Only a few days have passed since the release of Marvel Rivals Season 2, and dataminers have already managed to dig up game files and uncover the contents of the upcoming Season 2.5 update of the hero shooter.
The Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 update is scheduled to hit the live servers towards the end of May 2025, and as with every new season, it will bring with it tons of new content to the game, including a new hero, a new map, and more.
While NetEase has yet to shed light on the official patch notes for the Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 update, we’ve seen plenty of leaks surface on social media forums over the past few weeks to get a decent idea about what the new patch will bring to the game.
Without further ado, let’s check out everything you need to know about the Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 leaks, including the new map Arakko, Ultron, and more.
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5: New Map Arakko Leaked
According to a recent X post (formerly Twitter) by prominent dataminer ‘X0X_LEAK’, Arakko will be a new map that’s set to be added to Marvel Rivals in Season 2.5.
As per the leaker, several new lore entries have been discovered in the game files that reference Arakko. One entry describes an assault on Krakoa, during which the attacker seizes Cerebro before departing to Arakko. The second one mentions how the Mutants of Krakoa lost communication with their counterparts on Arakko.
“Not even the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda, with all of their technological advancements, have been able to locate Arakko’s current coordinates in their stellar atlas.”
Marvel Rivals Season 2.5: New Hero Ultron
Ultron has been confirmed to be the next character to join the ever-expanding roster of heroes in Marvel Rivals. While he has already made his appearance in the Season 2 Hellfire Gala cinematic trailer, he won’t be available as a playable character in the game until the Season 2.5 update.
From the leaks we’ve seen so far, it’s safe to say that Ultron will be a Strategist in Marvel Rivals. Here’s a list of his leaked abilities:
- Primary Weapon: Encephalo-Ray – Unleash a burning energy beam
- Passive: Algorithm Correction – Hold Space to fall slowly while airborne
- Dynamic Flight (Shift) – Dashes in the direction of movement before entering a free-flight mode
- Imperative: Patch (E) – Summons a giant drone that follows an ally, constantly healing allies within its radius, with additional healing for the designated ally
- Imperative: Firewall (RMB) – Summons drones that grant bonus health to nearby allies, centered on Ultron and the ally marked with Imperative: Patch
- Ultimate: Rage of Ultron – Summons Ultron Drones to fire Encephalo-Rays, which can damage enemies or heal allies
