Ultron in Marvel Rivals Season 2

For many Marvel Rivals fans, the wait for the arrival of Ultron as a new playable character has felt longer than the entire span of the Infinity saga. But with Season 2.5 for Marvel Rivals fast approaching, NetEase is finally ready to show off a bit more of what players can expect from everyone’s favorite mechanized villain of chaos. In today’s Dev Vision video, NetEase showed off a teaser from the full Ultron character trailer, and we’ve got to say, he looks pretty good. Ultron will officially arrive on May 30th with the start of Season 2.5, and he’s bringing a new map along with him.

Today’s Marvel Rivals Dev Vision video is all about the kick-off of Season 2.5, and that means more info on Ultron and other new features arriving with the mid-season update. For a look at the Ultron footage shared during the Dev Vision, check out the video below. We’ve got it set to start right at the Ultron talk timestamp.

As shared during the Dev Vision, Ultron is confirmed as a Strategist character, offering healing alongside damage-dealing energy beams. His weapon is billed as an “all-new shooting experience.” And yes, he will be able to fly, making him our first fully airborne Strategist. For players who’ve been waiting to see a new Strategist introduced, Ultron might not have been the obvious choice, but he’s the one we’re getting.

Throughout the Dev Vision video, we get an even deeper look at Ultron in action.
