Whoa, okay, so Marvel Rivals is at it again! Season 3 is rolling in soon, like a freight train carrying a ton of new stuff. Seriously, tons. Can we talk about the timing first? July 11th at 2 am PT. Not exactly a reasonable hour for mere mortals, but hey, that’s what caffeine’s for, right? Anyway, servers will be down for a couple of hours during the update. No biggie if you’re a night owl or, like me, just forget to sleep sometimes.
But what really caught my eye is the new character—Jean Grey. She’s back with all her Phoenix Force glory. The ultimate move sounds… intense? Epic? Pick a word that fits because it’s probably all the above. And then there’s this new map, Klyntar: Celestial Husk. I’m not great with geography in-game or out, but it sounds pretty galactic.
I kinda giggled at the mention of a free Symbiote Storm skin during the Milano Repair Logs event. Freebies always make the day better, don’t they? Oh, and college students snagging free skins with their school emails? Who knew education could literally pay off in cool costumes.
Now for the patch notes, which are about as long as a novel—well, a novella, maybe. They’re ditching daily missions but beefing up the weekly ones. Is it just me, or do most of us forget about those daily tasks anyway? Plus, they’re making mission types more interesting, which might keep things fresh when you’d rather hit your head on the desk than do another unimaginative quest.
Balancing characters is happening too. Spidey and Mr. Fantastic are getting tweaked, along with others. Fair play and no glitches sound dreamy, except for those who live to exploit bugs (you know who you are).
Anyway, how about the event? Milano Repair Logs. Honestly, it gives me this vibe that you’re patching up the Millennium Falcon. Different universe, but one can muse, right?
Finally, one last quirky note—the Constant Costume Chaos! I mean, they’re revamping costume features like nobody’s business. Mix and match with newfound freedom or obsess over the color details. Maybe both. It’s a blast to keep tweaking.
Season 3 seems like a full plate of madness, wrapped in cosmic epicness. Can’t wait to dive in, though I’ll probably just paddle around like an excitable dog in shallow water. Taking it all in, chaotically and without a clue. Fun times.
