For multiple seasons and years, and from Season 0 beta in December 2024 to the latest season, the content has flowed steadily. Here's everything that's new and upcoming. Let's talk Marvel Rivals.
This patch ships with no server downtime.
We're still technically in Season 9.5 aka The Mystery of Thebes after the addition of The Hood. The Aug. 13 update delivers the Storm "Sacred Skies" bundle and a limited-time return of the Loki "Lady Loki" bundle, which is an addition to the store and not the game overall. After massive changes in 9.5 , no one should have expected much more from the next update.
While NetEase hasn't given a definitive date, many speculate we'll see a new season arriving on September 4 or 11. Traditionally, the seasons have lasted either 56 or 63 days.

NetEase has not confirmed an end timestamp, but the Season 9.5 roadmap runs through a September 11 Season 10 launch.
The Hood, who is a Vanguard, came in on Aug. 7, 2026. He brings the street hustle with a taste of dark magic. Word from the community is that while effective, he doesn't push Magneto for the title of top in the class. Still, a cool character with high usability.
