Marvel Games and NetEase Games have detailed Season 11: Doomsday for Marvel Rivals, launching on 13th November. Nightcrawler and Dracula are joining the roster of the free-to-play hero shooter, even if Doctor Doom only made the season title. The game is out now on Xbox Series X|S and playable through Xbox Cloud Gaming with Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate.

Nightcrawler arrives in the first half of the season as a Strategist. He blinks in and out of the fight, pressures enemies at close range with his fencing, and lobs brimstone bombs that heal allies and damage foes. He can BAMF to a teammate’s side or carry them through the Brimstone Dimension, either out of trouble or straight into it. His Ultimate teleports allies one by one to a target location, then pulls nearby enemies in with him. The official character reveal shows the kit in action.

Dracula is also confirmed for Season 11, arriving later in the season. Marvel and NetEase have not yet given him a role or a firm date, beyond a closing shot in the Season 11: Doomsday trailer of the vampire king opening his eyes. A new 18v18 Chrono-Annihilation mode and its map, Incursion Point, go live with the 26th November update, set at the collision of New York and Nueva York.

Season 11 also marks two years of Marvel Rivals. Anniversary events, including logins, can earn players 2,500 Units and a free Legendary Deadpool costume. On 19th November, Galacta’s Galaxy Center opens in Times Square with six mini games, and anniversary costumes in the “Shining Moment” and “Esports Gamers” themes are on the way. The Marvel Rivals Ignite 2026 Grand Finals run from 23rd to 29th November at DreamHack in Stockholm, with 12 teams competing for a share of a $1,000,000 prize pool.
