A multiplayer raid-like mode is coming to Marvel Rivals.
NetEase Games has officially released a first look at Marvel Rivals Season 10.5, a midseason update for the hero shooter that forgoes the usual new hero launch for two new MCU game modes instead. According to a newly-released Dev. Vision video, Season 10.5 will add a PvP Avengers: Infinity War and a raid-like PvE Avengers Endgame mode, along with lots of spooky new Halloween content.
Watch the Dev. Vision video below:
Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: Avengers: Infinity War mode explained
Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 is doubling down on its Path to Doomsday roadmap with two new Avengers-themed game modes. The first is Path to Doomsday–Avengers: Infinity War, described as a “fast-paced, 2v2 PvP mode built around short rounds, random drafting, and intense duo matchups.”
Here’s how it works. 12 players will form six teams of two, with the ability to select from a roster of 13 playable heroes in total. What will follow is a round-robin battle, with teams facing off in 2v2 deathmatches in Wakanda. Between rounds, players can draft cards from a random pool to upgrade their abilities and stats–much like the Age of Ultron mode.
This will allow players to create unique builds, and even counter-build against their opponents. To complicate things further, every team is randomly assigned an Infinity Stone at the start of a match. These Infinity Stones grant completely unique abilities, and players can go so far as to claim other teams’ Infinity Stones upon beating them.
This game mode will become available the moment Season 10.5 launches.
Marvel Rivals Season 10.5: Avengers Endgame mode explained
On 22 October, Marvel Rivals will follow up on the Infinity War mode with the release of the Path to Doomsday–Avengers: Endgame mode. This is described as a “massive PvE mode” where a whopping 50 players will assemble in the ruins of Avengers Compound to face down Thanos and his army head-on.
While further details weren’t given on the Endgame mode, it sounds like this will be Marvel Rivals’ version of a multiplayer raid. On top of this, both the Infinity War and Endgame modes will be accompanied by MCU-themed events at the Times Square player hub.
Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Halloween events and cosmetics explained
The spooky season is upon us, and Marvel Rivals is celebrating the occasion with a variety of new events and cosmetics. First off, Season 10.5 will mark the debut of new spooky cosmetics for Devil Dinosaur, Elsa Bloodstone, Blade, Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon, Mister Fantastic, Black, Cat, Scarlet Witch, and Invisible Woman.
After a 15 October update, Marvel Rivals is also launching an All Hallows’ Glow event, allowing players to earn new cosmetic and costume rewards. Closer to Halloween on 29 October, the game is also launching another spooky event: Halloween Night of Illusions. This event is said to involve a “thrilling, suspenseful interactive puzzle experience.”
New 18v18 map coming to Marvel Rivals Season 10.5
The 18v18 Annihilation mode is getting a new map: Alchemax Headquarters. The map will become available the moment Season 10.5 launches. Additionally, the Marvel Rivals Ignite Grand Finals will run from 23–29 November, 2026 at DreamHack in Stockholm. The winner of the event will be crowned the 2026 Marvel Rivals Ignite champions.
