The next season of NetEase Games’ Marvel Rivals has been revealed, promising a conflict of cosmic proportions. Starting on July 19th, Season 3: The Abyss Awakens will add Jean Grey as Phoenix, who arrives on Klyntar to counteract the rise of Knull, the God of Symbiotes.
There is a snag, though, as Hela, the Asgardian Goddess of Death, has joined forces with Knull and become the queen in black. As she opposes Phoenix, another long-awaited ally comes to her aid in the vampire hunter, Blade.
The trailer offers a lot to unpack, not the least of which is a sleek new skin for Hela. It also seems that the Phoenix Force inhabiting Jean can manifest as a separate entity to provide fire support. Then there’s Blade, wielding a flaming sword and perhaps the potential to feed on enemies.
Following the release pattern of heroes for the previous seasons, Phoenix should go live alongside Season 3 later this month, while Blade arrives in the mid-season update. Stay tuned for more details on balance changes and other new content in the meantime.
