A recent leak has sparked excitement among fans of Marvel Rivals, suggesting that Valkyrie may soon be added to the game’s growing lineup of characters. Launched with a roster of 33 heroes and villains from Marvel’s expansive universe, the game has left plenty of room for future updates, which players have eagerly speculated about.
The Marvel Rivals community has been buzzing with leaks revealing potential new content, including characters, maps, and unique team-up mechanics. Among the most notable teases is the rumored arrival of Deadpool, coinciding with the antihero’s return to prominence thanks to his upcoming movie. Another intriguing tidbit includes a zombified skin for Doctor Strange, inspired by his unsettling appearance in Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.
Valkyrie Rumored to Make Marvel Rivals Debut
According to Twitter user and leaker X0X_LEAK, Valkyrie will be joining Marvel Rivals as a playable character. Alongside the announcement, the leaker shared an image resembling Tessa Thompson’s portrayal of the character in the Thor: Ragnarok film. However, no further information has been disclosed about her role in the game, such as her class—whether she’ll be a Duelist, Strategist, or Vanguard—or any details regarding her abilities, release date, or the specific version of Valkyrie being introduced.
This isn’t Valkyrie’s first venture into the gaming world. The fearless Asgardian warrior has featured in other titles, including Marvel Future Fight and the LEGO Marvel Universe series, as well as animated projects like Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes and Wolverine and the X-Men. In the comics, Valkyrie has appeared in numerous iterations, ranging from classic storylines in Avengers and Thor to more contemporary versions, such as her leadership role in Fearless Defenders (2013).
If this leak proves true, Valkyrie will add another Asgardian presence to the Marvel Rivals roster, joining Thor, Loki, and Hela. These characters currently represent three distinct playstyles in the game: Thor as a Vanguard, Loki as a Strategist, and Hela as a Duelist. It’s unclear where Valkyrie will fit into this mix, but her arrival could bring exciting new gameplay dynamics.
As with all leaks, it’s wise to approach this news with skepticism until official announcements are made. While these revelations are enticing, there’s always a chance plans could change, or the rumors might turn out to be inaccurate. For now, fans can only hope to see Valkyrie officially enter the fray in Marvel Rivals soon..
