NetEase prepares two new playable characters for the upcoming update.
Devil Dinosaur originates from a parallel universe known as Dinosaur World. He is a giant red Tyrannosaurus Rex whose appearance and enhanced powers stem from a fire incident that triggered a mutation. The character possesses high intelligence, extreme heat resistance, and bulletproof durability according to comic lore.
Historically, Devil Dinosaur is paired with Moon-Boy, who later becomes Moon-Girl. This companion has the ability to switch minds with the dinosaur. Insider Gaming speculates that Devil Dinosaur may exhibit similar mind-switching mechanics in Marvel Rivals, though this remains unconfirmed based on current evidence.
Insider Gaming notes that Devil Dinosaur is likely the first character to arrive in Season 8, citing an early teaser as the basis for this expectation. The source describes this timeline as probable rather than definitive. NetEase has not officially confirmed the launch window or the specific order of character releases.
