Marvel Rivals fans are having an exciting week, thanks to the reveal of the upcoming Season 3 and the announcements of new characters, Phoenix and Blade. But the excitement doesn’t stop there. Recent leaks have also revealed the themes for Seasons 4 and 5. Let’s take a look at what these upcoming seasons might bring and which new heroes could possibly join the roster.
Marvel Rivals Season 4 Theme: K'un Lun
According to trusted Marvel Rivals dataminer X0X_LEAK, Season 4 will be themed around K’un-Lun. While leaks about K’un-Lun have been circulating since June, a recent tweet from the leaker has further strengthened the possibility of this theme being true.
K’un-Lun is a mystical realm and home to Shou-Lao, the immortal dragon that grants Iron Fist his powers. Several Marvel characters have ties to K’un-Lun, either through their connection to the Hand organization or during storylines like Avengers vs. X-Men, where the Avengers hide there to escape the Phoenix Force.
With Season 3 introducing Phoenix into the game, it’s possible that the story is heading toward a scenario where the Phoenix Force becomes uncontrollable, causing widespread chaos and forcing the Marvel Rivals characters to seek refuge, or answers, in K’un-Lun.
Multiple voice lines referencing K’un-Lun have also been leaked, further supporting the theme. For example, Storm says, “If we cannot complete this mission, we deserve the wrath of Shou-Lao,” while Rocket Raccoon remarks, “Let’s find Shou-Lao… and hope we don’t end up dragon food…”
These lines strongly hint at K’un-Lun playing a major role in Season 4’s narrative.
Possible New Characters for Season 4
With the leaked theme for Season 4 centered around K’un-Lun, it’s highly likely that characters connected to this mystical realm could be introduced. The first name that comes to mind is Iron Fist, but since he’s already part of the roster, we might see a new cosmetic skin for him instead.
Other potential additions include Daredevil and White Fox, both of whom have known ties to K’un-Lun. Interestingly, skills for both characters have also been leaked, further increasing the likelihood of their arrival.
However, NetEase has a history of deviating from comic lore when it comes to character releases, so it’s just as possible that other leaked heroes like Captain Marvel or Forge could show up instead.
Marvel Rivals Season 5 Theme: Love and the Eternal Touch of Romance
Also sourced from the same dataminer, Season 5 is rumored to be themed around Love and the Eternal Touch of Romance. Sounds cheesy? Maybe, but not once you consider the characters strongly tied to this theme.
While there’s no further leaked information detailing the specifics of this “Love and Romance” season, we can take hints from the theme and speculate which characters are likely to be introduced in Season 5.
Possible New Characters for Season 5
When it comes to love, many Marvel characters have romantic storylines, but few are as iconic as Rogue and Gambit.
Rogue and Gambit are beloved lovebirds in the comics, making it highly likely that Season 5’s theme is hinting at their arrival. Their voice lines have already been leaked, confirming that NetEase is actively working on them.
As for the title Love and the Eternal Touch of Romance, could the word “Touch” be a subtle nod to Rogue’s power, which is activated through physical contact? It’s a long shot, but it’s definitely fun to theorize!
Another name that naturally comes up in discussions about love is Cyclops, especially following the introduction of his wife, Jean Grey, in Season 3. Cyclops has long been one of the most requested characters in the game, and considering NetEase’s history of listening to community feedback, his arrival could be just around the corner.
