Marvel Rivals Adds Krakoa Map in Hellfire Gala Update Featuring Emma Frost and Ultron
Drawing from the widely-praised Hellfire Gala of Marvel Comics, this Krakoa map is a feast for the eyes. With a setting on the living island of Krakoa, it’s a decorative and verdant space for a drama-filled battleground, decorated with luxurious decor, floating lights, and foliage. Not only does this new environment add some fresh visual flair, but it also alters the dynamics of movement and strategy during the matches as well.
The gala setting quickly descends into chaos as Ultron invades the celebration, bringing his army of sentries to disrupt the peace. There are also two new playable characters: Emma Frost and Ultron. Vanguard heroes are Emma Frost, who fights with psychic shields and crystallizes into her diamond body to add defense and support to teams.
Ultron is a healing-centric Strategist who calls on drones and can offer support to close and mid-combat allies. The update also includes Hellfire Gala-themed skins for a number of heroes, most prominently a super glamorous “Chaos Gown” for Scarlet Witch.
As a new, weekly missions, updated competitive systems, and seasonal progression mechanics will also be introduced to keep new casual and competitive play fresh. With the Hellfire Gala update, Marvel Rivals elevates both style and stakes.
The Krakoa map adds narrative depth and visual uniqueness, while Emma Frost and Ultron expand tactical options for teams. Whether you’re fighting for fashion or survival, Season 2 promises an unforgettable experience rooted in one of Marvel’s most beloved mutant traditions.
