Excitement is brewing among Marvel Rivals fans as rumors surface about the potential inclusion of Professor X in the game. Thanks to a well-known leaker, whispers of his arrival have started circulating, sparking eager anticipation. With the first season, “Eternal Night Falls,” wrapping up, players are geared up for the launch of Season 2 on April 11, which promises the addition of Emma Frost to the game’s growing catalog of heroes—a development that has delighted many.
NetEase Games has shared plans to start rolling out a new hero each month beginning with Season 3. The game’s seasons will also see a change, now set to last two months instead of three. This update aims to keep players constantly engaged, offering them more opportunities to experience the Marvel universe through their favorite characters. Fans are thrilled at the prospect of more regular content and new heroes to explore.
On a recent Twitter post, a dataminer known as X0X_LEAK suggested that Professor X might soon join the hero lineup. This speculation arose after updates to game files hinted at his presence. Despite these exciting clues, the community believes it might be some time before Professor X becomes playable since Emma Frost and Ultron are already on deck to join the fray in Season 2.
There’s buzz that Professor X could enter the game as a support hero, potentially enhancing his team on the battlefield with healing and buffs. Fans have long been wishing for more Vanguards and Strategists to balance the game’s roles against the numerous Duelists. This possibility opens the door to more X-Men characters joining the game, and some are contemplating whether a mutant-centric season might be in the cards.
To add fuel to the speculation, a Professor X statue appeared in the trailer for Marvel Rivals’ upcoming Krakoa map, scheduled for release alongside Season 2 on April 11. With all these updates and additions in the pipeline, players are feeling hopeful about the direction Marvel Rivals is heading.
