The excitement around Marvel Rivals continues to grow, as NetEase seems to hint at new additions to the hero roster almost every week. This time, sharp-eyed fans noticed a teaser hidden in the latest patch notes background.
Players have spotted two familiar faces from the X-Men universe—Gambit and Rogue—appearing subtly in the hero image for version 2025/11/06. Although they are not officially listed in the patch notes, the background visuals strongly suggest their arrival.
“Gambit and Rogue first look. New heroes coming to Rivals Season 5 was spotted by @mmmmmmmmiller in the patch notes background, and thanks to @badguyjohn they've made a clearer version.”
The discovery was shared widely on social media, sparking discussions and speculation among the community. Many fans appreciated the clever way the developers teased these characters, rather than announcing them outright.
Marvel Rivals Season 4 is nearing its conclusion on November 14, 2025. With the next season approaching, the timing appears perfect for a soft launch of new heroes. However, one lingering question remains—what roles will Gambit and Rogue take within the game’s class system?
NetEase has been gradually adjusting its balance of hero types, working to close the gap between Duelists, Vanguards, and Strategists over the past four seasons. The addition of the X-Men duo may further refine this equilibrium.
Gambit and Rogue have been quietly teased for Marvel Rivals Season 5, exciting fans as NetEase continues balancing the roster while closing Season 4.
