Marvel Rivals Launches Avengers 1v6 Mode as Early Reviews Pan Overpowered Loki

The release begins a yearlong Path to Doomsday crossover tied to MCU Avengers films.

Overview

  • Marvel Rivals rolled out Path to Doomsday: The Avengers on Thursday at 9:00 UTC with no downtime, adding a limited 1v6 mode that pits one player as a powered‑up Loki against the original six heroes.
  • The crossover runs through May 28 and converts the in‑game Times Square into a theater and photo area, where two minutes of Avengers clip screenings unlock a Gallery Card and photo walls grant 100 Units.
  • Avengers‑themed cosmetics go on sale May 1, including Original Avengers looks, Iron Man and Loki bundles, a Captain America emote, and other store add‑ons.
  • Early hands‑on coverage slams the mode’s balance, with Destructoid calling Loki “beyond broken” for high damage, cloning, invisibility, and mind control that can force an Avenger to troll teammates or jump off the map.
  • NetEase says this is Chapter 1 of several MCU tie‑ins, with Age of Ultron content planned for June, Infinity War in August, and Endgame in October leading into Avengers: Doomsday.
