Season 11 of NetEase’s hero shooter goes live on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 09:00 UTC, after a maintenance window the developer expects to last about two hours, according to the official Version 20261113 patch notes. That puts the servers back online around 11:00 UTC, which is 6 a.m. Eastern, 3 a.m. Pacific and 11 a.m. in London if the two-hour estimate holds. Nightcrawler is the new hero The patch notes introduce Kurt Wagner with a single line: “BAMF! The fuzzy elf teleports into Marvel Rivals!” He arrives with his own lore entry, Leap of Faith, plus a full shop lineup that includes a Steadfast Swordsman bundle, an X-Force costume, an emoji pack and a Pickles plush accessory. A summary of the developers’ Dev Vision Vol. 23 video lists him as a Strategist, the game’s support class, and says Dracula is due to join as a second hero in the second half of the season. The official written notes do not yet name Dracula, so treat that one as announced on video rather than in the patch text. What else Season 11 adds A new story arc: a serial called Doomsday, framed around two timelines on the brink of collapse. Battle Pass: The Incursion, with 10 costume sets, among them Emma Frost’s Seat of Winter, Mantis’s Chronal Harmony and Daredevil’s The Man Without Fear. Seasonal event: The Acts of Kurt Wagner, where players team with Nightcrawler on disaster-relief missions tied to a prophecy from Destiny. Ranked reward: the Gold-tier costume for Season 11.0 is Nightcrawler’s Hope Soared. Twitch Drops: a Devil Dinosaur costume, Will of Galacta, from November 13 at 12:00 UTC to December 11 at 09:00 UTC. NetEase also added an optional controller setting called Aim Assist Target Prediction, which makes switching between enemies smoother, and an experimental PC client built with an Intel compiler that the studio expects to raise CPU performance by roughly 10%. Second anniversary and esports dates Marvel Rivals launched in December 2024, and the developers say this season doubles as its second-anniversary celebration. The summary of the developer video lists an anniversary event after the November 19 update, 18-versus-18 Annihilation matches on a new map called Incursion Point with the November 26 update, and a Rival Day event in the game’s Times Square hub on December 5. Competitive players get a busy month too. The IGNITE 2026 Grand Finals run from November 23 to 29 in Stockholm, Sweden, with 12 teams: four each from the Americas and EMEA series, and two each from China and the Pacific. The group stage takes three days, and the eight survivors move to a double-elimination bracket that ends in a best-of-seven final. Season 11 at a glance Counting from today’s launch, the anniversary update is six days away, the big 36-player mode is 13 days away, and the Twitch Drops window lasts exactly 28 days minus three hours. The Stockholm final weekend overlaps the Annihilation mode’s first days, so expect a crowded late November on the servers.

The next confirmed date is the November 19 update, when the second-anniversary event begins.
