If we were to consider season 1.5, it was released on Feb. 21, exactly six weeks (1.5 months) after the season one update that went live on Jan. 10. Season one ended on April 11, paving the way for season two.

Based on the trend and according to reliable sources, season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals will release on May 30 (seven weeks into season two). To make things easier, here’s a countdown to help you keep track.

Everything we know about Marvel Rivals season 2.5 so far

NetEase is yet to officially unveil everything that season 2.5 has in store for us, but we’ve already got some teasers. There are plenty of leaks you can pick up on to fuel your speculation, too.

For starters, Ultron—a powerful supervillain from the Marvel Universe—is going to be the star of the upcoming mid-season update. According to leaks, he’s joining the roster as a Strategist hero who’ll offer significant support and defense capabilities as well as damage potential.

Other leaks have teased the arrival of a new map named Arakko with season 2.5. Unlike Krakoa, Arakko will be a Convoy map: You’ll be required to escort a moving vehicle to the end for a win.
