Marvel Rivals has just pulled back the curtain on its Season 4 lineup, and the biggest news is the arrival of two new heroes. Asgardian warrior Angela and street-level vigilante Daredevil are officially joining the roster, marking a major shake-up for the game’s meta.
The new trailer dropped on September 3, giving fans their first proper look at both characters. Angela and Daredevil face off in a cinematic battle, teasing how they might play once Season 4 launches on September 12.
Who is Angela?
Angela comes straight out of Marvel’s Asgardian lore. Known as the daughter of Odin and Freyja, she’s a fierce warrior queen with raw strength and durability that rivals Thor. In Marvel Rivals, Angela is taking on the role of a Vanguard, meaning she’ll be the one diving into fights and absorbing damage for her team.

What makes her stand out is that she’s the game’s first proper flying tank. Her abilities, as shown in the trailer and dev breakdown, include a spear-throwing attack, a defensive shield to parry incoming damage, and dual axes for melee combat. Visually, she’s decked out in golden armour with a striking feathered headdress and a single wing, staying true to her comic book roots but with a more stylised in-game twist.
Who is Daredevil?
On the other side of the showdown is Daredevil, one of Marvel’s most recognisable street heroes. By day, Matt Murdock works as a lawyer in New York. By night, he takes on crime as Daredevil, using his heightened senses and martial arts mastery to make up for his blindness.

In Marvel Rivals, Daredevil looks set to fill the Duelist (DPS) role. His toolkit is all about agility, speed and relentless offence. The trailer hints at rapid close-range combos and acrobatic movement, making him a strong counter against more static heroes. He keeps his iconic red suit, with a few stylistic tweaks to fit Rivals’ art style.
A Quick Look at Other Season 4 Updates
While the two heroes are the big headliners, Season 4 is also packed with extras. A new Convergence map called Heart of Heaven will expand the Asgardian theme, Arcade Mode is adding new ways to play, and the fan-favourite Summer Swimsuit skins are back for another round. Esports fans also have the Ignite Stage 2 schedule to look forward to, keeping the competitive scene alive and well.

When is Marvel Rivals Season 4 Releasing?
Marvel Rivals Season 4, officially titled The Heart of the Dragon, launches on Friday, September 12, 2025. Angela and Daredevil might not both be available at launch, as past seasons have staggered hero releases, but players can expect them to make an impact throughout the update.
Why This Matters
Every new hero in Marvel Rivals has the potential to shift the balance of power, and with Angela and Daredevil arriving, the game’s landscape is about to change once again. Angela adds much-needed depth to the tank role, while Daredevil brings another high-skill, fast-paced DPS option. Whether you’re a casual fan or follow the esports scene closely, Season 4 is shaping up to be one of the game’s most exciting updates yet.
