Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals is around the corner, and NetEase has finally released the trailer for Ultron, the next playable character coming to the game.
The villain's design was officially revealed at the start of the season, but this new trailer shows us how he will look in-game, along with his abilities. We have a summary of all the important information about the character so you can prepare for its arrival.
Release date
Ultron is scheduled to come out on Friday, May 30th, the same day Season 2.5 begins.
Before its release, the game's server will go down for maintenance at 2:00 AM PT (9:00 AM BST). This maintenance is expected to last between 2 to 3 hours, and after that, players will be able to install and enjoy the new content.
Trailer
Here is the official gameplay trailer for Ultron, which showcases the character's abilities in-game so we can get a good look at how it will work:
Abilities and role
As expected, Ultron will be part of the Strategist group of characters. While we wait for the official description, here is the list of abilities that was previously leaked:
- Encephalo Ray (Attack): Unleash a burning energy beam.
- Rage of Ultron: Summons Ultron drones to attack enemies and heal allies.
- Dynamic Flight: Fly around the arena.
- Imperative Patch: Summons a drone that can follow and heal allies.
- Imperative Firewall: Summons a firewall that can heal nearby allies.
- Ultimate ability: Summon several drones that will fire alongside him.
- Algorithm Collection (Passive): Fall slowly.
Team-Up
At launch, Ultron will feature only one Team-Up ability called Stark Protocol. Just like the name indicates, a team would need an Iron Man and an Ultron for this Team-Up to activate.
Here is the official description:
- As the Team-Up anchor, Iron Man gains a 5% boost in damage output.
- Ultron gains a new Nano-Ray ability from his Team-Up with Iron Man.
