Marvel Rivals Season 5 Trailer Teases Rogue and Gambit With Big X-Men '97 Energy — And Possibly the Original Voice Actors

All eyes on November 14—the day the next big story drops and the stakes come into focus.

Marvel Rivals finally stopped flirting and made it official: Rogue and Gambit are crashing Season 5. After a few days of winking teases, NetEase Games dropped a new trailer that basically spells it out in giant neon letters. It is also called "Love is a Battlefield," because of course it is.

What the trailer actually confirms

• Rogue and Gambit are the headliners for Marvel Rivals Season 5, confirmed in the new "Love is a Battlefield" trailer.
• They look and sound like their X-Men '97 counterparts, with Lenore Zann (Rogue) and A.J. LoCascio (Gambit) on voice duty.
• Season 5 lands November 14, according to the trailer.
• No gameplay showcase for either character yet; their kits are still a mystery.
• Typical pattern for this game: one of the two new seasonal heroes arrives with the big update, the other shows up a few weeks later. No word on which of the two drops first.

Fans noticed the details (and are very into it)

The reaction has been loud and very all-caps. Players are especially happy that NetEase stuck close to the X-Men '97 look and sound instead of radically redesigning them like we have seen with some other heroes (Daredevil got name-checked a lot). One comment summed up the vibe pretty cleanly:

"IT'S THE SAME VOICE ACTORS FROM X-MEN '97"

Elsewhere, someone yelled "OMG I'M IN LOVE!" and another person joked "We are so back, but we never left." Internet poetry.

About those kits we did not see

The trailer cuts before we get any combat or abilities, so for now it is all speculation. The safe bet: Gambit tossing charged playing cards as projectiles. Role-wise, fans are guessing Rogue and Gambit could land in either Vanguard or Duelist, depending on how aggressive or team-frontline their kits end up being. We will not know until gameplay shows up.

Bottom line

Season 5 hits November 14 with the franchise's favorite troublemakers joining the roster. If we get to pick who arrives first, I am voting Rogue. But either way, the X-couple energy is about to be loud.
