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.

Phasmophobia devs 'don't want to walk into the live service area' with seasonal events, but still have plans to keep the community engaged
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Some brave souls play Phasmophobia all on their lonesome, but that could never be me. I'm more in it for the shared, community-driven haunts, so when I noticed the new Twitch Drop section of the ghost hunting game's UI during a Summer Game Fest demo, I asked the team if they had plans to expand on other community activities, like seasonal events. "I think one of the key things is we don't want to walk into the live service area," said lead social and community manager Tom Dent. "We're very much like, the game is the game, and we have those events to sort of bring our year together. We want to steer clear of that kind of vibe. But also our community is so active, so excited. So to continue to engage them is super important." 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together I talked to Kinetic's CEO and lead developer, Daniel Knight, a little more about that in a follow-up interview. Curious about where they draw the line with online activities and long-term plans, I asked Knight what his vision for supporting Phasmophobia through its 1.0 milestone looks like. They want to keep the haunt going for a while, but there's a limit. "We don't want people to have the expectation that we would carry on forever," said Knight. "We're going to be doing it for the foreseeable future, but we have our own set plan for the game. "We have the roadmap out to 1.0, and that is the main thing as to why we're doing this regular content fix and overhauling everything to get to that [Version 1.0]. After 1.0, we're still gonna be doing content updates, but it won't be overhauling stuff." Knight and the team left the door open for "potentially new ghost types," and additional content like maps, but these big overhauls we're seeing now aren't part of the post-1.0 plan. And while we've seen Kinetic iterate on the online event formula over the years, they seem more focused on perfecting Phas without leaning too hard into its online components. "The game can be played offline, and we don't want to rely on people having an internet connection to play the seasonal events or something, which is why we're trying not to go down that road. I think the three seasonal events we have at the moment is enough of the live service kind of content we have." I do love any ole excuse for more holiday-themed haunts, but respect Kinetic's clear goals and boundaries on where they want to take Phas. They've got a core setup for weekly challenges, three yearly events, and one more online activity through Twitch Drops. I'm a little sad I can't have a possessed Turkey or a demonic Valentine, but it's nice to see a game just happy to have its moment without turning into another always online nightmare.

Phasmophobia events and updates for 2025: Easter, Halloween, and holiday haunts
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The Phasmophobia 2025 roadmap promised Easter, Halloween, and Holiday seasonal events would return this year with feedback implemented from its 2024 celebrations, along with new major patches like the Chronicle update. We've already seen some of that with changes to its Easter event, the Cursed Hollow, which added auto-claim for rewards, more personal goodies, and a map rotation. To keep up with the rest of the year's haunting event schedule, we're always watching and waiting—hoping for a sign from the Blood Moon cult—and plan to record any release date evidence or speculation below. The Phasmophobia Chronicle update launched on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. Chronicle is one of the two major game updates outlined in Kinetic's roadmap for the year, with another "Player Character Overhaul" in the pipeline for later. I had the chance to do a little early ghost hunting myself in a Chronicle update preview, and wound up haunted by some awfully talkative ghosties showing off the game's new sounds. The next Phasmophobia seasonal event should bring back the Blood Moon Cult sometime in October. For now, we only know it begins in its usual spooky month to kick off around Halloween, but we'll keep watching for any confirmed dates. And while they don't count as a seasonal event per se, you can score Phasmophobia Twitch Drops by connecting your Twitch account through the in-game menu. You'll need to watch two hours of Phasmophobia streams on Twitch between June 24 to July 15 to get the special ID card and badge. Ghost Hunters typically don't get much notice before a Phas event begins, but we can at least speculate based on teases and historical hauntings of years past. So far, we've seen the Cursed Hollow in April, but can only speculate on a timeline for the other holidays. We'll keep the usuals, plus any updates or extras like Phasmophobia Twitch Drops, outlined below. Event/Update Dates Cursed Hollow (Easter) April 17 - May 7 Chronicle Update June 24 Chronicle Twitch Drops June 24 - July 15 Halloween October - November Holiday Mid December Aside from those seasonal events, Phasmophobia also has one more major update planned for 2025, simply titled the Player Character Overhaul for now. There's also a rework to Grafton Farmhouse on the way, plus a "new small map" mentioned in the roadmap. Phasmophobia Sound Recorder: Noisy hauntingsPhasmophobia Crucifix: Stop huntsPhasmophobia Ghost types: Scary spiritsPhasmophobia Spirit Box questions: Deadly Q&APhasmophobia Cursed Hollow: Egg hunt There's no going back to collect some old rewards, but keeping track of historic haunts is helping in predicting any upcoming ghost activity. Or it's just a nice way to double-check your trophy cabinet and mourn the empty spaces. 2022 Event dates Easter — April 15 - April 20 Halloween — October 7 - November 4 Holiday — December 14, 2022 - January 9, 2023 2023 Event dates Easter — March 26 - April 9 Halloween — October 26 - November 10 Holiday — December 11, 2023 - January 9, 2024 2024 Event dates Easter — March 26 - April 9 Halloween: Crimson Eye — October 28 - November 17 Holiday: Winter's Jest — December 12 - December 31
