The highly anticipated Marvel Rivals Season 9 update is just around the corner, and fans of the hero shooter are excited to know more about what the new season will bring to the game.
While NetEase has remained pretty tight-lipped about the contents of the upcoming Marvel Rivals Season 9 update so far, we’ve seen plenty of leaks hinting at what the devs might have in store for the players.
In this article, we’ll go through everything you need to know about Marvel Rivals Season 9, including leaks regarding the new heroes coming to the game, its release date, and more.
Marvel Rivals Season 9 Leaks: New Heroes
The clearest hints so far regarding the next set of new heroes come from the final Gallery Card of Marvel Rivals Season 8.5.
The text of the Gallery Card describes a mysterious figure wrapped in “the cloak of Oblivion,” alongside a former foe desperately searching for a cure for her son, even if it means turning her fireworks against her old allies.
Fans didn’t take long to connect these descriptions to The Hood and Jubilee, who are expected to be the new heroes coming to Marvel Rivals with Season 9.
Dataminers have also weighed in, suggesting both characters’ files have been sitting in the game for quite some time now, further adding fuel to the speculations.
As for roles, current leaks point to The Hood slotting in as a Vanguard, while Jubilee is likely to join the roster as a Strategist.
Several reports claim that The Hood will first join the roster of playable heroes with the Marvel Rivals Season 9 update, while Jubilee will be added later on in the mid-season update.
Marvel Rivals Season 9 Release Date
As NetEase has already confirmed, the Marvel Rivals Season 9 update will go live on July 10, 2026.
The devs will shed further light on the new season as we approach closer to its release date.
Alongside the new heroes, fans can also expect a fresh Battle Pass, new events, cosmetics, and a lot more with the upcoming season.
