A recent Marvel Rivals leak suggests that Season 2 may focus on the Hellfire Club, a well-known group in the X-Men universe. Like other multiplayer shooters, Marvel Rivals follows a seasonal content model, introducing new storylines and characters inspired by the broader Marvel universe.
The game’s Season 0, titled “Doom’s Rise,” ran from December 6, 2024, to January 10, 2025, featuring a storyline centered around Doctor Doom’s temporal experiments, which resulted in the creation of multiple Chronoverses. The ongoing Season 1, titled “Eternal Night Falls,” began on January 10, 2025, and revolves around Dracula’s plan to cover the world in eternal darkness.
According to a leak shared by Reddit user MarbledJelly, game files contain a Hellfire Club banner featuring the group’s distinctive “H” and trident” logo. The leak also suggests that Doctor Doom 2099 may be involved in the upcoming Hellfire Gala event, while Emma Frost is speculated to be added to the Season 2 roster. Additionally, Blade is rumored to make his debut after multiple teases within the game.
Hellfire Club’s Role in Marvel Lore
The Hellfire Club first appeared in Uncanny X-Men #129 (1963), with its origins tracing back to the 18th century as an elite secret society. Over time, the group evolved into a powerful organization influencing global politics through wealth and manipulation. Among its most notable members is Emma Frost, a prominent mutant and former leader of the club.
As with any leak, this information should be taken with caution, as game development plans can change, and not all discovered content may be released. In the meantime, Season 1 continues to introduce new characters and maps. The second half of Season 1 has added Human Torch and Thing, allowing players to form a complete Fantastic Four team in Marvel Rivals. Additionally, the Convergence map, Empire of Eternal Night: Central Park, has been included in the latest update.
Further details on Marvel Rivals Season 2 are expected to be revealed closer to its official launch.
