Key Takeaways
- Marvel Rivals dataminers have found evidence for several characters who are coming to the game as post-launch content.
- Those same dataminers have now found models and moveset info for two of those upcoming heroes.
- Blade and Ultron appear to be nearly finished and are likely coming to the game in the near future.
Marvel Rivals dataminers have found character models and movesets for Blade and Ultron, suggesting it won’t be long until they join the game’s stacked roster.
Although Marvel Rivals got off to be a bit of a rocky start when it looked like nothing more than an Overwatch clone (which it still kind of is), it’s managed to make a strong case for itself since its initial reveal. One of the main reasons for this is its massive launch roster of 33 characters, which ranges from obvious picks like Spider-Man to obscure legends like Jeff the Land Shark.

Although Marvel Rivals’ roster is already more than mighty, as a live-service game there’s no doubt that it’s going to get even stronger in the future. While no heroes or villains have been officially announced as post-launch content yet, leakers and insiders have managed to give us a good idea of who’s on the way, something that’s now been backed up by datamines.
Blade And Ultron Are Eventually Coming To Marvel Rivals
The first character who has been discovered by dataminers is one that Marvel fans are sure to be happy about – Blade. As showcased by Twitter user RivalsLeaks, Blade’s character model has been spotted within the game’s files, which shows him with a unique design featuring an arm tattoo, what appears to be dreadlocks, and his trademark sunglasses.
Blade’s character model is the only thing to have been spotted for him so far, but his sword makes it very likely that he’s another melee-focused character on the roster. While his moveset isn’t known just yet, it seems like he’s far enough along for his character model to be finished and included in the game.
The second upcoming character that’s been found within Marvel Rivals is Ultron, who was previously briefly spotted by eagle-eyed players. Ultron’s design is about what you’d expect, but RivalsLeaks also shared the villain’s moveset, which suggests that he’s a Support-type character who also has the ability to float around the map after jumping.
