Marvel Rivals Season Three Roadmap Revealed

July 10, 2025

The roadmap for Marvel Rivals season three has been revealed, teasing a number of exciting new content and updates to come over the next few weeks!

Season three launches July 11 with a brand new Phoenix-Symbiote themed battlepass, new Klyntar map, and new duelist Phoenix joining the roster. A new event will also grant a free Storm Symbiote costume for our favorite weather manipulator.

July 18 sees the release of the Summer Party 2025 event, including suitably scorching costumes for a number of characters in Marvel Rivals. We predict that this, and any later Halloween costumes, will be extremely popular.

July 25 drops Fantastic Four costumes based on the upcoming Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, as well as introducing a new team-up for Human Torch and Thing based on events in the movie.

August 1 drops new costumes for Magik and Black Panther in a Phoenix style.

Finally, patch 3.5 arrives August 8 and will see the playable introduction of Blade at last!
