Marvel Rivals is poised to enthrall players with its forthcoming update, Version 20250411, scheduled for release on April 11, 2025. This substantial update introduces a host of new content, including the debut of Emma Frost, a new map, and a revamped Battle Pass, all centered around the opulent Hellfire Gala.

Emma Frost Joins the Roster

The enigmatic Emma Frost makes her grand entrance as a playable hero in Marvel Rivals. Players can unlock her along with two stunning costumes: "X-Revolution" and "Blue Sapphire." Emma's abilities and strategic potential are set to add a fresh dynamic to team compositions.

Explore the Hellfire Gala: Krakoa Map

Immerse yourself in the splendor of the Hellfire Gala with the new Domination map set on Krakoa. This map offers unique strategic opportunities and breathtaking visuals, capturing the essence of the renowned event.

Notably, "Hellfire Gala: Krakoa" enters the Competitive map pool, while "Yggsgard: Royal Palace" and "Tokyo 2099: Shin-Shibuya" are retired from ranked play. Tournament maps will align with the Competitive mode, while Quick Match and Custom Game modes will continue to feature all maps without rotation.
