Marvel Rivals season 3.5 is set to arrive with a host of exciting new content, but one major highlight has already been confirmed by the developer, which is the addition of a new playable hero: Blade. The half-vampire, half-human Daywalker is bringing his signature style of supernatural combat to the battlefield, likely combining agility and close-range burst damage. He’s reportedly coming with a shotgun and sword, which should add another duelist to the game.

Apart from that, players should have access to new team-up abilities, cosmetics, a map, and even a few fresh cosmetics and limited-time game modes to keep the party rolling.

As for the seasonal theme, it is still under wraps, and players should get more clarity as we move closer to the release date. Based on MCU’s upcoming shows this year, after The Fantastic 4: First Steps release, Eyes of Wakanda and Marvel Zombie releases, which could also bring a variety of cosmetics and new heroes in the next seasons.
