Marvel Rivals continues to go from strength to strength as NetEase keeps up with its post-launch support.

The free-to-play game is about to enter Season 5: Love is a Battlefield, which will introduce at least two new playable characters.

The first of these will be Gambit, who will be available when Season 5 begins on 14th November. He'll be joined by fellow mutant Rogue later in the Season.

Here's a breakdown of Gambit, per the press release:

"Gambit is a master Strategist, blending kinetic energy control with his iconic playing cards, agile movement, and expert combat skills to create a unique playstyle. In battle, he can combine his Chronovium-enhanced cards to unlock kinetic shifting to heal allies, cleanse negative effects, or deal damage: knocking back enemies and applying anti-heal. When teammates need help or foes rush in, Gambit can channel energy into his staff, using nimble movement and martial arts to take down threats. When activating his Ultimate Ability, Gambit launches kinetic-charged aces at all nearby allies, supercharging their jump abilities and adding explosive power to their attacks!"

As well as the new characters, Season 5 introduces a bunch of other new things.

It adds a non-combat map in New York's Times Square, capable of hosting up to 100 players.

Then there's the 18v18 Conquest (Annihilation) mode, which takes place on another brand new map, Grand Garden.

Importantly, Season 5 also implements cross-platform progression, meaning you can finally pick up where you left off between various systems.

The press release also says players can expect more PvE content in 2026 off the back of the Marvel Zombies mode.
