Marvel Rivals Season 11: Doomsday goes live November 13 with Nightcrawler, a new Battle Pass and aim assist changes: what Marvel and NetEase confirmed
Marvel Rivals Season 11: Doomsday begins on November 13, 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with about two hours of maintenance. Here is what the official patch notes and the Marvel and NetEase press release say (sources read November 13, 2026, Paris time).
1. When it starts
- The update begins on November 13, 2026 at 09:00:00 UTC, which is 10:00 in Paris. Estimated maintenance: 2 hours; servers are offline and the game is inaccessible during that time.
- Return times may vary; the team says it will announce when servers are back on its social accounts.
2. What is new at launch
- New hero: Nightcrawler, a Strategist. Per the press release: he blinks and teleports, fences at close range and throws brimstone bombs that heal allies and damage enemies. He can teleport to an ally, or carry one through the Brimstone Dimension. His Ultimate gathers allies at a target spot and pulls enemies in the area to him.
- New Battle Pass, "The Incursion", with 10 new costume sets, including Emma Frost, Mantis and Daredevil.
- Season event "The Acts of Kurt Wagner", and a Season 11.0 Gold-tier rank reward: Nightcrawler, Hope Soared.
- Twitch Drops from November 13, 12:00 UTC to December 11, 09:00 UTC, including the Devil Dinosaur "Will of Galacta" costume.
3. Settings and performance
- Controller: an optional "Aim Assist Target Prediction" setting for smoother switching between targets. It only applies if you turn it on.
- PC: an experimental client CPU optimization, toggled in the PC launcher. Marvel says it should raise CPU performance by about 10%; if you hit instability, contact Customer Support.
- A client version optimized for NVIDIA RTX Spark devices, with DLSS Super Resolution, Frame Generation and Reflex support.
4. Balance patch
- A separate "Version 20261113 Balance Post" was published on Steam on November 12. Examples from it: Devil Dinosaur's Savage Predation control duration goes from 0.8 s to 0.6 s and his Buddy Barrier shield from 450 to 400; Emma Frost's Mind's Aegis shield goes from 400 to 350; Angela's first three Axes of Ichors strikes go from 30 to 35 damage.
- Read the full post for every hero before changing your main.
5. What comes later
- The 18 vs 18 Chrono Annihilation mode and its map Incursion Point arrive with the November 26 update.
- Season 11 is the game's second anniversary, with events promised; the press release says Galacta's Galaxy Center opens in Times Square on November 19, with a free Legendary Deadpool costume for completing events.
- The trailer teases Dracula, expected later in the season; the press release names him for Season 11, without giving a date.
