A new leak suggests X-Men’s Armor may soon join Marvel Rivals as a melee Vanguard hero. Learn about her leaked abilities, role, and what her inclusion could mean for the game’s meta.
There have been leaks indicating the soon-to-arrive inclusion of a new playable character in the highly expected team shooter, Marvel Rivals. From a credible source within the game community, Armor — a less popular yet formidable member of the X-Men — can reportedly join the expanding list of heroes soon. The development has created great anticipation, especially among gamers who enjoy tank-style characters in multiplayer games.
Armor, whose actual name is Hisako Ichiki, made her first appearance in Marvel Comics during the early 2000s. She has the power to generate a psionic exoskeleton that amplifies her physical strength and offers a formidable layer of protection. In Marvel Rivals, the figure should be categorized as being of the Vanguard role, with a concentration on soaking up damage and protecting teammates in intense battles. This leak has stoked rumors that the developers want to offer more varied gameplay options for teams that need a tough frontline presence.
This rumored addition is in line with Marvel Rivals' continued practice of adding both popular fan icons and lesser-seen heroes from within the Marvel universe. It shows NetEase's and Marvel Games' commitment to further developing strategic depth in gameplay as well as presenting a more comprehensive narrative and lore experience. By highlighting underrepresented characters such as Armor, the game not only adds character diversity but also encourages players to further discover Marvel's vast universe.
As players eagerly await further news regarding the character, the leak also showed that the developers intend to release a new character every month, starting from Season 3. Despite the lack of official confirmation on Armor's release, the hype around her indicates considerable interest from the community. If confirmed, Armor's release may be a game-changer in the meta of the game, possibly changing team compositions and combat strategies.
