Marvel Rivals Season 3 Unleashes Phoenix and Blade in “The Abyss” Showdown

Get ready for an action-packed update as Marvel Rivals launches its Season 3: The Abyss, starting July 11! This season throws players into the heart of darkness with the terrifying arrival of Knull, the symbiote god also known as the King in Black. Rising from the depths of Klyntar’s core, Knull threatens to engulf everything in his shadow, but two iconic heroes are stepping up to face the chaos.

Phoenix Lights Up the Battlefield on July 11

Leading the charge is Phoenix, joining the roster right at the start of the season. A powerful ranged Duelist, Phoenix excels at breaking enemy formations with swift, flanking movements. Her playstyle thrives on high mobility and relentless pressure against clustered foes.

Her Ultimate Ability is where she truly shines: Phoenix merges with the Phoenix Force, unleashing massive area damage and clearing all enemy summons from the arena. It’s a fiery spectacle designed to turn the tide of any battle. Check out her full character reveal in the official trailer.

Blade Slices Into the Roster in Mid-Season 3.5

Later in the season, during the 3.5 update, the daywalker himself – Blade – will enter the fray. His arrival promises another lethal option for players looking to master close-range combat and nocturnal strategy. Though details on his abilities are still under wraps, his synergy with Phoenix in this season’s story arc suggests he’ll be a force to be reckoned with.

New Features and Competitive Enhancements

Season 3 isn’t just about new heroes – it also brings major gameplay updates. Four brand-new Team-Up Abilities are being added, while two older ones will be cycled out to keep the meta fresh. Competitive players will want to watch for the new ranked mode, set to drop with the mid-season 3.5 update alongside Blade.
