Marvel Rivals Season 8 is yet another solid season in the history books. Devil Dinosaur and Cyclops, the two latest heroes, have been wonderful additions to the ever-growing hero roster. And now it’s time to meet the next set of heroes, as a new season is right around the corner. So, check out everything you need to know about Marvel Rivals Season 9, including its release date, new heroes, events, skins, and more based on the leaks and official information.
Marvel Rivals Season 9 Release Date
Marvel Rivals Season 9 will release on July 10, 2026, at 9 AM UTC, as confirmed by the Marvel Rivals Season 8.5 roadmap. All ongoing Marvel Rivals events (except the Marvel Rivals summer festival events) end next week, as the ninth season is set to arrive with lots of new content.
While devs haven’t yet revealed their plans for Marvel Rivals Season 9, players can expect the usual for the new season. A new hero, battle pass, and events will be released at the launch of Season 9. Following the new season’s release, more new modes, including Avengers: Age of Ultron, revealed in the Path to Doomsday roadmap, will be added to the game down the road.
Marvel Rivals Season 9 New Heroes
As always, NetEase Games is remaining dead silent about the new heroes who will be introduced in Marvel Rivals Season 9. However, the devs have already begun to tease the lucky heroes who are all set to join the Marvel Rivals hero roster next season. Based on the hints and leaks, The Hood and Jubilee from the Marvel universe are expected to become part of the Marvel Rivals roster soon.
The Hood’s arrival was first hinted at on the cover of Marvel Rivals Infinity Comic #43. Then, his iconic cape was spotted by players in the Lower Manhattan map’s trailer. The latest tease was the Marvel Rivals Season 8.5 gallery card, A Murder Foretold.
While Apocalypto is the center of attention, if you look closely, you can spot The Hood wearing his signature red cape on the left side. The lore also mentioned a man wearing the ‘cloak of Oblivion’. Therefore, The Hood will likely be the first character in line to join the game as season 9’s launch hero, possibly as a Vanguard.
In the very same gallery card, players quickly spotted a hooded character blowing into a bubblegum. And the lore description stated a character capable of unleashing fireworks: “You bring the divine justice… I’ll bring the fireworks.” There is only one Marvel character who is known for blowing pink bubbles while setting off fireworks, and it is none other than Jubilee.
Following The Hood, Jubilee is set to make her debut in Marvel Rivals, and many players expect her to be a Strategist in the game. The Lumikinetic Explosive Light Blasts, which she simply calls her fireworks, can be used for both healing allies and inflicting damage on opponents. Apart from the hints and teases from the devs, both The Hood and Jubilee have been on the list of leaked Marvel Rivals characters for a long time. So, it’s about time these characters make their long-awaited debut in Marvel Rivals Season 9.
Marvel Rivals Season 9 New Skins
The Marvel Rivals summer skins are the hottest costumes in town now, but more new skins are planned for the next season. As per the latest leaks, several Marvel Rivals characters will get special skins based on their comics in Season 9. Thus, the expected Marvel Rivals characters to receive comic-based skins are:
- White Fox
- Magik
- Spider-Man
- Emma Frost
- Jeff the Land Shark
- Venom
- Ultron
On the other hand, heroes including Adam Warlock, Mantis, Spider-Man, Cloak & Dagger, Psylocke, Gambit, Rogue, Iron Man, Squirrel Girl, Winter Soldier, Ultron, Human Torch, Peni Parker, Luna Snow, Hela, Groot, and Punisher are expected to get original costumes in the upcoming season.
Since the Avengers: Age of Ultron event was postponed to late July, we can expect new skins for the Avengers as well as Ultron later this month. NetEase Games will start revealing new details about the upcoming Marvel Rivals season from next week. Until then, who do you want to join the Marvel Rivals hero roster first: Jubilee or The Hood?
