Marvel Rivals Launches Symbiote-Themed Season 3 With New Heroes, Skins

Marvel Rivals Season 3, titled The Abyss Awakens, launches on July 11, 2025, introducing a symbiote-themed update featuring new playable heroes Phoenix and Blade. The season's Battle Pass includes 10 new sets of hero skins, such as the highly anticipated Symbiote Spider-Man skin and the iconic 'Evil Dance' emote inspired by Spider-Man 3, alongside other symbiote-themed skins for characters like Jeff the Land Shark, Captain America, Wolverine, Magik, and Hela. The update also brings a new Domination map, gameplay balance changes, and persistent Weekly Missions, replacing Daily Missions to better suit the shorter season duration. Notably, Squirrel Girl's Symbiote skin has sparked community reactions due to the unique design of a venom mouth located on her tail, which has divided player opinions. Additionally, new cosmetics called "accessories" are being introduced, expanding customization options for players. This season continues to expand the game's roster and content while maintaining a focus on fan-favorite characters and symbiote lore centered around the god Knull.
