Marvel Rivals, the (deep intake of breath) award-winning
... and critically-acclaimed Super Hero Team-Based PVP Shooter that lets players assemble an ever-evolving all-star squad of Super Heroes and Super Villains, battling with unique powers across a dynamic lineup of destructible maps from across the Marvel Multiverse - is just about to embark on Season 11!
Yes, we are starting the celebrations for our second anniversary with a brand new season, we'll have Nightcrawler and Dracula joining the fray, introducing Chrono Annihilation mode, and the very latest news about the Ignite Finals with a cool prize pot of $1,000,000 up for grabs.
Nightcrawler (Strategist) – In the first half of the season, we'll be welcoming an all-new Strategist: Nightcrawler. His unique blink and teleportation mechanics will bring a combat experience like you've never seen before. In battle, Nightcrawler has the freedom to blink in and out of the fray, using his swift fencing skills to pressure enemies at close range, all while tossing brimstone bombs to heal his teammates and damage enemies.

He can instantly BAMF to any ally's side to offer support, or carry them through the Brimstone Dimension; either pulling a teammate out of danger or helping them dive straight into the action. When unleashing his Ultimate Ability, Nightcrawler will teleport his allies one by one to a target location to assemble the squad, and then pull all enemies within the area right to his location, effectively turning the entire battlefield into his personal domain and laying the groundwork for a team victory.
A new 18 VS. 18 Chrono-Annihilation Mode and its dedicated map, Incursion Point, will go live with the November 26 update. New York and Nueva York have become ground zero for the Incursion's collision. Both sides' Anti-Matter Cannons are fully charged and ready to fire...if things go wrong, completely obliterating the other side will be the only way to survive.
Season 11 marks the second anniversary of Marvel Rivals and with it comes a massive lineup of Anniversary Events. By completing these events, including logins, players can earn 2,500 Units and a free Legendary costume for Deadpool! On November 19, Galacta's Galaxy Center will officially open its doors in Times Square, featuring six mini games waiting for players to challenge. Anniversary-exclusive costumes themed around "Shining Moment" and "Esports Gamers" will also be launching.
The Marvel Rivals team also outlined several upcoming updates in response to recent community discussions, covering costume production plans, abusive language enforcement, and the use of Mods or config changes in competitive play. As part of its costume roadmap, the team reaffirmed its previous commitment to upgrade Storm’s Sacred Skies swimsuit to Legendary status, with the release currently targeted for around Christmas this December.
The stage is set. After a grueling season of global competition, the Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 circuit reaches its ultimate climax. From November 23 to 29, twelve elite teams from across four regions will converge in Stockholm, Sweden at DreamHack Stockholm, Stockholmsmässan, to battle for the ultimate prize: the championship title and a share of the $1,000,000 USD prize pool.
