The updates will introduce Emma Frost as the playable Vanguard-class hero. It will bring her diamond form and mind-control abilities right to the battlefield. As for her Psionic Seduction Ultimate, it will disrupt enemies by locking abilities and pulling them right to her.


The new Domination map— Hellfire Gala: Krakoa, is also about to debut. It will bring fresh tactical opportunities. Additionally, the Season 2 Battle Pass comes with emotes, exclusive skins, and other cosmetics. While some of them are free, the others are locked behind the premium tiers.



How to prepare for an upcoming update?

While the servers are down, the players could,

• Pre-download the patch (if it is available) to jump into the game faster.
  
• Check the official X or Discord account of Marvel Rivals to get some real-time updates.
  
• Plan the new team comps, around the abilities of Emma Frost.
  

After the maintenance ends, you can expect a surge of players trying to test new content. So, matchmaking might be a bit slower than it is usually.


While NetEase aims for a smoother rollout, be prepared for some unexpected delays. If the servers remain down after the said timeline, players can see some extended compensation rewards like bonus Battle Pass XP or the in-game currency to make up for inconvenience, by the developers.
