Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Release Date: October 9, No New Hero
Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 starts on Friday, October 9, 2026, and the second half of the season does not add a new hero. The date comes from the official Season 10.0 roadmap posted by the Marvel Rivals X account on September 9. The content plan comes from NetEase’s Dev Vision Vol. 21 video: Season 10 has a single new hero, Gorr the God Butcher, while Season 10.5 focuses on Phase 3 and Phase 4 of the Path to Doomsday event with two new game modes. As of Tuesday afternoon, October 6, NetEase had not released the 10.5 patch notes, the October 9 maintenance schedule, the mode names, or new costumes; the latest post on its official site is still the patch notes for the October 1 update. Below is everything official so far, plus the Season 10 events and bundles that are about to end.
When Does Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Come Out?
On the official roadmap, the last column is dated October 9 and only says Coming Soon and Season 10.5. No start time has been given. The closest reference is the Season 10 patch notes: the Endgame Encore discount, the Cloak & Dagger Dreamy Duo bundle, and the Season 10 Twitch Drops all end on October 9 at 09:00 UTC. The Season 10 update (September 11) and the Season 9.5 update (August 7) also started at 09:00 UTC, with maintenance estimated at about 2 hours.
| Time zone | October 9, 09:00 UTC |
|---|---|
| Indonesia (WIB) | 4:00 PM |
| Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines | 5:00 PM |
| Thailand, Vietnam | 4:00 PM |
Season details usually land a few days before the update. For Season 9.5, Dev Vision Vol. 20 and the balance post went up on August 4, three days before the August 7 update. For Season 10, the Dev Vision video, balance post, and roadmap came out on September 8 and 9, two to three days before the September 11 update. NetEase itself said the Season 10.5 details would drop closer to the start of the half-season.
Is There a New Hero in Season 10.5?
No. In Dev Vision Vol. 21, NetEase said: “For the upcoming Season 10, we’re locking our crosshairs on just Gorr the God Butcher.” The first half brings one new hero and one new map, and the second half shifts to Path to Doomsday. Both are already in the game. Gorr has been available since the September 11 update, and The God Quarry arrived as a Domination map in the September 24 update.
That is a change from Season 9.5, which added The Hood on August 7. NetEase said a single-hero season “isn’t the new normal” and teased two new heroes for Season 11. Their names and the Season 11 date have not been announced.
Path to Doomsday Phase 3 and 4: Two New Modes
Path to Doomsday is a series of crossover modes based on Marvel Studios’ Avengers films. Its first two phases have already launched this year:
| Phase | Mode type | Start | Official notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: The Avengers | Asymmetric PvP, the Avengers vs Loki | April 30, 2026 | Event ran until May 28, 2026 |
| Phase 2: Avengers: Age of Ultron | PvE with story cinematics | July 30, 2026 | Not available on PS4 at launch |
| Phase 3 and Phase 4 | Two new modes | Season 10.5 | Details due before October 9 |
The story theme of Phase 3 and Phase 4, the mode type (PvP or PvE), and platform support have not been revealed. PS4 players should check the platform notes when the announcement lands.

Ranked, Battle Pass, and IGNITE Predictions
Ranked. The Season 10.0 Gold-tier reward is the Gorr the God Butcher Gods’ Graveyard costume. NetEase has not said whether 10.5 brings a rank reset or a new rank reward. The Season 8.5 and 9.5 patch notes listed no new rank reward, while Season 7.5 listed the Black Cat Beguiling Blue costume. If you want the Gorr costume, the safe move is to reach Gold before October 9.
Battle Pass. The Season 10 Battle Pass, The Godbomb, has 10 new costume sets, including White Fox Cosmic Kumiho, Captain America Astral Aegis, and Loki The Chronicler. Its official trailer says every reward in a purchased Battle Pass is yours to keep permanently and can be unlocked at your own pace, so the switch to 10.5 does not wipe your progress.
IGNITE predictions. According to the October 1 patch notes, in-game predictions for the IGNITE Series Stage 2 playoffs open from October 5. The Pacific Series, which merges Asia and Oceania, starts its playoffs on October 8 with 2 Grand Final 2026 slots at stake, and its prediction deadline is 12:50 PM WIB (1:50 PM in Malaysia and Singapore) that day. Making predictions and watching through the in-game broadcast unlocks quests with Nameplates, Titles, and Units.
