Five Surprising New ‘Marvel Rivals' Characters Leak
White Fox
Marvel Rivals doesn't always do the most mainstream of characters in the universe, from Peni Parker to Luna Snow. But new leaks suggest that we are getting into even more random territory, should these heroes come to fruition down the road.
Courtesy of the permanently reliable X0XLEAK, we have the following Marvel characters which also have at least names for this movesets.

What roles would each play? I'm not entirely sure. White Fox and Forge strike me as Duelists, Hive as a Vanguard and Amaranth as a Strategist. Very, very obviously Armor would be a Vanguard. In general, the amount of information about them is minimal, indicating they would be very far off.
It's also important to remember that these five join a huge list of characters that have also leaked in the files that have not made it to the game yet, and even with Rivals saying it will introduce a new character a month, this is over two years of content. The list as it stands:
Plus these new five, so 22 total, unless I missed any. I do think Marvel Rivals runs somewhat of a risk dipping into Marvel characters that are too obscure and their addition may not get players all that excited. That said, with a new hero out every single month, that probably doesn't matter much since so many will be dumped on the game, including known quantities, very frequently.

Get a Free Marvel Rivals Future Foundation Skin and Hawkeye Skin in Season 2.5
Marvel Rivals season 2.5 is moving the Hellfire Gala afterparty to space -- our heroes are heading to the sentient planet Arakko to prevent Ultron's planet-exterminating plans from coming to fruition. Stopping a robot army is going to require a whole new wardrobe's worth of battle gear. Luckily for you, there are many ways to unlock some free skins in the hit hero shooter right now -- including a new seasonal pass that unlocks a free Mister Fantastic skin. This Combat Chest event is the debut of a secondary battle pass system in Marvel Rivals, and it's a fairly standard experience-based reward. Free-to-play gamers will be able to unlock sprays, emotes and other odds and ends but the big ticket item is the Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin. Outside of the latest event, there are still other ways to earn free skins right now. Whether you're getting used to the new suite of team-up abilities or you're getting in more playtime on the latest addition to the Strategist roster by beaming down enemies with Ultron, season 2.5 has introduced a slate of free skins that you can use to deck out your favorite characters. Here's what you should know about the Combat Chest, the Cerebro Database Part 2 event and the rest of the free skin lineup at the beginning of Marvel Rivals season 2.5. The Combat Chest is a new type of battle pass -- it's a more traditional experience-based progression system. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET Get the Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin during the first ever Combat Chest event A new type of experience-based battle pass launched at the beginning of season 2.5. The Combat Chest is a smaller, half-season battle pass that rewards consistent playtime over challenge completion. The free track contains one costume, while the premium Combat Chest (which costs 690 Lattice, or roughly $7) has two additional costume rewards. It contains 24 reward tiers and each reward tier requires 1,800 experience points to unlock. Players can earn a maximum of 7,200 experience points every day so it's theoretically possible to earn every Combat Chest reward in six days. The free Mister Fantastic Future Foundation skin is on tier 18 of the Combat Chest so it will take the most enterprising players four days to unlock the new addition to the body-bending hero's wardrobe. Premium skin rewards include Storm Ultimate Wind-Rider on tier 6 and Magneto Binary Sword on tier 24 of the Combat Chest. The first version of this shortened alternate battle pass will disappear July 11 at the end of season 2 but any players who purchase the premium version can continue unlocking any remaining tiers after that date. If you want to complete the Future Foundation skin collection, you'll have to hold your horses -- and get ready to shell out some cash. The Invisible Woman Future Foundation and Thing Future Foundation skins are included in an in-store bundle that will be released on June 13, and while we don't yet know how much they'll cost, you can expect to spend several thousand units on them. A Spider-Man Future Foundation skin is likely to appear sooner than later, but has not yet been officially revealed. Hawkeye is infected by Ultron's biomechanical virus in the new Binary Arrow skin. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET Get the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin free in the Cerebro Database Part 2 event The Cerebro Database event is live now. It began with the launch of the season 2.5 patch on May 30 and ends on June 27. While this event is fairly easy, the presentation might confuse some players. As with any Marvel Rivals event, you'll need to complete challenges to earn rewards. In this event, though, each featured character (Iron Man, Black Widow, Magneto and Ultron) has nine unique challenges arranged in a 3x3 board. The new Cerebro Database event plays out just like the previous one -- including the annoying time-gated challenges. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET You don't need to complete all 36 challenges to receive all of the event rewards. Instead, you need to complete enough challenges to make three separate horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines on all four boards to finish the event. Basically, you're playing tic-tac-toe to quickly make three lines on all of the boards to earn your rewards as efficiently as possible. Like most Marvel Rivals events, several characters' boards are time-gated, which means that the most enterprising players have only been able to unlock the Hawkeye Binary Arrow skin starting on June 11. If you aren't gunning to complete all four sets of challenges, you can still earn Chrono Tokens, units, sprays and gallery pages. How can I get free skins during Marvel Rivals season 2.5? Players who link their Twitch account to their Marvel Rivals account right now can nab a free Emma Frost skin. But if you only care about rewards you can earn in-game, a different Emma Frost skin and an Ultron skin are available by progressing through the competitive ladder and new Iron Fist and Magik looks are available free on the season 2 battle pass. The immortal Iron Fist goes toe-to-toe with Doctor Strange in his new free battle pass skin. NetEase Games/Screenshot by CNET What Marvel Rivals skins are available free right now? There are currently 11 free skins available. Here's how you get them: Hawkeye Binary Arrow: Complete the Cerebro Database Part 2 event challenges on all four characters by June 27 to unlock this skin.

There are many ways to get skins in Marvel Rivals. Sometimes the developer issues special codes to unlock them while others require completing challenges. There are also some made available by watching streams on Twitch and many skins are "free" for progressing through the Marvel Rivals Battle Pass, which costs 990 Lattice, or about $10. You can also earn skins through regularly playing the game, as a free skin is frequently awarded with the completion of seasonal events. Players who reach gold rank or higher in competition also receive a free skin as a reward for their performance. Live events like Cerebro Database include free skins as a completion reward. What free skins used to be available in Marvel Rivals? Twitch drops, battle passes and promo codes get cycled in and out of rotation, allowing Marvel Rivals players to earn different free skins from engaging with the game during different events.
