Marvel Rivals season 4 preview: Kun’Lun lore leak, Daredevil and Angela hints, and incoming skins ⇒ MarvelRivalsHub

Season 4 is almost here, and a fresh batch of leaks paints a clear picture of where Marvel Rivals is headed next. We have a new lore snippet pointing to Kun’Lun, a likely hero lineup featuring Angela and Daredevil, a shop rotation with Peni Parker’s Wasteland mech, and a long list of upcoming skins that should land during season 4.

season 4 lore leak – Kun’Lun crisis and Shol asleep

A new in-game text string leaked by XOX Leak frames the season’s setup:
“Shol has fallen into slumber. And Kun’an faces an unprecedented crisis. Yet you stand fearless…”

Shol asleep – Shol is the dragon tied to Kun’Lun’s power. His slumber aligns with earlier leaks about an escort payload that delivers a tablet to Shol to stabilize the city.
Doctor Doom involvement – Prior voice lines suggest Doom is meddling around Kun’Lun.
“Fearless” nod – The phrasing “you stand fearless” looks like a deliberate Daredevil wink. In the season 3.5 gallery, Dizang is revealed to be Daredevil, now ruling the Eighth City as a sanctuary during the timestream entanglement merging the Seven Cities of Heaven.

heroes likely for season 4 – angel and devil

Angela appears poised to arrive first. The season 3.5 gallery teased that Hela’s kin would deliver justice, and Angela is Odin’s firstborn with direct ties to Heaven and Kun’Lun.
Daredevil looks like the second hero. The Dizang reveal, the fearless language, and multiple Daredevil mentions across files and voice lines strongly point to his debut.
Roles that make sense
- Angela – vanguard candidate the roster needs
- Daredevil – duelist with heightened senses-themed detection (file strings mention spherical clipping)

map and mode – Kun’Lun escort to Shol

Voice lines on the Kun’Lun map reference escorting a tablet to Shol, while Doctor Doom schemes in the background. Expect an escort variant built around that objective and a season arc that threads through the Seven Cities of Heaven, with the Eighth City continuing as a sanctuary setting.

Sample location chatter from the leak: Iron Fist guiding visitors through Kun’Lun, Venom promising “devouring,” Namor comparing Kun’Lun to Wakanda, and Strange sensing something sinister under the city.

this week’s timeline – trailer and hero reveal cadence

Season 4 trailer – targeted for September 2, mirroring the season 3 schedule
First hero drop – typically arrives mid-week after the trailer
Season start – previously signaled for September 12

shop rotation – Peni Parker Wasteland mech

A new legendary Peni Parker Wasteland mech skin is entering the shop rotation. The mech carries a chunky transformer vibe with weathered detailing befitting the Wasteland theme. Expect a short trailer to accompany the drop.

upcoming skins – originals, comics, movies, and recolors

These are present in the game files but not yet released, which makes them strong candidates for season 4. As always, final timing can shift.

Rivals original skins

Luna Snow, Hela, Groot, Loki, Thor, Jeff, Hawkeye, Ultron

Comic skins

Spider-Man, Invisible Woman
Punisher – swimsuit special
Human Torch – swimsuit special
- Wave 2 of Summer Party is slated for season 4, so expect these to align with that event

Movie skins

Captain America, Rocket Raccoon – details TBA

Recolors – these are rare-tier base variants that often show up as event rewards or Twitch drops

Luna Snow, Captain America, Spider-Man, Invisible Woman, Mantis, Star-Lord, Magneto, Punisher, Blade

new cosmetic types – ult effects and kill effects

The files also hint at new cosmetic layers beyond skins:

Ultimate effects – for Rocket Summer, Hela Queen in Black, and Rocket Bounty Hunter
Kill effects – feed pop-ups for singles and multi-kills, seen on Magik Eldritch Armor, Luna Snow Cool Summer, and Jeff Sunshine

These would expand the cosmetic ecosystem with visual flair during eliminations and ult usage.
