Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 will arrive after 2-3 hours of downtime. Based on the last few updates, I estimate Marvel Rivals to be back online at the following times:

• United Kingdom: 12AM BST (October 10)

• Japan (Tokyo): 8PM JST (October 10)
• Australia (Sydney): 9PM AEST (October 10)

Battle Pass skins revealed

Downtime in one hour!

There’s just one hour until downtime kicks in for Marvel Rivals Season 4.5. From there, I’ll be providing updates on exactly when the game goes back online.

Welcome back

It’s Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 release day! That means we’ll be able to jump into the new update in just a few hours. Let’s get started.

That’s all for today

I’m heading off now, but I’ll return bright and early tomorrow morning to cover the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 4.5. There will be my live coverage of downtime, and then some early gameplay impressions once everything is back online. Until then!

Ragnarok Rebirth is no more

There’s a new Team Up, and changes to existing ones coming in Marvel Rivals Season 4.5. Unfortunately, Ragnarok Rebirth is being removed entirely, meaning Thor and Hela no longer team up with each other. To compensate, Hela joins Namor in Deep Wrath, and of course Thor still has a Team Up with Angela.

How long is downtime expected to last?

Marvel Rivals has been extremely consistent with the downtime between recent seasonal updates. NetEase is once again estimating 2-3 hours of downtime, though it’s pretty much been bang on 2 hours in the past few seasons. As such, expect 2 hours of downtime, but be advised that it could run a little bit later.

Daredevil joins the fight!

Namor removed from Gamma Charge

My prayers have been answered. Namor is no longer a part of the Gamma Charge Team Up, meaning no more super-powered laser squids beaming me from afar. He’s getting a new Team Up with Hela, however, called Deep Wrath, unlocking the new Tidal Dirge ability.

A new event is coming

The Jade Scrolls of K’un-Lun event drops with Season 4.5. Players can earn the Psylocke – Fleeting Butterfly skin, as well as additional cosmetics for Spider-Man and Storm. There’s free rewards, and a Premium track to this one.

Developer Vision trailer reveals new details

NetEase has revealed a Developer Vision video for Marvel Rivals Season 4.5. In it, we get a breakdown of the new Team Ups, the new Hero, as well as some info on the main plot that’ll run up until the next season. Check it out below:

When does downtime start?

Downtime for Season 4.5 kicks off October 10 at the following times:

• East Coast (US): 5AM ET (October 10)
• West Coast (US): 2AM PT (October 10)
• United Kingdom: 10AM BST (October 10)
• Europe (Central): 11AM CEST (October 10)

• Australia (Sydney): 8PM AEST (October 10)

Hello and welcome!

Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 launches tomorrow (October 10), meaning we’re now a little less than a day away from playing the new season. Daredevil is being added as a Duelist, and there’s new ranked rewards and Battle Pass skins to earn as well.
