After much anticipation, NetEase has officially announced that two of Marvel's iconic mutants, Rogue and Gambit, will be the next heroes added to the comic book hero shooter Marvel Rivals. This update arrives with the game's fifth season, titled Love is a Battlefield.
The new season draws inspiration from the 2018 X-Men: Gold storyline, where Remy LeBeau (Gambit) and Anna-Marie (Rogue) finally married. The story features a twist set on Krakoa: their wedding is interrupted by the timestream entanglement that created the Rivals mashup universe.
Fans will appreciate that X-Men ’97 voice actors Lenore Zann and A.J. LoCascio will reprise their roles as Rogue and Gambit, adding authenticity to the characters’ portrayal.
The release order of Rogue and Gambit is not confirmed, but the storyline hints that Gambit will arrive first. Gambit embarks on a multiverse quest to find the rarest ring, proving his worthiness for Rogue’s love.
"Remy may be first up, as he tasks himself with travelling across the multiverse to find the rarest ring in existence to prove he is worthy of Rogue’s love."
Marvel Rivals continues to expand its mutant lineup, promising fresh content and engaging stories for fans of the franchise.
Summary: Rogue and Gambit headline Marvel Rivals' fifth season, bringing a beloved X-Men romance to life with authentic voices and a multiverse-spanning quest.
