Our first have a look at Ultron in Marvel Rivals

NetEase is dropping all of the deets on Marvel Rivals Season 2, kicking off on April 11. The season has a brand new map, the Hellfire Gala, two new heroes, and a great deal of team-up capacity adjustments.

The most recent “Dev Imaginative and prescient” video gave us a good suggestion of how Emma Frost, the primary hero of Season 2, works as a Vanguard with telepathic skills, however NetEase is staying tight-lipped in regards to the second hero, Ultron.

I suppose “hero” is a misnomer right here. Ultron is a profession villain, and just like Dracula in Season 1, he is being positioned as the primary antagonist of the Hellfire Gala season. It is a bit of awkward, then, that he’ll be teaming up with heroes as soon as he is out, however that is the rub of hero video games.

So place your bets now: What kind of hero will Ultron be? My intestine response is Vanguard due to his measurement, however I am leaning towards Duelist as a result of Emma Frost is a Vanguard and I doubt NetEase shall be doubling up in the identical season. I suppose Ultron may very well be a strategist, however does something about his chilly, completely grumpy face scream, “Come to me for therapeutic”?

Ultron would be the closing hero to comply with Rivals’ outdated three-month season schedule. As introduced in the identical Dev Imaginative and prescient video, starting in Season 3, NetEase will launch a brand new hero each month. That is a whopping 12 heroes added per yr, which may be a report for reside service video games. Is it a great factor that Rivals’ roster shall be twice its launch measurement in only a few quick years? Your guess is pretty much as good as mine, however NetEase is prioritizing conserving the sport recent for now.
