Potential new map: Arakko
Rumors point to Arakko, a mutant homeland from the X-Men comics, being added as a new Convoy map. If true, this could introduce fresh tactical opportunities and dynamic battle zones.
Major balance changes
The April 2025 Dev Vision stream hinted at adjustments for several characters, including:
- Jeff the Land Shark
- Peni Parker
- Scarlet Witch
- Mister Fantastic
- Rocket Raccoon
Some have already seen tweaks, but Season 2.5 may introduce further refinements and new Team-Up abilities to enhance their playstyles.
New events, skins, and rewards
Every season brings limited-time events, exclusive cosmetics, and bonus rewards. Expect new hero skins, emotes, and possibly a themed event tied to Ultron’s arrival.
With all the content planned, Marvel Rivals Season 2.5 will surely shape up to be an exciting update, thanks to Ultron’s debut, potential map additions, and crucial balance changes.
