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 in the future.
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
After rumors claimed that Ultron would be a season 1 character, Marvel Rivals fans were shocked to see Mr. Fantastic and Invisible Woman debut before him. With Human Torch and the Thing scheduled to release in the second half of Season 1, it’s clear that plans for Ultron have changed. MarvelRivalLeak claims that Ultron will now be released in the second half of Season 2.
Fans should take this with a grain of salt since this is all based on supposed development data for the character. Depending on the season’s theme, we might see this character in a much later season. Only time will tell when Ultron comes to the game, though enough leaks suggest that it’s a matter of when rather than if.
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.
