Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 launches on October 9, 2026 at 9 AM UTC, unleashing new Avengers‑themed modes and spooky Halloween content.
New Modes & Heroes for Season 10.5
The latest Dev Vision Vol. 22 announced the Avengers: Infinity War PvP mode, a fast‑paced 2v2 deathmatch. Thirteen iconic heroes will be playable as twelve competitors arrange into six teams of two. Each match grants every squad an Infinity Stone and distributes random upgrade cards each round. Defeated teams that lose all health leave the ring, echoing the mechanics of the earlier Avengers PvP.
Following the PvP reveal, the Avengers: Endgame PvE mode will open on October 22, 2026. This mode will pit fifty players against Thanos and his army across the shattered Avengers Compound, mirroring the film’s climax.
Halloween Features and Events
The Alchemax Headquarters map debuts in the 18v18 Annihilation mode. Additionally, a roster of heroes—including Devil Dinosaur, Blade, Elsa Bloodstone, Deadpool, Rocket Raccoon, Mister Fantastic, Invisible Woman, Scarlet Witch, and Black Cat—will sport new Halloween costumes. The Hallow’s Glow mini‑event on October 15, 2026 rewards players with free costumes and cosmetics, while the Night of Illusions on October 29 offers an interactive puzzle experience akin to the popular Death of Apocalypse event.
Ignite 2026 Grand Finals Preview
GuanGuang confirmed that the Ignite 2026 Grand Final will occur at DreamHack Stockholm, hosting twelve international teams in a battle for the ultimate title.
