Instead, NetEase Games is packing Season 10.5 with Avengers-themed game modes, a wave of Halloween content, and a steady stream of new skins. The mid-season update is almost here, and it is going to launch on October 9, 2026. In the section below, we take a detailed look at Marvel Rivals’ upcoming Season 10.5 update. Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 launches on October 9, 2026, at 9 AM UTC, and will run until November 13, 2026, when Season 11 takes over with a confirmed new hero. Rather than a new character, Season 10.5’s launch day centers on a new PvP mode called Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Infinity War, timed alongside an in-game event called Infinity Finale. With two new Avengers-inspired game modes, four separate events, and ten new costumes spread across six weeks, Season 10.5 is shaping up to be a content-dense bridge between Season 10 and the next full season.

For the first time in Marvel Rivals history, a major update is launching without a new hero joining the roster.

A second mode, Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Endgame, follows later in the season as a PvE experience, continuing the Avengers movie-inspired theme running through the update.
