NetEase has announced that Black Cat will release as a new character in Marvel Rivals alongside season 7.5 on April 17. Erica Lindbeck will voice the upcoming duelist.
Black Cat utilizes her abilities to quickly attack enemies from far away. Further, after every kill, she collects a currency that can be used to temporarily purchase/steal skills from her opponents. Season 7.5 will also bring new costumes for Spider-Man and Black Cat herself when it starts this Friday.
On April 23, the PvE Blood Hunt mode will return with new features, alongside new Hellfire Gala costumes for Gambit, Magik, Emma Frost, Jean Grey, and Moon Knight. On April 30, the previously announced “Path to Doomsday” event will kick off with a new mode themed around the original Avengers movie.
