Marvel Rivals Season 3 Will Add Phoenix And Blade

Blade and Phoenix are joining the Marvel Rivals roster as part of Season 3: The Abyss. The multiplayer title's next big event kicks off next week on July 11.

Season 3: The Abyss centers on the arrival of the symbiote god Knull (AKA the King in Black), who awakens within the core of Klyntar. The Phoenix arrives to put a stop to Knull’s plans, but will need the help of another warrior who feels right at home in the night: Blade.

Phoenix arrives at the launch on July 11. She's a ranged Duelist, described as being able to disrupt formation from the flank using agile mobility while also pressuring tightly grouped enemies head-on. Phoenix's Ultimate sees her merge with the Phoenix Force to deal overwhelming damage while also clearing all enemy summons from the arena. Check out her character trailer below. 

Season 3 introduces four new Team-Up abilities while retiring two existing ones. A new competitive mode is also coming later in Season 3.5. That mid-season update will also introduce Blade to the roster. You can check out the entire Season 3 development update to learn of all the incremental updates and changes being introduced to the game.
