A recent leak hints that Arakko might be the next map introduced in Season 2 of Marvel Rivals, drawing inspiration from the comics. The insider known as X0X_LEAK has provided details about Arakko’s lore entries within the game files, suggesting a storyline involving an attack from Ultron.
Given Arakko’s significance in mutant lore, particularly in relation to Krakoa, this rumor appears quite credible. Currently, Marvel Rivals boasts a total of 15 maps, with initial locations focused on Yggsgard, including Yggdrasill Path and the Royal Palace.
These settings explore key areas of Asgard. In Season 1, NetEase added maps such as the Sanctum Sanctorum and Midtown, depicting the chaos resulting from Dracula’s invasion.
The latest leaks indicate that another iconic comic location, Arakko, could soon be included. Reputable leaker X0X_LEAK has speculated that Arakko may debut as the second map in Season 2.
They pointed out new lore entries about an attack on Krakoa, led by Ultron, who takes Cerebro and heads to Arakko. Another entry suggests that mutants in Krakoa have lost contact with those in Arakko, raising concerns about its current location—even the Intergalactic Empire of Wakanda cannot determine where it is.
This information has also been corroborated by Miller Ross, another leaker known for providing reliable Marvel Rivals updates. It is anticipated that the new map will make its debut on May 30, along with Ultron and the mid-season update.
Historically, Arakko was a sister nation to Krakoa, originating from the sentient island of Okkara. After an attack led by the demon god Annihilation, Okkara was divided, with Arakko being sealed off by its leader, Apocalypse, to safeguard against further demonic advances.
While the leaks should be approached cautiously, Arakko’s importance to the narrative of Krakoa suggests a high likelihood of this rumor materializing into reality. In the meantime, players can experience a new map introduced at the start of Season 2: Krakoa.
This lush landscape hosts the Hellfire Gala and is available in Domination mode, where gamers can fight to control strategic points, including notable landmarks like the statue of Professor X.
