Season 2.5 Release Date
Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals is expected to start on Friday, May 30, 2025. This estimate is based on the regular three-month season cycle. Season 2 began on April 11, so the update lands at the midway point. A leak from a known source, Miller Ross, also supports this date. However, delays are still possible, and official confirmation is awaited.

is expected to be the main addition in Season 2.5. He was teased in the Season 2 trailer, but Emma Frost was introduced first. Now, Ultron is set to debut mid-season. His abilities are not confirmed, but leaks provide some insight.
Ultron's Possible Kit

Live Events

New Map
Season 2.5 will also include a new map. It is set on the island of Arakko. This map was briefly shown in the Season 2 trailer. Leaks confirm it will be part of the Convoy map pool.
In Marvel stories, Arakko is the sister island of Krakoa. The two islands were once one but were separated. Arakko was sealed away and became more hostile over time. The map design may reflect this part of the lore.

Kevin Feige on The Fantastic Four - First Steps: It's the perfect time to launch into a new era
After Captain America and the Thunderbolts, it is now time for a new band of heroes to rise and save the day. The Fantastic Four are all set for take off in First Steps. Marvel's first family, who was teased in the post-credit scene of The Thunderbolts, are all set to take over the big screens this July. For Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige , the return of Reed Richards, Sue Storm, Johnny Storm, and Ben Grimm was more than just a comic-book plotline; it was a deeply personal and creative opportunity. In a statement, Feige said, 'When Disney bought Fox, it was really an unexpected dream come true. It came at the perfect time, to help us launch into a new era. They are Marvel's First Family, and I really wanted to do them justice.' ssociation with the Fantastic Four goes back more than two decades, having worked on the early 2000s films directed by Tim Story. Reflecting on those versions, he acknowledged the limitations of the time: 'There was still a bit of fear of being silly.' Now, he says, the creative team is embracing everything that makes the team iconic — including their colourful tone and larger-than-life villains. Among the most talked-about changes is the commitment to a more comic-accurate version of Galactus. 'In another time, some might consider the notion of somebody with a big, angular helmet walking through a city goofy,' Feige said. 'I consider it awesome.' The film is touted to unleash the full spectrum of their appeal, from their '60s retro-future aesthetic and groovy cosmic vibes to, crucially, a comic-accurate portrayal of their most formidable foe, Galactus. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now Undo Feige says, 'In another time, some might consider the notion of somebody with a big, angular helmet walking through a city goofy.
