NetEase has confirmed Jubilee and The Hood as new playable heroes for Marvel Rivals Season 9, which launches later this week. The additions expand the hero roster, offering players new tactical options and character choices for the team-based brawler.
NetEase officially revealed the new heroes for Marvel Rivals Season 9 after keeping players in the dark for weeks. Both Jubilee and The Hood will join the game’s existing lineup as the season begins. Jubilee, a mutant recognized for her ability to generate pyrotechnic energy bursts, brings a ranged damage profile to the hero shooter. The Hood, a street-level criminal with acquired mystical powers, is expected to offer a unique blend of offensive and utility capabilities to team compositions.
The publisher had previously maintained secrecy around the identities of the upcoming characters. This approach built anticipation within the Marvel Rivals community, leading to various player theories and discussions across online forums. The confirmation of Jubilee and The Hood provides concrete details for players planning their strategies for the new season.
