However, despite the fact that we’ve only just settled into Season 2, the Marvel Rivals leakers haven’t taken a break, with one discovering five new characters that are likely to come to the game soon.

Five new characters coming to Marvel Rivals according to leak

As revealed on Xby renowned leaker X0XLeak, five new characters have been found for Marvel Rivals.

These are:

Armor will be a Tank focusing on melee, according to the leak, likely making her a Vanguard, which fits well considering her ability to make full-body armor thanks to her psionic powers.

Hive will be the same, using his Hydra-style mutation to take down enemies. Though he’s a supervillain, so maybe he’ll be the focus of an upcoming season?

White Fox will be a melee support character, making her a likely Strategist. Though how she’ll use her claws and melee fighting to heal is yet to be seen. Then, Forge will also likely follow the Strategist route, being listed as a Support, but fighting with his Ray instead.

Lastly, Amaranth (no, not the streamer) will be a Duelist focusing on melee damage, likely using her spells to destroy anyone she can see. She’s also a former apprentice of the Scarlet Witch and a creation of the entities Witchcraft and Chaos, so we may see the Darkhold making a return.

Naturally, these are purely leaks, and ashighlighted by the leaker, “None of these newly found characters look as fleshed out and ready as the characters we said we’re in the ‘waiting room’ 2 weeks ago” so it’s likely we won’t be seeing these characters for a long while. In fact, they’re currently numbers 67 – 71 in the list. If that’s in regard to the number of characters, we have a while to wait.
