What is the release date for Ultron in Marvel Rivals?
If you were one of the fans who expected to see Ultron’s demonic and shiny face when you booted up Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, don’t worry. The villain hasn’t been scrapped from the game, and they’re still coming. After all, we already knowall of Ultron’s abilitiesand even some skins have been leaked for the villain, so it would make no sense for NetEase Games not to bring the character into the game.
However, Ultron’s arrival is going to have to wait several more weeks. The release date for Ultron is the Season 2.5 update, which is likely going to be released sometime in late May. We don’t have a concrete release date for the update yet, as Season 2 was only just released, butNetEase Games has promised shorter seasonsand more content than ever, so you may expect it to be released within the next month or so. If you’re likely for a rough estimate, though, the leaked release date of the Season 2.5 update is July 23, 2025.
Whether that release date holds is another story, but Ultron is fully confirmed to arrive with that update whenever it does come out. Until then, you’re able to enjoy all of the initial Season 2 content in Marvel Rivals, such as thehero Emma Frost, who has someparticularly interesting skinsright off the bat.
