Marvel Rivals Season 2 heads to Krakoa with the Hellfire Gala, and the addition of Emma Frost and Ultron to the roster.
We're are just days away from the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 2. And now we have the trailer that reveals a season themed around the Hellfire Gala and two new characters joining the roster. Emma Frost and Ultron are slated to arrive in Marvel Rivals Season 2, with the latter joining at Season 2.5.
Let's go over everything we learned from the trailer.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 official trailer reveals the Hellfire Gala
The trailer begins with Emma Frost appearing in the game's universe for the first time. She pulls out an invitation to the Hellfire Gala, which we correctly assumed would be a central part of the Marvel Rivals story at some point.
She goes into explaining the event takes place on Krakoa. It is the living island where Magneto, Storm, and other mutants call home. That definitely means we're getting Krakoa as the new map for whatever game modes it will hold with Marvel Rivals Season 3.
We then get a look at several new Hellfire Gala skins. You've got dapper costumes for the likes of Luna Snow, Wolverine, Bruce Banner, Hela, Captain America, Black Panther, Rocket Raccoon, Star-Lord, and Cloak & Dagger. Then we get a glimpse of the traditional yellow and blue X-Men costumes for Psylocke and Magik.
That's when it all starts to go wrong. A robotic voice chimes in and out of a portal arrives Ultron, to challenge Emma Frost and her X-Men. He has an army of Ultron bots behind him as they attack the Hellfire Gala. And boom, we're off to Marvel Rivals Season 2.

What new characters are coming with Marvel Rivals Season 2?
It is obvious from the trailer what new characters are coming. We've seen plenty of leaks for a slew of Marvel heroes and villains across the months since the game launched. This time around, though, it was kind of up in the air who would arrive.
Well, now we know for certain the two new characters coming are Emma Frost and Ultron. They're following a new release format, so expect Ultron during Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 update instead of immediately at launch of the new season.
