Marvel's Season 3 unveils new characters Blade and Phoenix, yet requiring a resolution to the existing balance problem.
Get ready, Marvel Rivals fans! The much-anticipated Season 3 of the popular game is set to launch on July 11, 2025, bringing a host of exciting changes, new characters, and cosmetic content.
Firstly, the balance changes for Thor in Marvel Rivals are noteworthy. Players can now manually cancel the awakened state of Thor's Awakening Rune after a brief delay, a significant quality of life upgrade that fundamentally changes how Thor plays and enhances his gameplay experience [1]. Additionally, bug fixes have been applied to address issues caused by high latency that affected Thor's Thorforce ability, which previously behaved erratically and caused abilities to be canceled [2][5].
As for the swimsuit lineup, while there is no specific release date or details available yet, it is expected to be part of the new skins and customization options rolling out with Season 3 [2][3]. The upcoming season is set to introduce new characters, including Phoenix (Jean Grey) as the first playable character, and highly anticipated outfits like Jeff the Landshark's venomized skin [3].
Marvel Rivals continues to expand its ever-growing cast of characters, featuring fan favourites like Iron Man, Captain America, Sue Storm, and more. The Battle Pass will include symbiote skins for multiple characters, including Jeff the Land Shark, Rocket Raccoon, and Squirrel Girl [6].
The new seasons in Marvel Rivals will be shortened to two months, resulting in a new playable character every month. Weekly challenges will no longer expire, allowing players to earn more potential tokens [7]. The Battle Pass will still have 10 outfits, and players will earn Chrono Tokens faster [8].
In addition, the lobby background in Marvel Rivals will now display a unique skin that's equipped, adding more flavour to pre-game matches. The game is available for free on Xbox, Steam, and PlayStation [9].
Prepare for unexpected team-ups in Marvel Rivals, as Knull and Hela are teaming up in Season 3 to cause chaos and death. The developers have not published the full patch notes for Season 3, and there is no mention of Thor in the highlights [4].
Lastly, Marvel Rivals is referred to as the ultimate Marvel playground, where players can dominate the multiversal battlefield and team up with their favourite Marvel characters [10]. With the upcoming season, there's never been a better time to jump into the action-packed world of Marvel Rivals!
