Marvel Rivals Season 9 was a very popular one thanks to the big Team-Up changes that totally revamped one of the game’s major systems. The totally changeds the metagame and even forced casual players to rethink their hero selections and master new and changed Team-Up abilities in every match, rather than just when their team-up anchor was present. It will be very interesting to see if the game can build on that momentum and keep the engaged community active once Season 9.5 arrives.
Very little is known about September’s Season 10.0 update at this point, but rumors and theories are sure to start arriving shortly after Season 9.5 officially launches. Be sure to check back in the near future for lots more Marvel Rivals news and updates.
