Marvel Rivals Sets May 15 Launch for Season 8 as Devil Dinosaur Joins the Roster

The rollout signals a bigger bet on bold hero designs with staged drops across the season.

Overview

  • Season 8, titled Sins of Alchemax, goes live Friday, May 15, with updates starting around 9 a.m. UTC and play expected shortly after.
  • Devil Dinosaur debuts as a Vanguard who brawls behind a forcefield, inflicts bleeding with bite attacks, clamps foes in his jaws, and transforms into a rampaging behemoth as his Ultimate.
  • The Punisher gains a Team-Up that lets him ride the T. rex, limiting his toolkit to core attacks while granting damage reduction and shared healing during the mount.
  • Cyclops is confirmed as a Duelist who will arrive in a mid-season update following the initial launch window.
  • PC players can free about 35 GB by uninstalling a now-standalone high‑resolution texture pack, easing storage demands for the new season.
