The Marvel Rivals Season 2 leaks continue to build anticipation as fresh updates surface ahead of the April 11 launch. Streamers, data miners, and even official merchandise are painting a clearer picture of what’s coming. A key highlight comes from TimTheTatman, who revealed that a Marvel Rivals promotional stream will happen this Friday, April 5. That stream is expected to feature the first gameplay look at Season 2 content.

TimTheTatman’s Reveal and the Early Access Schedule

TimTheTatman, who often appears in Marvel Rivals promotions, confirmed during a stream that he’ll be playing the game on Friday due to a sponsored event. He mentioned there’s content he cannot yet discuss, hinting at a significant reveal. Since he usually gets early access, Friday most likely marks the beginning of promotional coverage for Season 2. According to XOX Leak, the early access build will require a 5 GB download and 6 GB installation, hinting at a sizable content update.

More creators, partnered with Marvel Rivals, are expected to showcase gameplay over the weekend. These streams will likely reveal buffs, nerfs, meta changes, and new team-up mechanics already mentioned by developers.

Blade and Ultron: Confirmed by Merch?

Among the most discussed Marvel Rivals Season 2 leaks are rumors surrounding new heroes. Hot Topic merchandise strongly suggests Blade and Ultron will arrive this season. Ultron’s character design and artwork have been circulating for some time, but a Blade t-shirt featuring exclusive in-game art has recently gained attention. The shirt displays Blade’s logo—a circle enclosing a Dracula sword—matching the weapon seen on his back.

These visuals support earlier leaks about Blade’s gameplay. He is expected to be a duelist, equipped with a Dracula sword and a hunting shotgun. His ultimate reportedly lets him transform into a vampire. This setup aligns with previous information, which suggests Blade has been ready for some time.

While Emma Frost remains a popular candidate due to the Hellfire Gala theme, the officially licensed Blade and Ultron merchandise points to these two as this season’s playable heroes. Ultron will likely appear mid-season, following the model used in Season 1 to maintain interest.

KCOA and Arakko Maps: Gameplay Changes and Portals

Season 2 introduces two new map variants: KCOA and Arakko. KCOA ties into Magneto’s lore and the Hellfire Gala storyline. It launches first, followed by Arakko mid-season. XOX Leak also discovered data suggesting KCOA will feature dynamic portals. These portals may work like those in Sanctum Sanctorum, opening and closing based on player proximity and providing new tactical elements.

According to data from the game files, KCOA will serve as a domination map. It blends a futuristic 2099 aesthetic with natural features like trees and foliage. It will also include Hellfire Gala theming. Arakko, the second map, will function as an escort map, offering a different gameplay style.

Emma Frost has voice lines connected to the Hellfire Gala and KCOA. Despite this, her absence from leaked assets suggests she might appear in a future season. However, her role could still be teased through lore and map interactions during Season 2.

All signs point to Friday’s stream as the official unveiling of Season 2 content. Blade will likely debut first, with Ultron arriving at mid-season. While fans continue to hope for Emma Frost, available evidence supports Blade and Ultron. With KCOA featuring interactive portals and a domination format, the game is set to offer fresh strategic depth.

Friday’s gameplay streams will answer the major questions—confirming the new hero, showing off the new maps, and outlining balance updates. Until then, anticipation continues to grow for what’s shaping up to be a strong second season.
