Marvel Rivals Season 3: Release Date and Exciting First Details Revealed

Marvel Rivals Season 3: The Abyss Awakens Set to Launch

Marvel and NetEase have officially announced the launch date and exciting details for the much-anticipated Marvel Rivals Season 3: The Abyss Awakens. Scheduled to go live on July 11, this new season will introduce the cosmic hero Phoenix into the game’s roster, along with a brand-new map called Klyntar: Celestial Husk in the popular hero shooter. Season 3 promises to enrich the gameplay experience with special events, innovative features, and character Team-Ups. Moving forward, fans can expect a new season of Marvel Rivals to be launched every two months.

The Epic Journey of Phoenix

Set against the backdrop of the Mosaic (Space) Timeline, both Phoenix and Jean Grey have embraced their duality, journeying across the universe to assist various inhabitants. However, a mysterious event known as the Timestream Entanglement left the Phoenix feeling an ominous force awakening at the universe’s edge. This darkness has already tainted numerous gods, inflicting mental anguish even on the distant Phoenix. In a bid to eradicate this malevolent force, the duo embarks on a daring mission into the abyss, determined to extinguish the source of this overwhelming darkness. The Phoenix will take on the role of a Duelist-type character in Marvel Rivals.

Klyntar: Celestial Husk Map Unveiled

The lore surrounding the Klyntar: Celestial Husk map is as riveting as the gameplay itself. The notorious Knull has executed several Celestials, and the head of the first Celestial he decapitated has floated away from the planet Klyntar over eons, eventually transforming into Knowhere. The severed body remains in orbit around Klyntar, corroded by Knull’s dark energies and cosmic forces. As remnants of these Celestials rain down, they gradually become part of the Klyntar landscape, enhancing the map’s rich history.
