The new season of Marvel Rivals has started and marks the next step in the project's development. The game continues to hold its status as one of the most notable online hits of recent months.
Frequent updates, constant balance adjustments, and an active community mean that each major version changes the meta. NetEase continues to try new solutions and expands the roster of heroes, who quickly resonate with players.
Yesterday, Marvel Rivals Season 5 was released. It includes a revamped Battle Pass, significant changes to ranked matches, and a key addition — Gambit's debut as a Strategist. Also, Rogue will appear in version 5.5, leading to new shifts in the balance of power.
Among the changes, the developers noted adjustments for Spider-Man and Captain America — these changes will also affect the overall balance. Gambit received a set of moves based on kinetic energy: he attacks with cards, heals allies, applies debuffs to enemies, and confidently acts in dynamic battles thanks to his high mobility. Another element is bonuses from Magneto through the new Team Up. It seems that the fifth season will be one of those that will have a long-term impact on the style of play.
