Marvel Rivals is set to ignite the gaming world once again as Season 2 launches on April 11, bringing a host of exciting updates and fresh content to the battlefield. The latest season introduces a stunning free skin for Scarlet Witch, a character renowned for her unique ability to drain opponents’ HP and unleash the devastating ultimate, Reality Erasure. This new skin—dubbed Chaos Gown—showcases a striking red dress with intricate detailing, headgear, and accessories that echo the style teased in the Season 2 trailer. It marks yet another step in evolving Wanda’s iconic look, following previous fan-favorite designs, including the one inspired by Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
In a recent announcement on Twitter, Marvel Rivals revealed an easy unlock process for this exclusive cosmetic update. Players can secure a free Scarlet Witch nameplate by participating in three matches once the season begins, and with just nine matches under their belt, they’ll earn the full Chaos Gown skin. Although the developers have not specified whether a particular game mode is required, the consensus is that all players will have a fair chance to access these rewards regardless of their preferred play style.
Season 2 isn’t just about new looks; it also brings significant gameplay tweaks aimed at sharpening the competitive edge. Scarlet Witch will see a reduction in her overall survivability, balanced by a notable boost in her effectiveness against both Strategists and Duelists. Additionally, developers are working on refining her ultimate ability to address its previous slow casting time. In an intriguing twist to team dynamics, the former Metallic Chaos team-up between Magneto and Scarlet Witch is being replaced. Now, Scarlet Witch will pair with Doctor Strange in the new Arcane Order team-up—an alliance that not only increases Doctor Strange’s health but also unlocks a fresh ability for Wanda, adding a strategic twist to every match.
Beyond character updates, Marvel Rivals is rolling out a treasure trove of battle pass skins in Season 2. The new lineup includes 10 meticulously designed cosmetics featuring popular heroes such as Black Widow and Captain America with looks inspired by the Hellfire Gala, alongside reimagined classic outfits for Magik and Psylocke reminiscent of the timeless X-Men color palette. Fans will also be thrilled to explore a brand-new map set in the mysterious realm of Krakoa, and the roster expansion is capped off with the highly anticipated introduction of Emma Frost as a playable character.
As Marvel Rivals evolves with these exciting updates, both new and veteran players can look forward to a season filled with fresh strategies, breathtaking visuals, and the continuous thrill of superhero combat.
