The upcoming Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals introduces Ultron on May 30, accompanied by a new map.

Overview

  • Ultron joins Marvel Rivals as a new Strategist hero, featuring healing abilities, drone summons, and flight, alongside the new Arakko map transformed into a mechanical world under his control.
  • A comprehensive balance pass includes nerfs for Groot, Emma Frost, and Captain America, while Magneto, Doctor Strange, and others receive buffs to shift the competitive meta.
  • Six new team-up abilities, including the community-celebrated Jeff-Nado, are added, with four older team-ups retired to refine gameplay strategies.
  • Ultron's Battle Matrix Protocol, a limited-time auto-chess-inspired mode, launches June 6, allowing players to build custom hero lineups and experiment with unique traits.
  • The update signals a shift to shorter, two-month seasons starting with Season 3 and hints at upcoming battle pass price increases due to economic factors.
