Get ready, heroes, because the rumor mill for Marvel Rivals is churning out some seriously exciting news. It looks like the roster is set to expand in a big way for Season 3. A new, credible leak indicates that the vampire-hunting daywalker, Blade, and the immensely powerful telepath, Phoenix, are the next Marvel Rivals Season 3 characters slated to join the fight. If this pans out, Season 3 could be one of the most hype-filled yet for the new hero shooter.
This intel comes directly from a data miner on X known as @XOX_LEAK, an account that’s quickly building a reputation as a reliable source for Marvel Rivals inside information.
This isn’t just some random post, either. The leaker, @XOX_LEAK, has been tracking this for a bit. Just yesterday, the account shared that they had suspicions about Phoenix’s inclusion but couldn’t lock it down. Now, it seems they’ve unearthed new information, leading them to confidently report that both Blade and Phoenix are on deck for Season 3. For many fans, Blade is a top-tier, most-wanted hero, while Phoenix brings a cosmic-level power that could completely shake up the game’s meta. It’s a killer one-two punch.
What We Know About ‘The Abyss Awaken’ and the New Characters
The upcoming season is reportedly titled “The Abyss Awaken,” and it’s bringing more than just new faces. According to details previously uncovered in the game’s files, it’s believed that both of these new Marvel Rivals Season 3 characters will slot into the Duelist role. This makes perfect sense—Blade with his deadly swords and Phoenix with her raw, destructive power are prime candidates for dishing out heavy damage.
Here’s what the leak suggests for Season 3:
- New Heroes: Blade and Phoenix
- Season Title: The Abyss Awaken
- Rumored Role: Duelist
When Will the New Marvel Rivals Season 3 Characters Arrive?
So, when can we get our hands on them? The official launch date for Season 3 is July 11, but don’t expect to see both heroes drop on day one. Marvel Rivals typically follows a staggered release schedule. One new character is released with the season launch, and the second arrives at the mid-season update.
Unfortunately, @XOX_LEAK doesn’t have confirmed information on which of the Marvel Rivals Season 3 characters will come first. Will we be slicing through enemies with Blade on July 11, or will we be unleashing the cosmic flames of Phoenix? We’ll have to wait and see.
While we hold our breath for an official announcement from NetEase, the evidence for Blade and Phoenix joining the fray is looking stronger than ever. The combination of a fan-favorite brawler and a legendary psychic powerhouse is a fantastic prospect for the game’s future.
