Due to an accidental update on the Twitch blog, key details about the third season of Marvel Rivals have been revealed. Titled "The Abyss Awaken", the upcoming season introduces new heroes Blade and Phoenix (Jean Grey). Players can also expect summer events, themed skins, and exclusive Twitch rewards. The season is set to launch on July 11, 2025.

Twitch mistakenly published part of the announcement as part of the Summer Drops Fest. According to the leaked information, Season 3 begins on July 11. Developer NetEase reportedly plans to shorten the duration of seasons to two months, with new content released monthly. This suggests that update 3.5 may arrive in mid-August.

New Heroes: Blade and Phoenix

Blade, the vampire hunter, has long been referenced in game files. His combat style includes melee attacks, a shotgun, and a special enhanced mode with boosted abilities. Phoenix (Jean Grey) has two forms: her human form and her Phoenix form. Her skillset includes teleportation, flight, psychic attacks, and a powerful ultimate ability. Rumors suggest she will be added in the second half of the season.

Both of these characters have been hinted at previously in data mines, with voice lines, cosmetics, and in-game hints already in place.

Marvel Rivals Season 3 The Abyss Awaken launches July 11 with new heroes, summer events, special Twitch drops, and cosmetics. Nothing has been officially revealed yet, but the leak out of Twitch and various insiders point to a massive mid-summer update that can revitalize the game.
