Marvel Rivals starts Season 4 with a fresh update full of new content, features, and gameplay improvements. Specifically, Heart of the Dragon will introduce new heroes, stories, game modes, and cosmetics. Marvel and NetEase want to keep all players engaged with the upcoming patch when the season kicks off.
New Heroes and Stories
The official Marvel announcement said that Angela and Daredevil are the newest additions to the list of superheroes in the game. Angela will join the roster with her Ichors that can turn into powerful weapons or shields. Meanwhile, the developers have not yet showed the abilities of Daredevil in the game. However, he is expected to be the ruler of the Eighth City, Dizang. Even so, players can expect their arrival in Marvel Rivals to add a unique tactical edge.
At the same time, GameRant mentioned that next season introduces several new storylines that grow the narrative. Heart of the Dragon will be the focus and will set the tone for the season. Likewise, the backstories of some key heroes may be expanded in their own lore. In particular, Her Sister’s Keeper will explore Angela. One True Champion revolves around the Iron Fist. Similarly, Destined For Doom will tackle the story of Loki.
