Marvel Rivals is about to feel the rage of Ultron. The mighty Marvel villain was leaked a while ago, but new data has confirmed that he will be coming sooner than we think. Fans of the villain should rest assured, as this character will be getting the treatment he deserves.
Ultron has been a fan-favorite for a while now, proving to be the highlight of many comic stories. Fans also really enjoyed seeing this villain in Avengers: Age of Ultron, showing how charismatic and deadly the villain can be. While people do enjoy the MCU version, Rivals will give everyone a more stylized variant that should win over more fans.
So, without further ado, here’s everything we know about Ultron in Marvel Rivals.
Release date
According to RivalsLeaks on X (previously Twitter), fans will be able to use Ultron sometime in Marvel Rivals Season 1. No official release date for the Marvel villain was revealed, but enough data has confirmed that he will be coming next year. The first season will be coming out in early January.
It will be interesting to see if Ultron comes alone or not. Numerous characters have been leaked, like Reed Richards of the Fantastic Four, so he could debut with more heroes to use. Only time will tell if these leaks are true, but there’s definitely going to be a lot of interest in this character.
Abilities
The RivalsLeaks account also shared Ultron's abilities and their in-game descriptions. You can read them below:
- 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.
- Algorithm Collection (Passive): Fall slowly.
Role
According to the leaks, Ultron is going to be a Strategist in Marvel Rivals. Fans find this to be unusual since the character is known for being ruthless, but Ultron has proven to be rather smart.
Duelists and long-ranged characters have dominated the Rivals metagame, with Iron Fist and Punisher proving to be particularly troublesome. It will be interesting if Ultron launches with a major balance patch. Considering how this is a live-service shooter, we’re sure that the game will get several updates for many years.
