The Marvel Rivals community is now facing a new kind of crisis that’s far from their usual matchmaking woes: the lack of leaked heroes. With almost all the major heroes that were datamined months ago now released, no one knows who the next Marvel Rivals character will be. And that’s exactly why it’s a good thing.
Now that Blade has finally arrived, leakers are running out of important data to identify who’s coming next to Marvel Rivals’ ever-growing roster. Dataminers no longer have credible information buried in the game files, leaving them without clear leads on future characters.
The original leaked roster was uncovered months after the game’s launch, and most of those heroes have already been released. It began with news that the Fantastic Four would debut in Season 1, followed by Ultron and Emma Frost in Season 2, then Jean Grey’s Phoenix and Blade in Season 3.
There was another round of leaks a few months ago, before Phoenix and Blade were added, suggesting that mutants like Rogue, Forge, and Armor could be making their way into Marvel Rivals. Other names, such as The Hive and Red Hood, also surfaced, but the data was inconsistent and didn’t point to fully fleshed-out heroes.
In many ways, this uncertainty is good for Marvel Rivals. With no reliable leaks left, players are beginning to build anticipation again, wondering who the next major addition will be. It makes future reveals feel like genuine surprises, especially if they happen during a big showcase like Gamescom 2025.
Leaks have hurt Marvel Rivals’ momentum in the past, as many reveals felt underwhelming once fans already knew who to expect. For casual players, the announcements still landed, but dedicated fans lost that element of surprise.
Dataminers are also facing new challenges since NetEase has reportedly been planting misleading data in the files to throw them off. Even if someone uncovers something that looks substantial, like Gambit being teased for Season 4, there’s a good chance it’s another false trail deliberately left to mislead.
With no one certain about who will arrive in Season 4 or where the story is headed, this is an exciting new phase for the competitive hero-shooter. Genuine surprises may finally be back on the table.
Now, all NetEase needs to do is fix its matchmaking.
