Season 3 is officially coming to Marvel Rivals, and with that comes the reveal of two new incoming heroes for what is dubbed The Abyss Awakens.
Just in, we have a new preview, and it reveals the long-awaited Blade as well as X-Man Jean Grey a.k.a. Phoenix. Check this out:
Here’s the official description:
In the wake of the Timestream Entanglement, Knull stirs deep within Klyntar’s core, stretching his shadowed hands across the cosmos. Power promised by the dark symbiote god beckons the awakening of a new queen. The Phoenix arrives from across the stars to erase Klyntar before the darkness can rise again! However, she’ll require unlikely aid from a warrior of two worlds who lives to fight against the tide of night.
As the god of the symbiotes and the Phoenix Force collide, will you burn with the light of creation or embrace the darkness?
Blade has been seen resting in Wakanda for a while, so a lot of people are pretty happy to see him actually be up and about. As for Jean, she wasn’t the first hero I would guess would be coming next, but she does tease the arrival of other X-Men soon.
Looking at the main villain of the season though, Knull is one of the newer comic creations, but his status as the Father of Symbiotes is essentially the reason why several heroes like Captain America, Squirrel Girl, Rocket, and Jeff are getting Venom-themed skins.
We don’t know if everyone in the roster is getting one, but it definitely fits the stage of Klyntar, the planet of the symbiotes and Knull’s homeworld (or more accurately prison).
Season 3 of Marvel Rivals launches for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on July 11.
