Marvel Rivals Season 4 launch: our live coverage of the new update, Angela, and Battle Pass

Angela joins as a brand new Vanguard

The new Hero for Marvel Rivals Season 4 is Angela. She’s a new Vanguard, but quite unlike the others in that she can fly. She’s able to pull enemies away from their teammates, and deal massive damage with close-quarters combat. Her Ultimate creates a zone that slows enemies and deals extra damage to them. Thor gets a new Team Up with Angela as well.

Marvel Rivals is coming to PS4!

Great news for PlayStation fans, Marvel Rivals Season 4 launches on PS4. This is the first time the game has been ported to last-gen consoles, so it’ll surely allow many more players to join in on the fun. I’ll be testing the PS4 version at some point to see how it measures up. Hopefully, it still manages a consistent 60fps, which is vital for competitive games like Marvel Rivals.

I estimate Marvel Rivals Season 4 to start at the this time

Given that downtime has been pretty much exactly 2 hours for the last three Marvel Rivals seasonal updates, I estimate Season 4 to launch around the following times:

• East Coast (US): 7AM ET (September 12)
• West Coast (US): 4AM PT (September 12)
• United Kingdom: 12AM BST (September 12)
• Europe (Central): 1PM CEST (September 12)
• Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST (September 12)

Here’s when Season 3.5 goes into downtime

Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 will go into downtime for a couple of hours before Season 4 arrives. This kicks in on September 12 at the following times:

• East Coast (US): 5AM ET (September 12)
• West Coast (US): 2AM PT (September 12)
• United Kingdom: 10AM BST (September 12)
• Europe (Central): 11AM CEST (September 12)
• Japan (Tokyo): 7PM JST (September 12)
• Australia (Sydney): 8PM AEST (September 12)

Hello and welcome

Marvel Rivals Season 4 is now less than a day away from launching. I can’t wait to try out the new Hero, a Vanguard that flies through the air with a golden spear and shield. I’ve now gotten early access to the new season, and I’ll be covering the build up to launch with everything you need to know about the next major update.
