NetEase and Marvel Unveil Yearlong 'Path to Doomsday' Roadmap for Marvel Rivals

The plan turns the shooter into a yearlong bridge to the film, built on a predictable update cadence with a sizable community already in place.

Overview

  • The 2026 schedule rolls out Avengers-themed events in April, June, August, and October, culminating in an Avengers: Doomsday celebration on December 18.
  • April’s kickoff adds a limited-time asymmetrical mode where one player uses an enhanced Loki with deception, illusions, and Infinity Stone abilities against six heroes, with conditions that allow Hulk to be summoned.
  • NetEase and Marvel detailed the program at the Marvel Rivals Assemble live event, highlighting more than 4.2 million Discord members, 47 playable heroes, 20 maps, and 418 costumes.
  • Two new cosmetics, Psylocke’s Once-Captive Corsair and Captain America’s Cursed Captain, go live on March 6 at 2:00 UTC.
  • A Season 7 teaser points to a New York team-up between a master thief and a secret agent, with community guesses like Black Cat and White Fox remaining unconfirmed.
