Marvel Rivals Season 5 Leaks Reveals Rogue & Gambit As New Heroes

What happens when romance steps into a battlefield? And who better to embody that balance of chaos and passion than two of Marvel’s most iconic mutants? The leaks for Marvel Rivals Season 5 suggest that love is about to take center stage, and it comes with faces players have been waiting to see.

The X-Men power couple, Rogue and Gambit, have surfaced once again in a string of lore teases, voice line leaks, and thematic hints that line up too neatly to ignore. After months of speculation, the cards may finally be on the table for Season 5’s roster. Continue reading to find out more about what Marvel Rivals leaks suggest.

Clues That Point to Marvel Rivals Rogue and Gambit Leaked

The strongest evidence of Marvel Rivals Rogue and Gambit leaked comes from the theme itself. Reliable leaker X0XLeak, who accurately revealed the K’un-Lun angle for Season 4, stated in July that Season 5 would center around “love and the eternal touch of romance.” It is the perfect setup for characters whose storylines are built on one of Marvel’s most famous relationships.

Supporting this claim, lore text involving the Grandmaster was recently leaked. In his letter to Shou-Lao, he refers to cards, chi, and the risk of life force being drained. These are clear references to Gambit’s explosive card abilities and Rogue’s power-absorbing touch. Previous seasons have followed the same pattern, with Phoenix teased through “primal force” references before her official debut.

Voice-over leaks add even more credibility. Black Widow reportedly mentions Rogue’s engagement ring, while Storm talks about Gambit’s past. These interactions appear to be targeted dialogue rather than random filler, a consistent sign that the characters are on the way. Compared to other leaked names like Captain Marvel, Deadpool, or MODOK, only Rogue and Gambit fit the romantic theme of Season 5.

Roles and What to Expect in Season 5

Speculation on their gameplay roles is already circulating. Rogue is believed to be a strategist, with theories suggesting she could have life-steal mechanics similar to Overwatch’s Brigitte, tying directly into her comic ability to absorb powers and strength. Gambit, on the other hand, is expected to be a Duelist, using card-based projectiles and agile movement to pressure opponents. However, the Duelist roster is already crowded, so developers might adapt him into a hybrid or alternate role.

Beyond the mechanics, the choice of Rogue and Gambit makes thematic sense. Their romance has been central to the X-Men comics for decades, culminating in marriage and multiple spin-off stories. Season 5, built around romance, is a natural place to introduce them as a pair. With early streamers leaking lore text and VO files lining up with past patterns, this looks like one of the most convincing leak trails so far.

For now, nothing will be official until the end of Season 4’s K’un-Lun arc. But when combining the theme, lore clues, and character interactions, Rogue and Gambit’s arrival in Marvel Rivals Season 5 feels almost certain. The couple brings both dynamic weight and unique combat potential, giving players plenty to look forward to when the next chapter begins.
