How long is Marvel Rivals season 3?
Marvel Rivals season three will last exactly two months, with the first half running from July to August and the second half going from August to September. It’s the first season to follow a shorter format with one new hero scheduled to launch in each half. Moving forward, all future seasons are currently planned to follow the same format.
Marvel Rivals season 3 features
The third season of Marvel Rivals is focused on the arrival of two new heroes, fresh locations, skins, a new battle pass, and much more. Here’s a breakdown of all key features included in season three.
- Phoenix and Blade – Two new Duelist units are joining the roster. Phoenix is soaring onto the battlefield in the first half of the season, while Blade will finally be debuting during the second half.
- New battle pass – A fresh pass stacked with new skins and other cosmetic items you can earn arrives this season. The theme of this one is a mix between Phoenix Force and Symbiote costumes.
- New and reworked Team-Ups – A Team-Up between Phoenix and Wolverine, called Primal Flame, and a Team-Up between Human Torch and Spider-Man, called Ever-Burning Bond, are being added. There are a few changes to existing ones, too, like Hela joining Symbiote Shenanigans and Squirrel Girl joining Stark Protocol.
- New maps – The first half of season three has a new location to explore: Klyntar: Celestial Husk. All new heroes so far have launched with a fresh region, so we’ll likely see another map in the second half of the season, too.
- Hero accessories – A new type of customization will arrive in season three. Hero accessories are small cosmetic items you can attach to your characters, similar to keychains.
There’s plenty more arriving in season three beyond these main features, so you may want to check out the patch notes to learn more. You also may want to work on clearing out some unfinished achievements before the next update arrives, like Days of Future Past, Arrako Goes Analog, Mutant and Proud!, and Whispers in Pieces.
