Marvel Rivals' fourth season is already upon us, if you can believe it. The new two-month lengths for seasons in the hero shooter mean the heroes are coming hard and fast.
And if a new leak is to be believed, Vanguard players could be getting some help by way of an Asgardian warrior who could shake up the frontline meta with her superhuman strength, stamina, speed, and prowess with all kinds of weaponry.
This latest leak comes from a Russian Discord server (recapped by YouTuber Dylbobz), so nothing is set in stone, but Thor and Loki's sister Angela could be the first new hero added when season four begins next week on Sept. 12.
Angela has been found within the files numerous times before, including hints to her kit, weaponry, and even voice lines mentioning her. She would be the first new tank added to the game since The Thing earlier this year.
The video mentions that the supposed leaker has seen Angela in action, and she's a towering force of an angelic warrior, wielding a bow or a spear, and also having the ability to take flight similar to Jean Grey.
Angela is a newer Marvel character, first appearing in Image Comics in the early 1990s before officially joining Marvel as part of the Age of Ultron comic book arc back in 2013. In the lore, she is the first daughter of Odin and Freyja/Frigga, meaning that she is the sister to Thor and Loki, but as a child was kidnapped by angels and raised to be one of their warriors.
Angela recently appeared in another NetEase game, Marvel Mystic Mayhem, and her appearance in that title can be seen above. The leaks describe her design in Rivals as one where she is simultaneously armored but showing a lot of skin.
Other reports about season four say that Daredevil will be the next hero to come to the game in season 4.5, likely in early October. Likely a Duelist, this means that Strategist players will have to wait another few months for a new healer character to appear.
We'll know more about season four of Marvel Rivals, Angela included or not, likely as soon as this week ahead of the season's launch in nine days.
