Season 4 patch notes.
Players noticed low-opacity header art featuring Rogue and Gambit in the Season 4 patch notes. These characters were also referenced in Season 4's lore text, strongly implying their arrival is near.
"Rogue and Gambit have been previously teased in Season 4 lore text, suggesting that the arrival of these two heroes is imminent."
Twitter user Badguyjohn shared an edited version of the artwork, giving a clearer look at the two heroes. NetEase appears to draw from classic comic designs, showing Gambit with his signature headpiece and Rogue in her iconic jacket.
Interestingly, Gambit is depicted playing with a D20 dice, a creative twist on his usual playing card-based abilities.
Season 4 in Marvel Rivals, primarily centered around Marvel Zombies content, will conclude as Season 5 launches on November 14, 2025. Fans can expect an official reveal of the new heroes within two days following this date.
"Marvel Rivals Season 4 is set to end on the day Season 5 begins: 14 November, 2025."
Players are advised to stay alert for upcoming announcements from NetEase regarding these additions.
Marvel Rivals is gearing up for an exciting Season 5 by introducing classic X-Men heroes Rogue and Gambit, blending traditional comic aesthetics with fresh gameplay twists.
