Leak Reveals Phoenix and Blade Debuts in Marvel Rivals
CloseIn December 2024, a major Marvel Rivals leak listed Jean Grey/Phoenix as one of the upcoming characters, along with other features that already exist in the game, such as Storm's team-up with Human Torch. The legendary character was mentioned again in subsequent claims, such as the one that teased the additions of Phoenix and Elixir to Marvel Rivals. Blade is another name that players have been waiting for quite some time, mainly due to his appearance in Season 1 when he is captured and imprisoned by Dracula on the Central Park map. More rumors came, pointing to evidence of his potential debut in NetEase's shooter.
Rumors allege that Marvel Rivals Season 3 will begin on July 11 and that Klyntar will be the theme.

It is important to note that this information is speculation and may change until the developers make an official announcement.
