Marvel Rivals Season 4: Heart of the Dragon, The Biggest Update Yet

NetEase has officially announced that Marvel Rivals Season 4: Heart of the Dragon will launch on September 12, 2025. This new season is shaping up to be one of the game’s biggest updates, featuring new heroes, a mystical Kun-Lun map, permanent arcade modes, and various quality-of-life improvements.

What makes this release even more special is its expansion to PlayStation 4, making Marvel Rivals accessible to a broader audience beyond PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S.

New Heroes: Angela & Daredevil

Two highly anticipated heroes are joining the roster this season:

• Angela (Vanguard Class)
  The daughter of Odin and Freyja arrives wielding liquid Ichorlogam weapons that can transform into a spear, shield, or dual axes. Designed as a vanguard, she can both protect allies and deal serious damage.

• Daredevil (Duelist Class)
  Arriving in update 4.5, Daredevil uses sonar, acrobatics, and close-quarters combat. Perfect for players who enjoy fast-paced, high-risk gameplay.

New Map: Kun-Lun Heart of Heaven

Launching on September 25, 2025, Kun-Lun is a vibrant, mystical map inspired by Eastern culture. It supports the Convergence mode, a hybrid of Capture Point and Payload.

The map’s bright and spiritual atmosphere stands in sharp contrast to the darker tone of Season 3.5.

New & Reworked Arcade Modes

Season 4 introduces permanent arcade modes, meaning players can enjoy them anytime.

Highlights include:

• Free Fight Mode: Teams can duplicate heroes, with two bans each.

• Conquest (Annihilation): A race to 50 kills, winner takes all.

• Clone Rumble & Giant-Size Brain Blast: Fan-favorite modes reworked and brought back permanently.

Battle Pass: Fruit of Immortality

This season’s theme revolves around the Fruit of Immortality, inspired by Eastern mythology. Players can unlock 10 new heroic costume sets, including exclusive skins for Ultron, Mantis, and Sue Storm.

The special Scroll of the Immortal Beasts event also rewards players with the Ultron Wasteland Robot for free.

System Updates & Quality of Life

Season 4 refines gameplay with several improvements:

• Emoji Wheel Rework: Expanded usability across more in-game situations.

• Costume Rotation: Automatically shuffle your hero skins.

• Team-Up Ability Update: New synergies like Divine Armory (Angela & Thor) and Gamma Charge (Hulk, Namor, Black Panther).

Reworks also apply to heroes such as Thor, Scarlet Witch, Magik, and Psylocke for better balance.

Lore & Cinematic Expansion

Season 4 continues building the Marvel Rivals storyline with new chapters:

• Angela: Her Sister’s Keeper

• Iron Fist: One True Champion

• Loki: Destined for Doom

These updates enrich the lore, giving Marvel Rivals the feel of an authentic Marvel multiverse experience.

Final Thoughts

Marvel Rivals Season 4: Heart of the Dragon marks the game’s most ambitious update to date. With new heroes, a mystical Kun-Lun map, permanent arcade modes, and the Fruit of Immortality Battle Pass, both veterans and newcomers have plenty to look forward to in September 2025.
