Marvel Rivals Season 3 Unveils Epic Jean Gray Gameplay ⇒ MarvelRivalsHub

New map Clintar Celestial Husk in Marvel Rivals season 3

Marvel Rivals season 3 is set to reshape the game with a ton of new content and updates coming every two months including the epic Jean Gray gameplay. One of the biggest highlights is the introduction of the Clintar Celestial Husk map. This battleground is set inside the massive, fallen body of a Celestial. Players will face the threat of All Black, the Necro Sword, in what is expected to be a Domination-style map.

The design of this location encourages creative strategies, with verticality and tight corridors inside the Celestial’s remains. Sightlines and flanking routes will change how teams fight for control points. This map is not just visually stunning but offers fresh tactical layers that reward coordination and smart play.

Jean Gray joins Marvel Rivals as a high-mobility duelist

Arguably the most exciting news is the debut of Jean Gray gameplay in season 3. Fans have long speculated about her arrival, but now it is official. She will be a ranged duelist, specializing in high mobility to disrupt enemy formations from unexpected angles.

Jean Gray’s core mechanic is the chain reaction system that links her human form abilities to her Phoenix form flying alongside her. This lets her combine attacks for even more damage, as seen in the teaser where her abilities sync perfectly.

Her ultimate ability merges her with the Phoenix Force, delivering massive burst damage while clearing all enemy summons from the field. This will make her especially effective against characters who rely on deployable abilities or pets.

She retains her iconic design, with both human and Phoenix forms on display in her animations. This faithful representation is sure to be popular with fans who have waited a long time to see the Phoenix join the roster.

New teamups and ability changes expand gameplay depth

Season 3 also introduces four new teamups while removing two older ones to keep things balanced. One standout is Primal Flame, where Jean Gray anchors Wolverine and upgrades his Feral Leap. This ability will now inflict burning damage and grant life steal on impact, making Wolverine even tougher in close-quarters combat.

Another highlight is the Ever Burning Bond between Human Torch and Spider-Man. Human Torch is the anchor, granting Spider-Man a new flaming web ability that attaches a burning tracer to enemies. This tracer works seamlessly with Spider-Man’s “Get Over Here” move, letting him swing in for bonus burn damage. The flaming web also causes area damage, giving Spider-Man brand-new combo potential.

Existing teamups will see changes as well. Hela will join Venom in the Symbiote Shenanigans teamup. Her soul drainer explosion will now release venom tendrils that grab and slow enemies, adding more crowd-control options.

Squirrel Girl will be teaming up with Iron Man, gaining a nanotech gauntlet that launches a squirrel toward enemies, exploding on impact for solid damage.

Meanwhile, older teamups like Storm-Torch and Squirrel Girl-Spider-Man will be removed to streamline choices and improve game balance.

Major balance updates coming in season 3

The developers are also planning a range of balance updates to keep the gameplay fair and exciting. Emma Frost is getting a nerf, while Venom and The Thing will see buffs. The Thing gains a new Battle Blitz ability, letting him jump directly to an enemy and use Stone Haymaker mid-air. This combo move will even knock flying heroes out of the sky.

Iron Man will get a reduction to his poke potential, reflecting the dominance of flying characters. Punisher’s ultimate will charge more slowly, and Mr. Fantastic will be less tanky in his inflated state.

On the buff side, Neymar’s primary attack and Scarlet Witch’s ultimate will get improvements. Mantis will have better healing and utility to offer more flexible team options.

Other changes include boosting Invisible Woman’s healing while reducing Loki’s ultimate charge rate. Ultron will also see a nerf to reduce his power in competitive matches.

New battle pass features and mission updates

The battle pass will remain at 10 costumes without any price increase, but Chrono Tokens will be easier to earn to account for shorter seasons. Daily missions will be removed, and weekly missions will now be persistent for the entire season. This way, players can complete them on their own schedule without feeling rushed.

Season missions will also be added, giving players big rewards for completing challenges throughout the entire season. This update aims to make progression more flexible and fun.

Fresh customization and quality-of-life improvements

Customization is getting even better in season 3. Accessories will be introduced for heroes like Winter Soldier, Psylocke, Groot, Rocket Raccoon, Jeff the Land Shark, Invisible Woman, Emma Frost, and Spider-Man. These cute keychain-style items can be earned for free through gameplay, giving players more ways to personalize their favorite heroes.

Players can also unlock new “ultimate V effects” for skins. These effects only appear on your screen and do not affect others, keeping the competitive experience fair. Unlocking these customizations can be done through the battle pass and special events.

Additional improvements include the ability to mix and match MVP animations without being locked to specific skins. New backgrounds will let players customize their lobby screen based on their favorite skins. The gallery will be upgraded with a new cinematics section, letting fans rewatch map cutscenes at any time.

A better events tab will make finding challenges easier, while the post-match screen will now show event and challenge progress clearly.

Verified university students will also enjoy costume trials in season 3, with access to 10 costumes and MVP animations in the US, UK, and more regions soon.

Finally, Discord integration will be improved so players can chat with friends and invite them to matches directly through Marvel Rivals.
