Marvel Rivals fans have exciting news to look forward to as NetEase Games unveils major updates for Season 3. The upcoming season will introduce two highly anticipated characters - Jean Grey and Blade - along with a brand new Klyntar map and a collection of symbiote-inspired skins.

New Playable Characters: Jean Grey and Blade

The psychic powerhouse Jean Grey and vampire hunter Blade will join Marvel Rivals' roster in Season 3. Jean Grey will be available immediately when the season launches on July 11, while Blade will be added later in a mid-season update. Both characters will be classified as Duelists, though their specific abilities remain under wraps for now.

The Klyntar Map: Home of the Symbiotes

Season 3 will introduce a new battleground - the Klyntar map, the alien homeworld of Marvel's symbiotes. This suggests the dark symbiote god Knull may play a significant role in the season's narrative. While details are still emerging, players can expect NetEase to reveal more about this ominous new location before the season begins.

Symbiote-Themed Battle Pass Rewards

The Season 3 battle pass will feature exciting new skins for several characters:

• Emma Frost receives a Phoenix-inspired makeover
• Jeff the Land Shark, Squirrel Girl, and Rocket Raccoon get symbiote costumes
• Spider-Man's Future Foundation skin (part of a Fantastic Four set)
• Captain America's Captain Klyntar skin (based on Edge of Venomverse comics)

These new cosmetics will be available starting July 3 at 7 PM PDT, giving players early access before Season 3 officially begins.

Shorter Season Duration

Notably, Season 3 will last only two months - a shorter timeframe compared to previous seasons. This change suggests NetEase may be adjusting their content release schedule to keep the game fresh and engaging for players.
