Following the release of Daredevil and the incredible success of the Marvel Zombies, NetEase is gearing up to launch the highly anticipated Season 5 update for their hero shooter.
While the devs behind Marvel Rivals have yet to officially disclose any details regarding the upcoming major patch, plenty of leaks have surfaced on social media forums over the past few weeks to give us a decent idea of what Marvel Rivals Season 5 will bring to the table.
If you’re a Marvel Rivals fan and looking to know more about the Season 5 release date, leaks, and other details about the next update, we’ve got you covered.
Marvel Rivals Season 5 Release Date
Taking a glance at the ongoing Season 4.5 Battle Pass, we can see that it comes to an end on November 14, 2025. Consequently, it’s safe to assume that the upcoming Marvel Rivals Season 5 update will kick off on the same date.
Note that due to the Season 5 patch being a major update, NetEase will likely take down the servers for a short maintenance before rolling out the update to all players.
Marvel Rivals Season 5 New Hero Leaks
Shortly after the Season 4 update, prominent Marvel Rivals leaker and dataminer ‘X0X_LEAK’ shared a list of six characters that seemed to be in active development at the time. These characters include:
- Professor X
- Gambit
- Elsa Bloodstone
- Colossus
- Locus
- Rogue
However, as the leaker himself mentions, not every character in the game files is guaranteed to make it into the game itself. And since NetEase has remained pretty tight-lipped about the new heroes in the Marvel Rivals Season 5 update, it’s hard to predict exactly what the upcoming season has in store for us.
According to several sources, the next two characters set to join Marvel Rivals in Season 5 are Rogue and Gambit, with the new season’s theme reportedly centered around “love and romance.” Be sure to take this information with a grain of salt, as it remains unconfirmed as of yet.
