Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Set for October 9

Marvel Games and NetEase Games announced that Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 is scheduled to begin October 9, with new modes inspired by Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame, a map addition and Halloween events. The announcement describes planned content; the supplied information does not confirm that the update or its features have launched. The season is set to open with Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Infinity War, a player-versus-player mode built around two-person teams. According to the developers, 12 players will be divided into six duos and compete in 2v2 matches in Wakanda, choosing from 13 heroes associated with the film. Between rounds, players can select randomized cards that improve character abilities or stats. Each team will also receive an Infinity Stone with a special ability, and teams will be able to claim stones left behind by eliminated opponents. A second mode, Path to Doomsday: Avengers: Endgame, is scheduled to begin October 22. The developers described it as a cooperative, 50-player player-versus-environment experience set in the ruins of the Avengers Compound, where players will face Thanos and his forces.
