NetEase has unveiled the exciting trailer for Marvel Rivals Season 4, officially confirming the highly anticipated additions of Daredevil and Angela as new playable characters.

Season 4: Heart of the Dragon — New Heroes and Release Date
Titled “Heart of the Dragon,” Season 4 is slated to launch globally on September 12. This major update will introduce two dynamic heroes to the game’s ever-growing roster. Daredevil, famously known as “The Man Without Fear” and the protector of Hell`s Kitchen, is a widely recognized Marvel icon, bringing his unique acrobatic combat style. Joining him is Angela, a formidable Asgardian goddess, notable as the firstborn daughter of Odin and Freyja, who promises to bring her celestial powers and fierce fighting prowess to the battlefield.
The new Season 4 trailer provides a captivating glimpse of these heroes in action, showcasing an intense confrontation between Angela and Daredevil. You can watch the full reveal trailer below:
The Narrative: Iron Fist vs. Doctor Doom
While the initial clash between the new heroes is visually striking, it’s not the core focus of the season`s overarching narrative. According to a brief story summary provided by NetEase, Iron Fist and the formidable villain Doctor Doom will play pivotal roles in the “Heart of the Dragon” storyline. The official synopsis teases a grand conflict that could have cosmic implications:
“Doctor Doom aims to seize the Chronal Chi from the slumbering dragon Shou-Lao, imperiling the very destiny of the Heavens. Can Iron Fist safeguard the Immortal Dragon, or will Doom ultimately claim its immense power?”
Players can anticipate more detailed information about Season 4`s plot and comprehensive character previews closer to the official launch date, offering deeper insights into the new challenges and alliances.
Platform Expansion: PS4 Confirmed, Xbox One Excluded
The trailer explicitly confirmed PlayStation 4 as a new platform that will receive the Season 4 update, marking Marvel Rivals` expansion to last-generation consoles. This move is set to bring the superhero brawler to a wider player base. However, it`s important to note that Xbox One is not included in this expansion. This means Xbox players will continue to require an Xbox Series X|S console to experience Marvel Rivals, maintaining the next-gen requirement for that ecosystem.
