Marvel Games and NetEase Games have released all the details regarding Season 2: Hellfire Gala for Marvel Rivals, including new maps and two new characters. The new season begins on April 11 and introduces Emma Frost and Ultron as new playable characters. Lasting three months, Hellfire Gala will be divided into two halves. Emma Frost will release in the first half, while Ultron comes in the second. There will be new maps, special events, and Team-Ups coming as well.
After the intense Eternal Night saga and defeat of Dracula, Emma Frost has prepared a lavish celebration, inviting everyone to don their best attire and venture to the Mutant haven of the Living Island Krakoa for the annual Hellfire Gala. But as we all know, heroes never truly get a peaceful vacation. The uninvited Ultron has crashed the party, and the attending heroes must spring into action to protect Krakoa’s greatest treasure from his grasp.
Emma Frost will be a Vanguard who will be using her telepathic and diamond abilities in battle. She is one of the most powerful characters in Marvel, and it’s going to be cool seeing how she interacts with other heroes and villains during matches. As for the new maps, Krakoa will feature “a grand Hellfire Gala with dreamy botanical landscapes and beautiful fireworks.” For those not familiar with Krakoa in the comics, it is supposed to be a safe haven for mutants, but as we all know, nothing is sacred when it comes to Marvel.
The Marvel Rivals team is implementing weekly missions alongside the existing daily missions and challenges, which will help active players fully claim all rewards from the Battle Pass by the end of the season. Starting from Season 3, Marvel Rivals seasons will shift to a two-month format, with a new hero debuting each month. Additionally, related systems will be adjusted accordingly, and we’ll provide detailed insights before the launch of Season 3.
