Emma Frost had been heavily rumoured for Marvel Rivals for a while, and with Season 2 incoming, NetEase has officially revealed her and the season’s new villain Ultron.
Check this out:
Here’s the official description for the season launch:
It’s the most glamorous night of the year, darling – Emma Frost herself invites you to the Hellfire Gala on Krakoa! Once a year, this sovereign Mutant island opens its gates, welcoming both friend and rival alike to shape a brighter future. Now stranded in the year 2099 by a raging temporal storm, the fate of Krakoa hangs in the balance, its ecosystem suffering from dangerous chronal energy.
Can a night of glittering festivities bring unity over fine dining and dazzling conversation? Who among the attendees possesses ulterior motives or solely seeks to party? And who is the uninvited guest?
Dress your best, step through the gates, and join us for an unforgettable evening of elegance, intrigue, and power.
While no official skills breakdown has been made for Emma Frost, rumor has it that she’s going to be a tank; and her design kind of evokes her being pretty sturdy seeing that the devs gave her massive thighs.
As for Ultron, he’s been teased for a while now, and it’s been revealed that he’s going to be a Strategist in the game, making use of multiple drones to help heal and attack.
Though it may not be the X-Mansion, Krakoa is still a pretty neat location in the Marvel Universe, and should merit its own map. We don’t know when NetEase is going to reveal more for the upcoming season, but we’ll likely have a good look at all the incoming content once it launches in the next few days.
Season 2 for Marvel Rivals starts on April 11. The game is now playable for Xbox Series X|S, PS5, and PC.
