Marvel Rivals Season 2 begins now with Emma Frost, new team-ups and a PC performance boosting mode

Marvel Rivals Season 2 is starting today, bringing a new superhero, Emma Frost, to the game. Emma Frost is a Vanguard hero with powerful abilities, including midrange psychic attacks and the ability to transform into a tanky brawler. Additionally, Ultron, a Strategist character, will be introduced in a few weeks. Stay tuned for more details on his abilities.

Along with the new characters, a new map called Krakoa Hellfire Gala has been added to the game. This high society event sets the stage for intense battles and strategic gameplay. Imagine Agent 47 navigating through a party full of superheroes – it’s a unique concept that sparks curiosity.

Season 2 also brings various updates like weekly missions, changes in ranked mode requirements, and new team-up skills. Players can also expect performance improvements with the addition of a switch shader compilation feature, aimed at reducing memory usage and enhancing gameplay experience.

NetEase has announced that starting from Season 3, updates will be released every two months, with a new hero introduced each month. This rapid release schedule will offer players a diverse range of characters to play with. However, concerns have been raised about potential crunch time for developers, given NetEase’s track record in employee welfare.
