Rogue and Gambit Join Marvel Rivals in New Season
After a long wait, Marvel Rivals is launching its fifth season, titled Love is a Battlefield, later this week. The season introduces two of Marvel’s most iconic mutants: Remy LeBeau (Gambit) and Anna-Marie (Rogue).
Season Inspiration and Storyline
This season draws inspiration from the 2018 X-Men: Gold comic run, where Rogue and Gambit finally got married following the dramatic interruption of Kitty Pryde’s intended wedding to Piotr Rasputin. This time, the story is set on Krakoa, focusing on the former couple whose wedding is once again disrupted—this time by the timestream entanglement that created the Rivals' mashup world.
Voice Cast Returns from X-Men ’97
Excitingly, the new season will feature Lenore Zann and A.J. LoCascio reprising their roles as Rogue and Gambit, respectively, from the X-Men ’97 animated series.
Narrative Details
- The release order of Rogue and Gambit as playable heroes remains unclear.
- The storyline hints that Gambit may arrive first, embarking on a multiverse journey to retrieve a rare ring to prove his worthiness to Rogue.
"Remy may be first up, as he tasks himself with travelling across the multiverse to find the rarest ring in existence to prove he is worthy of Rogue’s love."
NetEase confirms that even more mutants could be joining the game in the future.
