This naturally drew concerns from players with less storage space or limited internet bandwidth, as they reportedly had problems downloading the new update.

Others have remained excited about the new features introduced inMarvel RivalsSeason 2, and this latest update retains that hype thanks to the impending arrival of Ultron and the new gameplay tweaks. Many rumors are already trying to predict thenextMarvel Rivalsseason, which some think is going to be centered around Knull and the Symbiotes, and that characters like Captain America and Storm could be getting Symbiote-themed skins to go with it.
