When Does Ultron Come to Marvel Rivals?

Ultron joins Marvel Rivals in the mid-season Season 2.5 update on May 30, 2025. This highly anticipated release will mark his first appearance as a playable character in the game

Release Timing

Ultron will be available as part of the free update launching on May 30. This aligns with the typical mid-season cycle. He is arriving roughly seven weeks after the start of Season 2. Players can expect him to go live with server updates depending on time zones.

Character Role and Abilities

Ultron enters the game as a Strategist hero. His kit includes high mobility and the ability to fly. He’s also expected to offer healing support and deploy drones in battle. These features make him an ideal support option, especially when paired with airborne heroes like Iron Man.

In-Game Availability

Ultron will be released alongside a new map called Arakko. He follows the recent addition of Emma Frost, who launched with Season 2’s Hellfire Gala event. Strategist heroes, like Ultron, are focused more on utility and team coordination rather than direct combat.

How to Unlock Ultron

Ultron will be purchasable in the game’s shop at launch. Players will likely be able to unlock him using Lattice or Units, the game’s premium currencies. He may also appear in a special bundle featuring themed cosmetics, similar to other hero releases.

Fan Expectations and Reaction

Players have been waiting for Ultron since his delay during Season 1. Early hype suggests he could make a major impact on the current meta. His unique blend of flight, healing, and tactical support adds a fresh playstyle to team compositions.
