Marvel Rivals is a cooperative, Super Hero team-based PVP shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains while battling with unique super powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse.
Marvel Rivals features a storyline crafted by the NetEase writing team where the merciless clash between the tyrannical dictator Doctor Doom and his future counterpart from the year 2099 has forced countless universes to collide in the Timestream Entanglement, creating new worlds and crises still unknown.
Now, Super Heroes and Super Villains from across the multiverse must fight together and against one another as disparate groups seek to defeat both Dooms before one achieves domination of these realities. Familiar faces become newfound foes while former enemies become the greatest of allies in Marvel Rivals!
You’re not just higher-dimensional beings controlling game characters, nor are you elite players pressing buttons at high APM — you ARE the heroes. We wanted to take these Super Heroes and push them like never before! Use Magneto to cast Metal Bulwark to protect your teammates from projectile damage. Choose Hela and call upon forces of Nastrond to annihilate your enemies. Choose Venom to tap into the power of the symbiote and devour your enemies or pick Adam Warlock and unleash the potential of quantum magic, establishing a soul bond with your teammates to charge ahead or resurrect your entire team. Better yet, leverage the power of flight by choosing Iron Man, Storm, and other flying heroes to suppress enemies using aerial combat techniques.
Heroes are split into three distinct roles based on their unique power inclinations: Vanguard, Duelist, and Strategist. You’re free to pick your preferred role and hero, teaming up with allies to create a versatile and dynamic lineup for battle.
Marvel Games and NetEase Games have unveiled full details for Season 6.5: Night at the Museum, launching February 13 for Marvel Rivals.
Elsa Bloodstone will join the ever-expanding roster as a Duelist who wields a variety of weapons and traps to hunt her enemies and can even summon monsters to fight by her side. Season 6.5 will also introduce new features, special events, plenty of Team-Up changes and a chance to compete in Deadpool’s Monster Kingdom Championship.
Elsa Bloodstone (Duelist)
Elsa Bloodstone blasts into the game as an expert monster hunter who wields a variety of weapons and traps to hunt her enemies and can even summon monsters to fight by her side. In battle, Elsa can switch between different weapons to apply sustained pressure, and as the fight goes on, her hunting Instinct sharpens, allowing her to take down foes even faster by reducing cooldowns as she deals more damage. She also loses Instinct whenever she gets KO’d. Elsa excels at reading her opponents, darting in and out of combat, to search for openings. When she spots her chance, she charges in, combining the devastating power of her elephant gun with expert close quarters combat skills to finish the hunt. She can also set a trap containing the smoke monster Diablo. Any enemy caught will be immobilized and easy prey for Elsa. When Elsa activates her Ultimate, she summons the Glartrox to charge into battle. This beast’s overwhelming strength smashes through anything in its path, ripping enemy lines apart and biting anyone who stands in the way!
Season 6.5 brings another round of Team-Up Ability changes. The Fantastic Four (Invisible Woman - Mister Fantastic - Human Torch - The Thing) Team-Up Ability will be removed. Invisible Woman will now work with Doctor Strange in the brand-new Psionic Mayhem Team-Up. Invisible Woman is the anchor here; when activated, Doctor Strange's Maelstrom of Madness becomes Psionic Vortex, pulling enemies toward him and granting extra health to himself and nearby allies based on the damage dealt. Next, Elsa Bloodstone joins Mr. Pool's Interdimensional Toy Box Team-Up (Deadpool - Jeff). Deadpool modifies Elsa's Breathing Gun; when the Living Bullet rounds hit enemies, they'll suffer vision impairment and hear Deadpool's nonstop chatter. Elsa can recall the rounds, healing herself based on the damage dealt. For Season 6.5, The Thing joins the Gamma Charge Team-Up (Hulk - Black Panther). The Thing gains Gamma Gauntlets; activating the ability boosts the range and damage of Stone Haymaker and Rocky Jab, and each hit grants Bonus Health. Finally, Mister Fantastic joins the Rocket Network Team-Up (Rocket Raccoon - Star-Lord). Together, Rocket and Mister Fantastic developed a Fantastic Amplifier. When activated, Mister Fantastic's Elasticity can exceed the 100-point cap and accumulate, and he won't automatically enter Inflation state, instead being able to trigger it manually.
Some exciting special events are coming to Season 6.5. After their wedding in Krakoa, Gambit and Rogue are bringing the celebration to Times Square with a wedding car parade. Players can join them on Valentine’s Day (February 14) for the festivities and earn Units. Also, for the Chinese Spring Festival, Lin Lie will perform a lion dance in Times Square. Players can log in to watch and join the show to receive Unit red envelopes.
Seeing how successful the Marvel Rivals Championship tournaments have been, Deadpool is hosting his own fun competition on February 21 and 22: the Monster Kingdom Championship! There will be two divisions: Duos and Squads. The Duos division allows Factions of 2, and the Squads division allows Factions of 6 to 8, with no rank or platform restrictions. Each player can choose to participate in either division on one of the event days. Each event day features five rounds of matches, all played in a first-to-three format. The first Faction to 3 wins or 3 losses concludes their run. Based on your wins, every Faction member will earn Units, Unstable Molecules, and exclusive nameplate rewards.
One more thing, all 12 partner teams for Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 have been confirmed; the tournament will start at the end of March. Additional schedules and notable moments will follow as the event heats up.
In addition to the above, players can continue to get all the latest information from the Game Update featuring full Patch Notes and Hero Balance adjustments.
In Marvel Rivals, the bonds and friendships that once lived only in the lore are brought to life on the battlefield through Team-Up Abilities, further enriching and changing your combat strategy. Magneto can receive a touch of Scarlet Witch’s chaos magic and use his giant steel sword to slash at enemies with a chaos energy wave. Hulk can enhance Iron Man’s Nano Armor, enabling it to emit incredibly powerful gamma energy infused in his Unibeam. Of course, the classic scene where Rocket Raccoon rides on Groot’s shoulders and fires wildly at the enemy can also be recreated in the game. When up against overwhelming enemies, even Venom and the Spider-Totems can set aside their differences to morph into a united Venomized force, piercing through the battlefield with dark, lethal spikes!
