Refresh
That’s all for today
I’m heading off now for the evening. I’ll be back one hour before Marvel Rivals goes into downtime, and continue to provide updates on when the game will be back online. Hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long for the next season, as I’m itching to dive in and play as Gambit.
A new player hub
The Times Square map will launch in Season 5, and it’s essentially a player hub where you can hang out. It’s a non-combat map that can host up to 100 players. Players can hang out, dance, watch videos, read books, and let their imaginations run wild.
A new Team Up for Magneto
Gambit arrives and brings a new Team Up with Magneto. This is essentially a rework of his Team Up with Scarlet Witch, a move that will no doubt excite a lot of players (including me). Now, Magneto can throw kinetically-charged swords at foes, making him even more formidable.
Season 5 roadmap revealed
NetEase has now revealed the full roadmap for Season 5. There’s set to be new costumes for Doctor Strange, Luna Snow, Magik, and Psylocke, and anniversary celebrations kick off on November 28.
When is Rogue coming to Marvel Rivals?
Gambit and Rogue have been revealed for Marvel Rivals. Gambit is arriving first, and we’ll see Rogue following on December 12, 2025. This is when Season 5.5 will launch, and we’ll all be able to play as Rogue.
Placement matches for Marvel Rivals
There’s now placement matches for the Competitive Mode in Marvel Rivals. If you played 10 or more ranked matches in Season 4, your Season 5 placement matches estimated starting rank is your Season 4 final rank minus 3 divisions. This is then compared with your highest ranking in previous seasons, with some tiers subtracted. You can read the full details here.
Gambit is the new Hero in Marvel Rivals
We now know that Gambit is the next Hero set to be added in Marvel Rivals. He’s a Strategist that can heal teammates with his kinetic playing cards, and apply anti-heal in certain situations. He has an ability that can actually negate certain effects as well, and we see him in the reveal trailer countering a Doctor Strange Ultimate ability.
So when will Marvel Rivals Season 5 come out?
Marvel Rivals Season 5 will arrive after downtime kicks in. This has been precisely 2 hours of wait time for the last four major updates, so I expect Season 5 to launch at this time:
- East Coast (US): 6AM ET
- West Coast (US): 3AM PT
- United Kingdom: 11AM GMT
- Australia (Sydney): 10PM AEST
- Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST
