Marvel Rivals Season 4: Everything You Need to Know About the Massive New Update

Originally posted on Total Apex Gaming | By Dennis Limmer | Last updated Sep 4, 2025 1:58 AM ET

Marvel Rivals season 4 is back with its biggest content drop yet. Season 4, officially titled “Heart of the Dragon”, is just around the corner with a confirmed release date of September 12th, and it promises to be an absolute game-changer. From new heroes to fresh maps, battle pass content, and surprising platform updates, here’s a full breakdown of everything you need to know.

Angela and Daredevil Join the Fight

The biggest headline for Season 4 is the introduction of two iconic characters: Angela and Daredevil.

Angela will debut first and is expected to be a Vanguard hero, judging by her armored, powerhouse design seen in the cinematic trailer.

Daredevil will arrive later in Season 4.5, and while many speculate he’ll be a DPS, some clues suggest he could also have support-oriented abilities. A cryptic moment in the trailer shows him “unleashing the devil,” possibly hinting at a marking mechanic tied to his ultimate.

The NetEase designs have stirred some debate among fans — Angela’s has been praised, while Daredevil’s more heavily-armored look is proving a bit divisive. There’s hope for a more classic comic-inspired skin down the line.

New Maps and Game Modes Incoming

Confirmed New Map: Loon

Launching with Season 4

Full reveal trailer expected closer to release

Leaked Map: Mavith

Revealed in the official Marvel Rivals art book

Expected to introduce a Capture the Flag mode

Might drop in either Season 4 or 4.5

Battle Pass: “Fruit of Immortality”

Leaked details from a Russian Discord group give us a sneak peek into the Season 4 Battle Pass, including some eye-catching potential skins:

Mecha Knight Moon Knight

Dark Phoenix (Jean Grey)

Loki skin featuring red feather elements

Ultron joining the Wastelanders skin line

The battle pass is themed around myth, power, and transformation, aligning well with the “Heart of the Dragon” aesthetic.

New Team-Ups Rumored

Two new team-up combos may so be coming in Season 4:

Human Torch, Black Panther, and Psylocke

Venom and Captain America

The second team-up makes particular sense, as Cap recently received a Klyntar-themed skin, indicating deeper lore or synergy.

PS4 Surprise Launch

In one of the most unexpected reveals, Marvel Rivals season 4 is officially coming to PS4. Initially leaked via a PlayStation datamine, the announcement has now been confirmed by the Season 4 trailer.

While performance concerns are real, it’s still great news for fans on last-gen consoles.

Quickplay Overhaul

A new Quickplay mode is also expected in Season 4, rumored to allow multiple instances of the same hero on one team — a big shift from the current format. More details from NetEase should surface soon.

New Patch Drops Thursday (300MB)

Alongside all the major reveals, Marvel Rivals season 4 is also rolling out a 300MB update on Thursday, in line with regular patches, focused on:

Bug fixes (especially terrain collision issues)

Balance changes, including:

Fixing a bug that caused Doctor Strange and Emma Frost to deal excessive damage to Blade

General tweaks across all platforms

This is part of a regular cadence of updates to polish gameplay across the board.

Final Season 3.5 Skin: Penny Parker Wasteland Mech

Before Marvel Rivals season 4 kicks off, we’re getting one last treat: the Penny Parker Wasteland Mech skin.

Part of the “Wastelanders” theme

Features an original design praised by the community

Available for 1,600 units (Epic rarity)

Sets the tone for upcoming Wasteland skins, including Ultron’s debut later in Season 4

What’s Next: Season 5 Teases

If the recent leaks continue to hold true (and they have so far), Season 5 could introduce fan-favorites Gambit and Rogue to the roster. That would bring the total hero count up to 45, just months after launch — a remarkable pace for any hero-based game.

Marvel Rivals Season 4 Final Thoughts

From new heroes and maps to a bold PS4 expansion and fresh gameplay modes, Season 4 is shaping up to be Marvel Rivals’ most ambitious update yet. Whether you’re excited to smash through enemies as Angela, mark your foes with Daredevil’s devilish powers, or explore the “Heart of the Dragon” theme, there’s something here for everyone.

So mark your calendars for September 12th, and gear up — because Marvel Rivals Season 4 is going to be major.
