Marvel Rivals Season 2 launches April 11, 2025, with Emma Frost, Ultron, new Team-Ups, ranked changes, and a Hellfire Gala theme. Here’s everything we know.
Marvel Rivals has been on fire lately, drawing in millions of players since launch and keeping the momentum going with Season 1.
But now, all eyes are on the upcoming Season 2, and yeah—it’s looking pretty stacked. From new heroes to fresh Team-Ups and flashy skins, here’s everything you need to know before it drops.
🗓️ Marvel Rivals Season 2 Release Date
Season 2 officially kicks off on April 11, 2025. Season 1 has been running for about three months, and that’s going to be the rhythm going forward—new seasons every three months unless things shift.
After Season 2, devs plan to shorten the length of seasons and roll out new heroes more frequently, so the pace is about to pick up.

🕴️ Season 2 Theme: Hellfire Gala
Each season of Marvel Rivals has a unique theme. Season 0 was all about Doctor Doom, and Season 1 had the Fantastic Four squaring off with Dracula in New York.
Season 2? It’s bringing in the Hellfire Gala vibes—confirmed after players spotted hints in the game’s Gallery Cards. The event originates from X-Men comics, where mutants open Krakoa’s doors to the world, introducing a new X-Men lineup (Cyclops, Jean Grey, Rogue, Wolverine, and more).
With the Hellfire Gala theme, we’re also getting two major hero additions: Emma Frost and Ultron.
