The excitement around Marvel Rivals continues to build as new heroes are hinted at frequently. NetEase appears to reveal new characters regularly, keeping fans eager for the latest additions.
Two new X-Men, Gambit and Rogue, have been subtly shown in the background of the latest update's hero image for version 2025/11/06. While not explicitly listed in the patch notes, their presence is clear upon close examination of Marvel Rivals' home news page.

With Season 4 concluding on November 14, 2025, it's an ideal moment for NetEase to introduce new characters gradually. The focus now shifts to what roles Gambit and Rogue will play in the game's lineup.
Previously, the roster had more Duelists than Vanguards and Strategists, and NetEase has been working towards balancing these roles over the last four seasons.
