'Marvel Rivals', the team-based action game from NetEase, is all set to return with its Season 2 on April 11, 2025, and fans have a lot to be excited about. According to a new trailer released earlier today, one of the most highly requested characters, Emma Frost, is officially joining the game. The announcement has already sparked buzz across the gaming and Marvel fan communities.
In the trailer, viewers get a first look at Emma Frost, a powerful member of the X-Men. Her arrival will tie into the Hellfire Gala, which will be the main theme of the season’s first in-game event. The event will take place in Krakoa, the fictional mutant nation in the Marvel Universe, and Emma is seen inviting players to join the celebration that happens just once a year.
The festivities, however, don’t stay peaceful for long. The trailer reveals that Ultron, another major Marvel character, crashes the party along with his army of drones. What begins as a grand celebration soon turns into a battle for survival as mutants and other heroes try to push back against the attack.

While NetEase hasn’t shared all the details about gameplay changes in Season 2, they have confirmed the roles that both Emma Frost and Ultron will play. Emma Frost will be a Vanguard, a character class known for powerful telepathic abilities. On the other hand, Ultron is described as a strategist, with a focus on healing teammates, though it’s still unclear if he will be fully playable or part of the storyline.
The second season will also include a new season pass, offering both free and paid tiers with exclusive rewards. Players will be able to unlock characters, cosmetic items, and possibly in-game currency through the season pass as they progress.
Season 1 of Marvel Rivals is scheduled to end on April 11, just before the launch of Season 2. Throughout the first season, there were many rumors that Emma Frost might become a playable character in the future. Now that the speculation has been confirmed, fans are even more eager to see what other surprises Season 2 might bring.
With new characters, special events, and exciting battles, Season 2 of Marvel Rivals promises to take the game to a whole new level.
