Guangzhou, China and Los Angeles, California, United States, April 3, 2025 – Today, Marvel Games and NetEase Games have unveiled full details for Season 2: Hellfire Gala for Marvel Rivals, the award-winning and critically-acclaimed Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse. The game’s highly-anticipated second season kicks off on April 11 and will introduce Emma Frost and Ultron as new playable heroes. The three month long Hellfire Gala season will be divided into two halves with Emma Frost releasing in the first half and Ultron in the second half. Season 2 will also feature two new maps, special events and new Team-Ups.

The full details on new characters, maps and features for Season 2 in Marvel Rivals are below and in the latest episode of Dev Vision.

After the intense Eternal Night saga and defeat of Dracula, Emma Frost has prepared a lavish celebration, inviting everyone to don their best attire and venture to the Mutant haven of the Living Island Krakoa for the annual Hellfire Gala. But as we all know, heroes never truly get a peaceful vacation. The uninvited Ultron has crashed the party, and the attending heroes must spring into action to protect Krakoa's greatest treasure from his grasp.

Emma Frost (Vanguard) - A master of telepathy and a shining diamond on the battlefield! Emma Frost can adeptly utilize her telepathic and diamond abilities as the situation demands, standing at the forefront to shield her allies and obliterate her foes.

The first new map, HELLFIRE GALA: KRAKOA, will feature a grand Hellfire Gala with dreamy botanical landscapes and beautiful fireworks. Season 2 will also introduce the first adjustments to Team-Up Abilities, welcoming new Team-Ups while tweaking or removing some existing ones. The Marvel Rivals team is implementing weekly missions alongside the existing daily missions and challenges, which will help active players fully claim all rewards from the Battle Pass by the end of the season. Starting from Season 3, Marvel Rivals seasons will shift to a two-month format, with a new hero debuting each month. Additionally, related systems will be adjusted accordingly, and we'll provide detailed insights before the launch of Season 3.
