Ghost Rider might be a hero that we get in Marvel Rivals by the end of the year. The iconic character was spotted on the mural on the new map, which likely indicates his release in the near future. Unfortunately, the details about his release are scarce at the moment.
We can expect a couple of abilities based on Ghost Rider’s appearance in Marvel comics. They will likely include his iconic chain and the Hell Cycle, which he’ll use for attacks and mobility.
What abilities will Ghost Rider have in Marvel Rivals?
The release date of Ghost Rider in Marvel Rivals hasn’t been leaked or confirmed yet. Due to this, no one knows if or when he will come to the game. However, considering that NetEase hinted at him on the new map, the chances of him releasing are good, and we may see him within a few months.
Ghost Rider has appeared in other media, primarily comics, and thanks to this, we can predict his abilities in Marvel Rivals.
| Ability | Key | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Hellfire Chain | Left Click | Strikes enemies with a fiery chain, dealing melee damage with a burn-over-time effect |
| Chain Lash | Right Click | Launches the chain at medium range to pull enemies |
| Flame Ride | Shift | Summons Ghost Rider’s Hell Cycle, allowing him to dash forward quickly and leave a trail of fire that damages enemies |
| Penance Stare | E | Locks eyes with a single enemy, briefly stunning them and dealing damage based on the recent damage they’ve dealt |
| Spirit of Vengeance | Q (Ultimate) | Transforms Ghost Rider into his empowered form, engulfing the battlefield in hellfire, massively boosting his damage, chains extending further, and leaving burning ground wherever he moves |
It’s important to note that Ghost Rider won’t come out in Marvel Rivals soon. The release date of Daredevil has already been confirmed, as he will join the hero lineup in Season 4.5. If NetEase decides to bring Ghost Rider, it will likely be in Season 5, scheduled to begin in mid-November, or later.
Considering this timing, we should get more information about future characters as Season 5 approaches. The Marvel Rivals developer has already prepared new heroes for the next 12 months, and we can’t wait to see who we will get! A new hero will be released every month, so by the end of 2025, we will get three more characters, including Daredevil.
