**NEW YORK, NY** – The popular mobile fighting game, Marvel Rivals, is set to heat up with the addition of a major X-Men villain in its upcoming season. Leaks confirm that Emma Frost will be a playable character in Season 2, which will center around the Krakoa storyline and the Hellfire Gala. A leaked character design, courtesy of X0XLEAK, shows Frost in a striking outfit reminiscent of Street Fighter’s Chun-Li.

While Frost’s specific role remains unclear, speculation points towards her utilizing her diamond-hardening powers as the second female Vanguard. A lengthy leaked “greeting message” detailing Season 2’s plot has also surfaced, though it remains silent on the identity of the second playable character. While various X-Men, including Professor X and Jean Grey, are rumored, the possibilities remain open. Previous speculation regarding Blade and Ultron’s inclusion appears to be unfounded.

Despite a recent dip in concurrent Steam players (from a peak of 644,000 to 168,000), Marvel Rivals maintains a strong player base, particularly considering the current season is nearing its end. The addition of Emma Frost is expected to reinvigorate player interest as the game moves into its next chapter. Further details regarding Season 2 and the second playable character are expected soon.
