Marvel Rivals Season 3 characters leaked
Image via NetEase Games. Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 has raised the bar to new heights with its huge array of content. Be it a new playable character as Ultron or new in-game items like Combat Chest, this mid-season update made every fan happy. However, now it's time to move on to the next chapter in Marvel Rivals as Season 3 in the game is knocking on the door, which is expected to release next month. However, we might have already got the heroes which we can get in the upcoming season in Marvel Rivals. Marvel Rivals Season 3 leaked heroes Before the start of Season 2, NetEase Games confirmed that in the near future the game would follow the 'a new hero every month' model. We saw Emma Frost and Ultron surfacing into the game in Season 2 and Season 2.5 respectively, that means two heroes in two months. However, the 'near future' is here and Season 3 would follow the new formula where we will see a new hero each month taking entry into the game. The developers also confirmed at that time that upcoming seasons (starting from Season 3) will last for two months only, with second months being the mid-season refresh. We are still some days away from Season 3, but might have got the potential characters of the upcoming season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Livguard Lithium-X: The Future of Power Backup Livguard Buy Now Undo Twitch Seems to Have Revealed Upcoming S3 Heroes and Twitch Drops? by u/VeniceArtime in MarvelRivalsLeaks In the r/MarvelRivalsLeaks subreddit, a user named VeniceArtime shared a screenshot of the upcoming Twitch Drops in Season 3.

How to get the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals
Image via NetEase Games. The Season 2.5 update alone has featured a lot of hero skins in Marvel Rivals. Be it the premium skins like Ultron X-Tron, Groot Yggroot, Scarlet Witch Immortal Sovereign, or the free skins like Golden Ultron, Mister Fantastic Future Foundation, the recent mid-season refresh has it all. However, this is not the end as Marvel Rivals has recently launched a skin for our favorite MCU superhero, Moon Knight, as well. Along with it, a skin for Iron Fist has also been released as well. Everything you need to know about the Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin in Marvel Rivals The Moon Knight Phoenix Knight skin has been launched in Marvel Rivals on June 20, 2025 at 2:00 AM UTC. Moon Knight along with Iron Fist marks the fourth set of shop skin after Sunshine Land Shark Jeff the Land Shark, Future Foundation Thing, and many more. Unlike his typical appearance in MCU, the Phoenix Knight skin is quite different. Similar to the Phoenix bird, the whole outfit is themed in flame red and gold. However, this version of Moon Knight might look familiar to the OG Marvel comics fans. In 2018 Avengers #36, in an attempt to obtain all the powers in the universe by the order of Khonsu, Moon Knight acquired Mjolnir and the strength of Iron First to become the Phoenix Force. And the recently released skin reminds us of that version of Moon Knight. Now, how to get this skin? Unlike all the available free skins in Marvel Rivals , you don't need to complete any quests or watch any Twitch streams to redeem this skin. As it's a paid skin, you can directly purchase it from the Store tab in the Main Menu of the game. There you will find the Featured Tab where you should definitely find it and can buy it for 1,400 units. However, if you buy the whole Phoenix Night bundle then you will get the skin as well as an MVP Animation, Emote, Nameplate, and Spray, that too for just 200 Units more.

Release Date & Global Launch Times The Binary Fist and Phoenix Knight skins release on June 19, 2025, at 7:00 PM PDT, available worldwide through the in-game store. No matter where you are located, release will just make it soon after on June 20th: US Eastern Time: 10:00 PM (June 19) UK (BST): 3:00 AM (June 20) Japan/Korea (JST/KST): 11:00 AM (June 20) These come as the fourth wave of Season 2.5 skins behind other sets such as Wolverine's Weapon X and Groot's Yggroot designs. Where to Locate and Buy the Skins Unlocking the new skins is simple, requiring no limited-time events or challenges: Command your forces and save the multiverse from devastation, open Marvel Rivals as soon as the update drops! Access the Store by going to the top center of the home screen. Click on 'Costumes' to filter and view all available skins. Find either Binary Fist (Iron Fist) or Phoenix Knight (Moon Knight). Buy with Units, the game's premium currency. If you don't see the skins right away, try using the hero-specific filter to find them faster. Pricing & Bundles – What to Expect While we don't yet know what official prices will be, we know that other Epic-tier skins in Marvel Rivals have gone for 1,600 to 1,800 Units.

Though skins don't affect gameplay mechanics, their release usually prompts a domino effect in hero popularity. Iron Fist already controls Diamond+ ranks with a 51.72% win rate, and his new futuristic armor would only serve to further pull focus. Moon Knight could use a little shot in the arm. Currently languishing with a paltry 44.60% win rate, the Phoenix Knight skin will at least drive up his pick rate, as players return to their underdog hero to check out his all new fiery hot design. ALL NEW SKINS IN MARVEL RIVALS ARE CRAZY! Why Do These Skins Matter? Beyond just eye-candy aesthetics, these drops serve as a testament to the celebration of uniquely and creatively character reimagining. Both skins are perfect examples of how Marvel Rivals converges the comic book legacy while infusing their own unique style. They're more than just skins—they're a love letter to fans of design, lore, and competitive play. Whether you're already a heavy-hitting Gold-ranked Iron Fist main, or a Moon Knight loyalist just waiting for an excuse to dust him off, those Binary Fist and Phoenix Knight skins are too sweet to miss. With tight designs, anticipated bang-for-your-buck via Units, and zero lock-in barriers, there's hardly an excuse not to jump in headfirst. Save the date for June 19, and prepare to mobilize in style.

Everything revealed regarding the new Ultron themed game mode Marvel Rivals
It's been a flurry of content in Marvel Rivals after the arrival of Season 2.5. The mid-season refresh update has already brought Ultron as a playable character in the game for the first time. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Now, the developers have even unveiled a dedicated Ultron-themed game mode as well. Season 2.5 has already brought the likes of new features like the Combat Chest, along with a variety of free and paid skins, new events, hero balance changes, new hero team-up abilities, and a lot of things. However, a whole new game mode revolving around the new character is the most exciting addition for sure. The all new Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol game mode in Marvel Rivals Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol is purely going to be a strategy-based game mode. | Image via NetEase Games. The newly unveiled game mode in Marvel Rivals is Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol. This is a limited -time game mode as it will run from June 6 to June 23, 2025. Now, this new game mode comes with a twist. Unlike any other game mode in this hero shooting title where players are running around the battlefield for frags and proper usage of their particular abilities, Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol is a lot different. This new game mode is now called by the fans as an auto-battler, where players will be put in a proper tactical grid against their enemies. Yes, it's true that the other game modes in Marvel Rivals seek strategy as well, but Battle Matrix Protocol is all about pure strategy, nothing else. In this single player game mode, a player has to analyse his team and assemble in a strategic formation to battle against the rival. That means, you don't have to be on the field, you need to set your team on the field in an auto-simulated battle. The rewards in this mode are going to be a bit different because once this game mode expires, those rewards are also going to leave from your inventories as well. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, it's still unclear if players will get Chrono Tokens, Lattice or Units via this game mode. In this mode, players have to pick each character for a six-person team, where they have to purchase Modules to modify the team before facing their rivals. Now, after the teams are modified, each character has to be placed strategically on a 6x4 battle grid to face their opponents. So, choosing the right characters and making a suitable team combination, picking up proper Modules, and appropriate strategic placement are the keys to dominate in this game mode. Read More:
