Marvel Games and NetEase Games launch Season 11: Doomsday for Marvel Rivals, their free-to-play team-based PvP shooter, on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S. According to the Version 20261113 patch notes, the update starts at 9 a.m. UTC (4 a.m. ET) on November 13, with about two hours of maintenance. Marvel Games and NetEase say Nightcrawler arrives in the first half of the season.
How Nightcrawler plays
Nightcrawler is a Strategist. He blinks in and out of fights, fences at close range, and throws brimstone bombs that can heal teammates and damage enemies. He can also teleport to an ally's side, or carry them through the Brimstone Dimension, either to pull them out of danger or to dive in with them.
His Ultimate Ability teleports allies one by one to a target spot, then pulls nearby enemies toward him.
What's coming later in Season 11
An 18-versus-18 Chrono-Annihilation mode, on a new map called Incursion Point, goes live on November 26. The mode is set at the collision of New York and Nueva York, where both sides have Anti-Matter Cannons ready to fire.
Players can earn 2,500 Units and a free Legendary Deadpool costume from anniversary events, including login rewards. On November 19, Galacta's Galaxy Center opens in Times Square with six mini games. Anniversary costumes themed around "Shining Moment" and "Esports Gamers" are also on the way.
When are the Marvel Rivals Ignite finals?
The Ignite 2026 finals run from November 23 to 29 at DreamHack in Stockholm. Twelve teams from four regions will play for a share of a $1,000,000 prize pool.
