Someone at NetEase Games probably just said to themselves "Woo, I'm about to make a name for myself here" after spilling the beans on Marvel Rivals' next two heroes.
Season five of the hero shooter is set to arrive next week, so an official confirmation is likely coming imminently, but a new post highlighting patch notes for a bug fix update today indicates X-Men members Gambit and Rogue will be the next two playable characters to join the roster.
In the background of the patch notes, we get a hazy look at the mutants and lovers who have been teased in the lore for a while. Miller Ross was one of the first to post about the discovery, and others were quick to tweak the images to show a clearer look, and their designs are pretty spot-on.
The full reveal for season five is likely coming today or tomorrow, if previous seasons are anything to go by. A trailer will probably be followed by a character reveal for whichever X-Men is available at launch, while the other will join midseason some time in December.
This rollout will give time for content creators to play and showcase the new season, as NetEase has allowed them to do since the game launched last year, so the next few days will be full of reveals and info on the new season.
According to leaks, Gambit will be a Duelist while Rogue will be a Strategist. In the comics, Gambit is able to charge items up with energy, and he commonly uses a staff as well as charged-up throwing cards to deal his attacks. Rogue, meanwhile, has the ability absorb powers, memories, and life force of anyone through touching them, which could make for a very unique kit.
Marvel Rivals' season five begins on Nov. 14, so get ready for the official news to begin flowing.
