Following this trend, two more heroes appear poised to join the roster, this time drawing from the ranks of the X-Men.
Although they weren’t directly mentioned in the patch notes, sharp-eyed fans have noticed two familiar figures in the background of the latest hero image from the 2025/11/06 update. After a detailed look at the news page, the silhouettes unmistakably belong to Gambit and Rogue.
