Marvel Rivals' Leaks Reveal Season 1 Adjustments in Power Levels for Characters, Upcoming Hero Unveiling Plan
Although we haven't set an exact launch date yet, we're anticipating Marvel Rivals season 1 to drop next week. Ahead of that, we'll kick off with previews starting tomorrow, featuring the first official trailer. However, we've got some unreliable sources dishing out juicy details about what to expect, not just in the trailer, but about the season as a whole.
From a dependable Marvel Rivals insider, X0XLEAK, we've gathered information on which characters are getting some tweaks. These adjustments include:
- Hela's downgrade
- Hawkeye's downgrade
- Storm's upgrade
- Wolverine's upgrade
- Cloak and Dagger's upgrade
- Captain America's movement enhancement
- Venom's movement enhancement
No specifics are available regarding these changes, just that these are the characters undergoing alterations. Additionally, rumors suggest that two characters will debut at launch, while another two will join mid-season, about a month and a half later. No info on which Fantastic Four members will be the launch and mid-season stars yet. The Thing is rumored to be a Vanguard, Torch a Duelist, Invisible Woman a Strategist. There's a dilemma about whether Mr. Fantastic will be a Vanguard or Strategist, but with the game needing more Strategists, it's common belief that two would be beneficial.
The season's title is "Eternal Night" as the narrative revolves around the Fantastic Four protecting New York, the new map in the game, against Dracula. This seems to pave the way for the leaked Blade, but it's believed he'll join in the next season rather than as one of the five characters for Season 1. There are whispers about Ultron's arrival soon, but no official timing on that either, making it an unlikely addition for Season 1.
More leaks hint at the specific times for trailers, character featurettes, and blog posts detailing nerfs and buffs, but the accuracy of these timings is questionable. The only concrete information is that Rivals will reveal the Season 1 trailer tomorrow, January 6, at 8 AM PST, 11 AM EST. It might not provide information about the above points yet, with only the overall story and an on-screen Fantastic Four action glimpse. But more details should surface soon, including the Season 1 launch day and time.
