When is Ultron coming to Marvel Rivals?
Marvel Rivals' massive roster of playable characters will add a highly intelligent supervillain AI inside of an indestructible robot body in season two, and players can't wait. One thing lacking right now in Marvel Rivals' roster is playable villains. The cast of characters you can play as are mostly heroes and some who blur the line, like The Punisher or Venom, with a handful of villains such as Magneto, Loki, and Hela. Emma Frost, season two's launch hero is another one of these who blur the line between villain and hero, as a character who has been both depending on comic arc. But thankfully, a true, bonafide villain in Ultron is also coming in season two, and the excitement is palpable. Here's what we know so far about Ultron's arrival in Marvel Rivals.

This version of Ultron, however, may be different than the one that invades Krakoa, as in-game lore is hinting at a new version of Ultron designed by Tony Stark (the one we see in Krakoa and the original one from the comics was made by Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man), and could be one of the "good guys," but that remains to be seen thus far. We'll know more when Ultron comes out later this summer in Marvel Rivals. Stay tuned. This article will be updated with more information whenever it becomes available.
