Marvel Rivals Season 5 Launches November 14
Marvel Rivals Season 5 will begin on November 14, introducing a new hero, a fresh social space, and more content to the free-to-play game. While specific gameplay balance updates remain undisclosed, the new additions have been announced.
New Hero: Gambit as a Strategist
The season's first new hero is Gambit, who surprisingly is classified as a Strategist rather than a Duelist, as many expected. Gambit is a master of kinetic energy control using his signature playing cards combined with agile movement and expert combat skills, creating a distinctive tactical style.
"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 combat, Gambit uses Chronovium-enhanced cards to unlock kinetic shifting, which can heal allies, remove negative effects, or deal damage by knocking back enemies and applying anti-heal effects. When teammates are in danger or enemies advance, he channels energy into his staff, utilizing swift movements and martial arts to defeat threats.
New Social Space: Times Square Map
Alongside Gambit, Marvel Rivals Season 5 adds the Times Square map—a new non-combat social area designed to enrich player interaction within the game.
