Marvel Rivals X-Men Expansion Plans Hint at Iconic Character Additions

Recent data mining efforts have uncovered potential plans for Marvel Rivals to expand its roster with three beloved X-Men characters. According to prominent leaker X0X_LEAK, game files suggest that Gambit, Rogue, and Jubilee might join the hero shooter’s growing cast of playable characters.

The leak indicates specific role assignments for some of these characters, with Gambit reportedly planned as a Duelist and Rogue set to take on a Strategist role. While Jubilee’s potential role remains undefined, community speculation leans toward her fitting into the Duelist category.

These findings emerge as Marvel Rivals progresses through its first season, “Eternal Night Falls,” which features a narrative centered around Dracula’s forces invading New York City and the Fantastic Four’s resistance. NetEase Games has previously announced their commitment to introducing new heroes every six weeks to maintain player engagement.

Additional speculation surrounds the possible inclusion of the X-Mansion as a new location, along with Professor X potentially joining the roster as a Strategist. Cyclops has also been mentioned in recent rumors, though details about his possible role remain unclear.

The game has also teased Blade’s future appearance through official Gallery Card artwork for Season 1, with leakers suggesting he might possess wall-hacking abilities and transformation mechanics.

While these leaks have generated excitement within the community, it’s worth noting that development plans can change during the production process. NetEase Games has yet to make any official announcements regarding these potential additions to the Marvel Rivals roster.
