Where is Doctor Doom?
NetEase Games has officially announced Marvel Rivals Season 11: Doomsday. Despite this season’s subtitle sharing the same name as Avengers Doomsday, however, Doctor Doom might not be one of this season’s new playable characters.
Instead, Season 11’s trailer is teasing Nightcrawler and the returning villain Dracula as its next two playable characters. Watch it below:
Is Nightcrawler coming to Marvel Rivals Season 11?
NetEase Games has begun marketing for Marvel Rivals Season 11, an all-new season of content launching on 13 November, 2026. This season kicks off with two new playable characters, one of whom is a mutant front and centre in its reveal trailer: Kurt Wagner, AKA Nightcrawler.
The teleporting mutant is known to be an iconic member of the superhero team X-Men, with a keen focus on his religion and a strong moralistic outlook on the world that guides his decisions in battle. Nightcrawler was initially teased with a teleporting Jeff the Land Shark earlier this week, spurring rumours of his imminent arrival.
The Season 11 trailer teases Doctor Doom not as a new playable character as many initially hoped, but rather a villain. In a stunning twist, Dracula is instead being teased as the season’s second new hero. The trailer does not focus heavily on Doom, but teases the destruction wreaked by an ongoing incursion.
Here’s the trailer’s description, via YouTube:
Two timelines, the present and the future, are on a course for an Incursion! New York and Nueva York are about to collide head-on! Will they find a solution in separation, or will each look out for its own interests? How will the heroes' actions affect the ambitions of the two Doctor Dooms? How will a pious saint with the visage of a demon and the exiled king trapped in a foreign land shoulder the burden of saving two worlds?
More information on Marvel Rivals Season 11 will likely be revealed imminently, so stay tuned to our coverage.
