Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 is almost here. The new update is packed with Infinity Stones, Halloween chaos, and a long list of costumes. It runs from October 9 to November 13, 2026.

Here’s a full look at everything on the roadmap, week by week.

Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 at a Glance

Season 10.5 has six weekly drops. Each one adds something new. Some include game modes, while others feature events and costumes.

October 9Path to Doomsday PVP mode (Infinity War), Infinity Finale event, 3 costumes

October 9: A New PVP Mode and the Infinity Finale

The season opens with a big week. Three things land on the same day.

New PVP Mode: Path to Doomsday (Avengers: Infinity War)

The first headline is the Path to Doomsday PVP mode. This one is themed around Avengers: Infinity War, getting MCU fans hyped for upcoming releases. The roadmap art shows the Infinity Gauntlet in full glow.

It’s a mode with 12 players. The game is fast-paced, with random drafting, and the hero pool is limited to 13 main Avengers. Every team includes two players (a duo), and they battle it out in tournament-style 2v2s until only one remains standing. You can upgrade abilities and stats to create unique hero builds.

At every round start, each team receives one of the Infinity Stones. This grants them overall ability changes. You can activate the Infinity Stone during each round, and defeating another team means you earn that team’s Infinity Stone, too.

New Event: Infinity Finale

A new event called Infinity Finale also starts on October 9. The key art shows Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Thor.

The event features 24 rewards. Many of them are free, including the “The Avengers” Thor skin. Players can also grab Avengers: Infinity War Black Panther and Doctor Strange.

New Costumes on October 9

Three new costumes join the game as soon as the new Season rolls out:

  • Devil Dinosaur in the Skele-Saurus costume
  • Blade in the Vampire King costume
  • Cyclops in the Phoenix Cyclops costume

The Skele-Saurus look has a spooky bone-white dino with a green glow. The Vampire King fits the Halloween mood well. Phoenix Cyclops adds a fiery red twist for fans of the X-Men.

October 16: All Hallows’ Glow Begins

Week two shifts the focus to Halloween. The All Hallows’ Glow event includes plenty of themed costumes, revamped graphics, and more.

New Event: All Hallows’ Glow

All Hallows’ Glow is a new seasonal event. The art shows cute and creepy characters in witch hats, pumpkins, and monster outfits. It looks like a lighter, more playful event than the Infinity content from week one.

New Costumes on October 16

Two costume sets arrive:

  • Invisible Woman in the Fate Witches costume
  • Mister Fantastic and Deadpool in the Midnight Monsters costume

The Fate Witches set gives off a dark and stylish witch vibe. Midnight Monsters leans into classic horror. Deadpool wears a fun nurse costume, and Mister Fantastic pops out in a snazzy suit.

October 23: Path to Doomsday Comes to PVE

On October 23, the Path to Doomsday theme grows, and an event makes it more immersive than ever.

New PVE Mode: Path to Doomsday (Avengers: Endgame)

This week adds a PVE version of Path to Doomsday. It is themed around Avengers: Endgame. The art features Thanos wearing the Infinity Gauntlet. And yes, Thanos is in this mode.

PVE means you team up against the NPCs in the game instead of other players. This makes Path to Doomsday a good pick if you want a break from ranked pressure. Players will battle Thanos’ army in the Avengers Compound and ultimately defeat him in a series of boss fights. This is reportedly a massive 50-player game mode.

The story is split into two: Infinity War arrives first as PVP. Endgame follows a couple of weeks later as PVE.

New Costumes on October 23

This is the biggest costume week of the season. Three more looks arrive:

  • Black Cat in the Fate Witches costume
  • Elsa Bloodstone in the Midnight Monsters costume
  • Jeff in the Sharknos costume

Jeff the Land Shark is a fan favorite. The Sharknos look puts him in golden armor with a toothy grin. Black Cat wears a purple and orange look with nostalgic Halloween accents, while Elsa Bloodstone becomes a stylish vampire hunter.

October 30: Halloween Night of Illusions New Event

Halloween week closes out October with a bang. The Night of Illusions event lands just in time for the holiday. The art shows a dark, spooky scene with shadowy tentacles and a glowing red path.

The dev team hasn’t released much info about the event yet, but it has a moody, mysterious feel. This is reportedly an interactive, puzzle-based event.

New Costumes on October 30

We also get two new costumes this week:

  • Winter Soldier in the Celestial Messenger costume
  • A Marvel Tokon costume

Winter Soldier’s art shows a golden, glowing look. The Marvel Tokon costume is a crossover style. It seems like the team is keeping these designs mysterious until they arrive, and we don’t know which hero they feature yet.

November 6: Spider-Man and The Thing Get New Looks

Week five moves away from Halloween. As we get closer to winter, the weather is cooling and things are getting cozy. Two more costumes are releasing:

  • Spider-Man in the Worthy Spider-Man costume
  • The Thing in the Cosmic Cook costume

Worthy Spider-Man has a silver, winged helmet and icy blue energy. It has a heroic feel. In Cosmic Cook, the Thing wears a chef’s hat and apron.

November 13: Season 11.0 Release Date

The Season 10.5 roadmap’s final gift is a Season 11.0 release date. We now know that Marvel Rivals Season 11 will launch on November 13, bringing the community into the year’s final stretch.

What to Expect From Season 10.5

That was a lot, so let’s recap the big picture. Here’s everything on the way in Season 10.5:

  • Two new game modes. One PVP and one PVE, both under Path to Doomsday.
  • Two Halloween events. All Hallows’ Glow and Night of Illusions.
  • One Infinity-themed event. Infinity Finale.
  • Many new costumes. Most of them have a Halloween theme, and there are also quite a few in the Infinity Finale and Cosmic skin lines.

Is there a new hero in Season 10.5?

Some Marvel Rivals seasons release two heroes, with one at the halfway point, so many players were wondering if Season 11.5 would include a new character. However, there is no new hero in Season 10.5. Instead, it focuses on modes, events, and costumes.

Previously, Gorr the God-Butcher arrived. It seems like Season 11 will be the next time we get a new character on the roster. The fanbase is speculating Nightcrawler might be the next hero in the works, but Marvel hasn’t confirmed this yet.

Season 10.5 looks like a strong mix of fun and fan service. The Infinity War and Endgame modes carry the lore forward, while Halloween events add some seasonal charm.

It’s important to note that the Roadmap might not be final. Plans can change, so check in-game news and official Marvel Rivals posts for the latest updates.
