Ultron Takes Flight: New Hero, Map, and Mode Unveiled in Marvel Rivals Season 2 Update

Next week marks the launch of the second half of the second season of Marvel Rivals. This update will introduce a new character, Ultron, along with an additional map, several new team abilities, and a fresh game mode. The experts at NetEase have shared insights on the key changes and innovations in a dedicated video.

Although Ultron’s past is renowned, he will take on the role of a strategist in Marvel Rivals. He has the ability to heal his allies, and when the situation demands, he can unleash serious damage on opponents. Notably, Ultron will be the first support character capable of flying, making him a challenging target to reach.

The android’s basic attack fires a searing energy beam, while his ultimate move calls forth several duplicates of himself to unleash powerful energy blasts. These attacks also have the bonus of healing allies. Moreover, Ultron can command a drone to follow teammates and restore their health points. He is also capable of granting additional HP to nearby companions.

According to the developers, Ultron’s primary weapon will offer «new shooting experiences,» and the character is expected to unlock new possibilities for airborne strategies.

The second half of the season in Marvel Rivals will commence on May 30. Additionally, NetEase has warned that starting from the third season, subsequent chapters will be shorter, lasting only two months each.
