What to expect in Marvel Rivals Season 8

The biggest addition to Marvel Rivals in Season 8 is Devil Dinosaur, a new prehistoric vanguard. This red T.rex-like dinosaur will literally shake the battlefield as he stomps, leaps, and bites his way through the enemy team. However, that’s not all, as Devil Dinosaur can deploy a shield and emit a laser from his mouth. Back liners will have to keep their distance as this mighty beast can eat you up and spit you out into their team, which will lead to a swift death.

Other than Devil Dinosaur, the Season 8 update introduces a couple new features:

• College students can use their university email to unlock 10 skins.
• PC players can now uninstall the high-resolution texture pack to free up disk space.
• A new team-up ability between the Punisher and Devil Dinosaur that allows the vigilante to ride on top of the apex predator.

As always, there are a myriad of balance changes, such as a buff for Emma Frost and Iron Fist. For a full list of adjustments, check out the official patch notes.
