with Overwatch Firing on all cylinders after its big Season 1 relaunch, Marvel Rivals It needs something special to keep up with its competition, and it seems to have just the thing lined up. During the Rivals Assemble event, NetEase not only confirmed that Black Cat and White Fox are the season 7 heroes, but it announced “Road to Doomsday”. This MCU collaboration will see NetEase adding content based on each MCU The Avengers Until now, the film with the original The Avengers The movie will be introduced in April with a special Loki-themed game mode. for the Dead by Daylight Fans, this kind of mode should sound familiar, though it's the other planned events that can really steal the show.
Roles for Marvel Rivals' The other two characters remain under wraps, so fans will have to wait until closer to Season 7's March 20 premiere date for that information.
Marvel Rivals Gets An Avengers-Themed Roadmap That All Leads To Doomsday
Marvel Rivals recently released an Avengers-themed roadmap that begins in April and runs until the Doomsday release in December.
The MCU Avengers event of Marvel Rivals basically leaves Loki dead by the Daylight Killer
With a 6v1 format that is going to immediately appeal to fans of the games Dead by DaylightThe currently unknown Loki game mode will put one player in control of an extremely powerful version of the God of Mischief, while the other 6 players control “different heroes”. Said heroes could be the original six MCU Avengers — Hawkeye, Black Widow, Thor, Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man — but that's only speculation so far, and the mechanic of allowing “survivors” to call the Hulk seems to negate his inclusion on the team. Anyway, it's Loki's mechanics that seem the most interesting.
Who is that character?

Easy (7.5 seconds) Medium (5.0 seconds) Hard (2.5 seconds) Permadeath (2.5 seconds)
Based on the announcement for this mod, Loki will have an “all new skillset” that makes him powerful enough to take on a group of six heroes. He will have more effective deception and illusion tools, which could see him manipulate the heroes into fighting each other, and “powerful Infinity Stone abilities” are also available to Loki. in the original The Avengers In the film, Loki wielded the Mind Stone through his staff, which could allow him to manipulate the enemy team, but he also acquired the Tesseract, which held the Space Stone. This could potentially allow Loki to teleport anywhere on the map, making him even more powerful.
Based on the mode description, it looks like Loki can win by eliminating six heroes, where the heroes win by summoning the Hulk to slam Loki around in a recreation of an “iconic scene” from the film. This is, again, speculation based on limited details of the mod, but it certainly sounds interesting. And while summoning a green rage monster powered by gamma radiation isn't exactly the sort of horror generator fix it might still scratch the same itch for horror fans. Dead by Daylight Optional. However, as good as this mod sounds, there are four more tie-ins to consider, and depending on what you're looking forward to in June 2026, they could be even more exciting.
Along with LTM, Loki's The Avengers Skin is confirmed to appear in costumes Marvel Rivals. This is her second MCU skin and was her most requested look outside of Lady Loki.
What other Avengers events might the Marvel Rivals involve?
Age of Ultron
- Skin principles: MCU Ultron, AoU Scarlet Witch, Mark 45 Iron Man
- Mode Theory: PvE against Ultron bots
when it comes Age of UltronIt's hard to imagine a better opportunity for a successor to the popular Marvel Zombies PvE mode. NetEase has already promised more PvE content is coming to its game after the success of Marvel Zombies, and a survival mode where players practically write themselves to fight wave after wave of Ultron bots before fighting the villain. Like Marvel Zombies, players can upgrade their characters, which can be the hero roster from the film. Perhaps a mind-controlled Hulk could be an extra boss fight if the mode is structured like Marvel Zombies and is a linear mission, although without the Hulkbuster, the battle doesn't feel quite right. Regardless, a PvE Ultron mode feels very promising
Eternal War
- Skin principles: IW Thor, IW Black Widow, IW Mantis
- Mode Theory: PvP against a player-controlled Thanos
When it comes to Infinity War, another asymmetric multiplayer mode will work. However, in contrast with The Avengers and Age of UltronWhile the assets already exist in the game, there is no Thanos content Marvel Rivals still He will be important to make Eternal War and end game Events feel special, though, as a playable Thanos in Seasons 8, 9, or 10 isn't out of the realm of possibility. Assuming Thanos shows up before August or in August, he could take on the same role as Loki. The mod can work like a buddy hero shooter OverwatchYeti Hunt LTM, instead of just stopping Winston from collecting meat, players could protect the Infinity Stones from Thanos. If they survive long enough, the heroes will win, while Thanos collecting all the Stones will allow him to win by recreating the snap. Each stone collected can give Thanos a new ability, increasing his chances of success and making things harder for the heroes.
Avengers: Endgame
- Skin principles: Endgame Thor, Endgame Hulk, Endgame Captain America
- mod: PvE against Thanos' army
for the Avengers: EndgameA PvE mode set during the final battle feels too good to pass up. Players could fight through waves of Chitauri as NPCs battled in the background, boss battles against the Black Order would pop up as they progressed through the levels and finally a battle against the AI-controlled Thanos that awaited them. Again, it could take on the Marvel Zombies formula with skill trees and difficulty levels, ensuring replayability for fighting against fresh bosses and new basic enemies. Skins can really shine here as well, with Fat Thor and Smart Hulk standing out from all their existence Rivals looks (a Mark Ruffalo-like Bruce Banner appearance for the latter skin would also be a nice touch).
Marvel rival player bounties weaken your team comp BTW
Anyone celebrating the fast-growing bounty hunting scene of Marvel rivals could use a wake-up call, as this is just as damaging as any troll or thrower.
Doomsday remains a question mark
It's very difficult to nail that big event Marvel Rivals MCU fans are just building towards being short, character-focused Avengers: Doomsday Teasers to close. However, many think that Doom will eventually become a background character Marvel Rivals' Knowledge of a playable hero will begin the film on December 18, and the theory makes sense. Also, Cyclops seems to have a bigger role and is teased for it Marvel Rivals Already, there's a good chance Scott Summers is the second hero to drop along the season doomsday. Skins and mods are up in the air (though making MCU costumes for both of these heroes would be a logical assumption), but with everything leading up to this installment, it can be assumed that NetEase has big plans for December. And if the above principles prove to be correct, there may be happiness for the whole year Marvel Rivals Community.
