Exciting times are ahead for Marvel Rivals fans, as rumors swirl about the possible addition of fan-favorite character, Professor X, in future updates. As the first season, “Eternal Night Falls”, wraps up, players are eagerly anticipating the launch of Season 2 on April 11. This season will introduce Vanguard Emma Frost to the diverse lineup of characters, a change that has sparked a lot of excitement among the game’s community.
In a bid to keep things fresh and engaging, NetEase Games has shared plans to release a new hero each month starting with Season 3. They’ve also decided to shorten the seasons from three months to two. This strategic move aims to captivate players by allowing them to step into the shoes of even more beloved Marvel characters more frequently—a change that fans are very enthusiastic about.
Recently, a respected leaker known as X0X_LEAK took to Twitter to share a tantalizing tidbit: Professor X might soon be joining the roster as a playable hero. It seems that files related to the powerful mutant have seen updates, suggesting his imminent arrival. However, it’s unlikely that we’ll see him before the end of Season 2, given that Emma Frost and Ultron have already been confirmed as the next additions.
Rumor has it that Professor X could assume the role of a support hero, capable of healing and enhancing his teammates’ abilities on the battlefield. Fans are particularly excited about this possibility, as there’s been a strong demand for more Vanguards and Strategists, roles that are currently outnumbered by Duelists. This speculation has ignited curiosity about a potential surge of X-Men characters in the future, with some fans even hoping for an all-mutant season.
The leak gains more credibility in light of recent events; a trailer showcasing Marvel Rivals’ new Krakoa map prominently features a statue of Professor X. Scheduled to debut alongside Season 2 on April 11, this map has only fueled speculation and excitement. With so many new developments and updates on the horizon, the Marvel Rivals community has a lot to look forward to, and anticipation is building for what promises to be an exciting chapter for the game.
