It's the season of love, baby. Marvel Rivals is ratcheting up the hype with a pair of lovers joining the roster as part of season five this month.
The new confirmation for season five finally dropped today and confirmed X-Men and on-again-off-again lovers Gambit and Rogue as the game's latest heroes. And it appears the seasonal storyline is advancing along with them.
NetEase Games just dropped this teaser image for season five, and it's a cute little wedding invitation for the pair of lovers. The studio previously teased Gambit and Rogue in the background of recent patch notes, whether inadvertently or not, so it's good to finally get the confirmation.
"Gambit and Rogue are tying the knot—a duo defined by danger, devotion, and unstoppable chemistry," the dev said. "When love meets power, the world takes notice. Tomorrow, the story takes center stage, and we warmly invite you to join us in celebrating this special day!"
A story trailer tomorrow will likely be followed by gameplay reveals and information about the new season, including exclusive footage from streamers partnered with Marvel Rivals ahead of the new launch this weekend.
It's unclear what roles the new heroes will play, but leaks point to Gambit being a Duelist while Rogue has been speculated as either a Vanguard or a Strategist. Either way, we will know more in the coming days.
Rogue's ability to sap the energy, abilities, memories, and more from anyone by physically touching them could make for some unique playstyles, while Gambit will likely use his bo staff to fight up close and charged-up playing cards to deal damage from afar.
Marvel Rivals season five begins on Nov. 14, so lock in.
