Marvel Rivals Teases Rogue and Gambit for Season 5
Two iconic X-Men characters, Rogue and Gambit, may soon join the Marvel Rivals roster, based on a subtle hint from developer NetEase Games. The current Season 4, which began on September 12, introduced Angela and Daredevil to the game.
Unconventional Tease in Patch Notes
On Wednesday, NetEase Games released the latest patch notes with header artwork featuring faint images of Rogue and Gambit. While the studio has not officially announced their arrival, this aligns with late-October leaks suggesting both would appear in a romance-themed Season 5. Season 4 is planned to conclude in November.
Popularity of Rogue and Gambit
Both characters are expected to be well-received additions. Gambit recently regained popularity due to Channing Tatum's portrayal in the 2024 film Deadpool and Wolverine. Rogue remains culturally relevant, especially known as a challenging character in the card game Marvel Snap through multiple years.
“I'll never forgive you, Rogue users.”
Other Updates in the Patch
- The Marvel Zombies event has been extended, now ending on December 5.
- Several fixes to Daredevil's abilities are included in the update.
The full list of patch changes can be found in the official notes released by NetEase Games.
