NetEase has unveiled the highly anticipated first look at Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, featuring none other than the iconic villain, Ultron. This formidable robotic antagonist has posed a significant threat to the Marvel Universe on multiple occasions, and he’s now set to disrupt the Hellfire Gala taking place in the revered Mutant Nation of Krakoa.
Tony Stark’s infamous creation is primed to unleash chaos yet again and is poised to be the game’s first-ever playable seasonal villain. Alongside this menacing figure, we’ve also gotten glimpses of Emma Frost and various new outfits for heroes and villains anticipated to be available in the upcoming season of Marvel Rivals.
Unveiling Ultron’s Design in the Marvel Rivals Season 2 Trailer
Scheduled for release later this month in April 2025, Season 2 of Marvel Rivals showcases Ultron as its primary antagonist. Previous leaks hinted at a mechanical menace wreaking havoc upon our beloved heroes, and now we see that vision come to life.
Ultron’s aesthetic in Marvel Rivals draws clear inspiration from its portrayal in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The robotic villain exhibits a familiar silhouette and color scheme reminiscent of its appearance in Avengers: Age of Ultron, enhanced with distinct comic book flair.
The trailer reveals Ultron’s evil scheme to seize control of the sentient island of Krakoa, intending to transform it into a mechanical fortress for his sinister agenda. Notably, as the trailer primarily features Ultron and X-Men’s Emma Frost, it is speculated that Stark’s creation may also become a playable character alongside its originator.
