Marvel Rivals’ latest update squashes bugs while buffing Moon Knight and nerfing Storm
Marvel Rivals' season two is coming to a close soon, but not without one last update for players to enjoy. When the next update goes live at about 3am CT on June 19, it will add the Venom's Bubble Pop event, where players can unlock a pink Venom skin, hilariously adorable Jeff the Landshark emote, and a free Future Foundation skin for Human Torch. This is likely the last update for the game before season three begins on July 11. The marketing for the new season should begin soon, with in-game lore hinting at Jean Grey/Phoenix joining the roster as the next hero and Knull taking center stage as the season's new villain. Season three will likely bring sweeping changes to hero balancing, new team-ups, and more, alongside new events, a new battle pass, and new storyline missions for players to progress the game's overarching plot. There are a few solid changes to some heroes in this update, though. Keep on scrolling to find out everything new and different coming to Marvel Rivals on June 19, and get ready for the new season coming in just a couple of weeks.
