As spring arrives, the second season of Marvel Rivals is set to introduce a chill with the addition of Emma Frost to the character lineup, alongside Ultron.
This afternoon’s fresh trailer provided a sneak peek at the storyline, featuring Emma Frost inviting both humans and mutants to the Hellfire Gala on Krakoa, the living island that forms the backdrop of their adventures. In comic lore, Krakoa meets its demise during the third Hellfire Gala, hinting at potential developments in this upcoming season.
Ultron soon crashes the celebration, unleashing an army of robots and proclaiming his intent to “exterminate man and mutant alike.” Amid the skirmish, we catch glimpses of new skins for characters like Storm, Magneto, and Cloak and Dagger, showcasing their stylish party outfits.
The launch of season two is set for April 11. Similar to the Fantastic Four, introduced earlier this year in the game’s inaugural season, both Ultron and Emma Frost are anticipated to be available at no cost. However, players may need to purchase the latest skins. It will be interesting to see how these newcomers impact the existing Marvel Rivals characters tier list.
Emma Frost is poised to resonate with die-hard fans of Marvel Rivals, particularly after the recent popularity of Venom’s playful new emote. For those curious about how to make the symbiote twerk, we have a detailed guide available.
