Marvel Rivals Confirms Rogue and Gambit for Season 5
The next heroes joining Marvel Rivals are Rogue and Gambit, the iconic X-Men couple. The developers confirmed that both characters will officially debut in the upcoming new season of the game.
Season 5 Theme and Inspiration
Season 5, titled "Live is a Battlefield", draws inspiration from Rogue and Gambit’s marriage. According to Gizmodo, the season takes cues from the X-Men: Gold comic series, first released in 2018, which focused on the couple's relationship.
Setting and Storyline
The story unfolds on Krakoa, a sentient island from the X-Men universe that also serves as a safe haven for mutants. However, instead of highlighting a peaceful union, the narrative introduces a timestream entanglement that disrupts Rogue and Gambit’s marriage.
“Marvel Rivals’ mashup stems from the timestream entanglement that once again disturbs in-game events.”

NetEase Games has slightly extended Season 4, but Season 5 is confirmed to begin on Friday, November 14. Players can look forward to fresh challenges, missions, and new gameplay dynamics with the arrival of Rogue and Gambit.
