Gorr the God Butcher Joins Marvel Rivals for Season 10

NetEase positions the season as a payoff to its god‑killing storyline while introducing broad roster balance edits and a revised competitive ban system.

Overview

  • Gorr the God Butcher was officially revealed by NetEase on Tuesday and will be added to Marvel Rivals when Season 10 goes live on Sept. 11, 2026.
  • The Season 10 trailer shows Gorr attacking Asgard and driving the All‑Black Necrosword through Loki, and the game currently marks Loki as missing and unselectable in several modes.
  • NetEase’s Dev Vision Vol. 21 classifies Gorr as a Duelist whose All‑Black sword can change forms, who summons phantom Black Berserkers after kills, and who uses dashes and teleports with an empowered ultimate.
  • For the first time the studio is releasing only one hero in a season so it can shift resources to Phases 3–4 of the Path to Doomsday event, and it will add a new Domination map called God Quarry on Sept. 24 plus themed events and skins.
  • The update also brings sweeping balance edits affecting roughly 70% of the roster and a new competitive ban process that removes simultaneous double bans in favor of sequential voting, changes likely to reshape ranked play and the esport meta.
