We’re getting close to the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 2, which will bring a ton of updates to the blockbuster multiplayer game. As we near release day, there’s plenty to dig into, including the announcement of a brand new Hero, a whole new map to explore, as well as tweaks and balancing patches that’ll mix up the meta in-game.

Over the last week or so, Developer NetEase has lifted the lid on the next season of Marvel Rivals. There’s been a lot to digest, especially when looking into the changes coming to Competitive Mode. As an avid Marvel Rivals player, and one that’s looking to main a new character in Season 2, I’ve been digging into the full patch notes, trying to predict who will rise above the rest in the coming weeks and months. It’s regular changes to the game’s meta that have kept Marvel Rivals ranked highly in our best PC games list, and make me particularly excited for the launch of a new season.
