Marvel Rivals May Have Quietly Teased a Season 3 Hero

Marvel Rivals Season 2 introduced the new Hellfire: Krakoa map which contains an Easter egg that hints at a fan-favorite character.

Marvel Rivals leaker XoXLEAK recently shared a post on Twitter claiming Ultron will get a new ability while teaming up with other characters. This rumored team-up would boost Ultron's drones, giving them more damage. It's speculated that Ultron will be able to team up with Iron Man specifically, which makes sense considering the two characters' history. Team-up abilities are crucial in Marvel Rivals, encouraging players to work together. Characters like Doctor Strange can pair with Scarlet Witch for extra health, with Captain America and Winter Soldier receiving buffed health and a new ability.

Marvel Rivals Leak Points to Ultron Getting Extra Team-up Ability

Ultron's kit is subject to speculation, as few details are known for certain. Ultron is confirmed to be a Strategist, which might seem odd at first, but may actually make sense and marks an exciting turning point for Marvel Rivals. Up until now, Marvel Rivals' list of Strategists has featured bright and colorful characters, most of whom are "good guys." Ultron is far different, being a cold and calculated robot.

Ultron will drop in Marvel Rivals as part of the game's Season 2.5 update, coming a few weeks after Season 2 officially kicked off. Just like Season 1, Season 2 of Marvel Rivals has been action-packed, seeing new modes and characters added. Emma Frost made her Marvel Rivals debut back when the game's second season launched, with Ultron being the other confirmed character to join the roster. Marvel Rivals' Season 2.5 update is expected to release near the end of May, marking another exciting chapter for one of today's hottest games.
