Season 5 of Marvel Rivals is almost here, and it might be one of the most exciting updates yet. NetEase has officially confirmed that Rogue and Gambit are joining the roster, bringing their fan-favorite chemistry from the comics straight into the game.
The new season kicks off on Friday, November 14, 2025, introducing new heroes, cosmetics, and a brand-new map inspired by the Collector’s Theme Park. With Gambit confirmed in the official Season 5 trailer, players are already eager to see what his abilities set will look like in-game.
In this article, we’ll cover everything you need to know about Gambit in this season: who he is, how he works in Marvel Rivals, and a full breakdown of his abilities (as far as the leaks go).
Who is Gambit in Marvel Rivals?
In the big Marvel comics universe, Gambit (also known as Remy LeBeau) is that smooth-talking thief from New Orleans who can charge objects with kinetic energy, especially playing cards, and throw them with explosive results. He’s got the charm, the trench coat, the accent, and the mutant power that lets him turn everyday objects into detonators.
In Marvel Rivals, he’s stepping in as a Strategist, which means he likely focuses on aggressive play, quick bursts of damage, and keeping opponents guessing. With his card-throwing style and kinetic energy gimmick, he brings a fresh flavour to the roster, and if the leaks are anything to go by, there’s some interesting mechanics coming his way.
