Marvel Rivals latest leaks seemingly point to a possible Hellfire Gala theme for the upcoming Season 2. Many leaks have surfaced regarding this theme, along with the possibility of new X-Men members being introduced. With Season 2 expected to drop in April 2025, let’s find out what you can expect—especially regarding the leaked Hellfire Gala theme.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 Hellfire Gala Theme Leaks
Various in-game leaks and hints are pointing toward a possible Hellfire Gala theme for Season 2. On the last page of the Eternal Night Falls in-game comic, we see that Doom has successfully deceived Dracula and obtained the Pure Blood Chronovium—and that he has a Gala to attend.
Not only that, but even with the launch of the Midtown map at the start of Season 1, NetEase had already teased us with a hard-to-miss easter egg, confirming that the Hellfire Club is present in the game. For those who don’t read the comics, the Hellfire Gala is basically the Marvel Universe’s version of the Met Gala. It’s a huge party hosted by Krakoa’s Hellfire Trading Company that celebrates mutant culture with amazing fashion, important announcements, and major story developments.
The Gala debuted in Marvel Comics in 2021 and has become a yearly event where:
- Characters dress in eye-catching, fancy outfits.
- New X-Men teams are revealed.
- Game-changing events happen, like terraforming Mars in 2021.
If this leak comes true, the Hellfire Gala theme opens up possibilities for new content to be introduced in Season 2. Let’s take a look at what you can expect from it.
What to Expect in Marvel Rivals Season 2
From new X-Men characters to high-fashion skins and exciting map locations, here’s everything we expect to come in Marvel Rivals Season 2, if the Hellfire Gala theme happens:
New X-Men Characters
The biggest leak points to Emma Frost joining the roster in Season 2. This makes perfect sense for a Hellfire Gala theme since she’s a key figure in the Hellfire Club and plays a major role in the comic event. Based on leaks, the voice lines for Emma Frost have already been found in the game files.
There are also rumors that Blade might finally make his debut. He’s been spotted in several leaks, and while he’s not directly tied to the X-Men, Marvel Rivals might find a way to bring him into the Gala festivities.
New Skins
Get ready to see your favorite Marvel Rivals characters dressed in their Sunday best! The Hellfire Gala is all about fashion, so expect some seriously stylish formal-wear skins for the current roster. Dataminers have already uncovered evidence of these Gala-inspired outfits in the game files too.
Imagine characters like Iron Man, Captain America, and Storm trading their battle gear for tuxedos and gowns, especially Emma Frost!
New Maps
The Hellfire Gala theme in Marvel Rivals could introduce cool new battle spots. Krakoa, the mutant island nation, would fit perfectly, offering unique terrain and environmental features. The Hellfire Club headquarters, where Emma Frost hangs out, could also be a new map in the upcoming season. Its fancy interiors would make for some interesting fights.
Other X-Men-related locations could also be introduced, potentially drawing from iconic places in mutant lore that would complement the Gala’s atmosphere while giving players new tactical environments and choke points to master.

Story Developments
Marvel Rivals Season 2 story seems to be heating up, with Doctor Doom planning to attend the Gala. The latest Gallery Card titled Plans Within Plans reveals that “Doom has a gala to attend…” This suggests we’ll see some interesting interactions between Doom and the X-Men characters.
In the comics, the Hellfire Gala served as a meeting point between mutants and humans, often with tense political undertones. The game might explore similar themes, especially with villains like Doom in attendance.
With Marvel Rivals already breaking Steam player count records and establishing itself as a hit of 2025, Season 2 looks set to keep the momentum going with this exciting X-Men-focused update. Whether you’re a fan of Emma Frost, excited about fancy new skins, or just looking forward to new content, the Hellfire Gala season will give you plenty of reasons to keep playing Marvel Rivals when April rolls around!
