Marvel Rivals Season 4 Starts Season 4 and Here’s What to Expect
New hero at season launch:
Angela (Vanguard) – As a Vanguard and a formidable warrior, the one-winged angel can shape her Ichors, a type of liquid metal, into various weapons, wielding them with unparalleled skill! Angela can take the fight to the skies, transforming her Ichors into a razor-sharp spear, diving into enemy lines, and opening up opportunities for her team. In times of danger, she can morph her weapon into a shield to block incoming damage. And when the moment is right, she descends from above, transforming her spear into dual axes to crush foes and protect her allies!
New Convergence Mode map out on Sept. 25 : Heart of Heaven (K’un-Lun) – Release
“After three epic seasons, the storm at the center of the Timestream Entanglement has finally swept to the ancient East. The Capital Cities of Heaven, led by K’un-Lun, can no longer hide away in their pocket dimensions. The shifting currents of time have drawn these realms together, forming the Heart of Heaven. The Immortal Dragon, Shou-Lao, lies frozen in time, deep in slumber, creating the perfect opportunity for Doctor Doom to execute his sinister plans. The Heart of Heaven’s convergence brings together story threads that have been weaving since Season 0, such as the mystery of the baby Iron Fist adopted – who has attracted her sister, the Hand of Heaven, once Asgard’s Assassin – Angela. Also unveiled is that the ruler of the Eighth City, Dizang, is none other than Daredevil, who sacrificed everything in the war between gods and demons to cleanse the souls of the lost and give humanity a fighting chance. With angels and devils locked in conflict, and Doom’s schemes brewing in the shadows, the fate of K’un-Lun rests on its guardians and whether they truly possess the “Heart of the Dragon.”
Season 4 will also introduce new features, modes, special events, quality-of-life updates and Team-Ups.
Moreover, NetEase mentioned that there will be new Team-Ups and updates to existing ones. Expect a major update to Arcade Mode with fan-favorites like Clone Rumble and Giant-Sized Brain Blast coming back to be permanent parts of the game.
ANother new adddition is Free Fight, a mode with no restrictions on duplicate heroes, and a Conquest (Annihiliation) mode where players rack up points via KOs. Conquest, Doom Match, Conquest (Annihilation), Free Fight, Giant-Size Brain Blast, and Clone Rumble will now all be accessible from a single Arcade Mode hub.
A new quality-of-life feature incoming is that players will now be able to queue for one mode or several at once, and there will also be a “Favorites Bar,” which lets players pin their most-played heroes to find them more easily at the hero select wheel.
The costume trial program for university students will also continue for Season 4, with a new batch of 10 costumes and MVPs.
