Marvel Rivals Season 5 Launches Nov. 14 With Gambit, Cross-Progression, and a 100-Player Social Hub

Rogue arrives mid-season, with an 18v18 Conquest update plus first‑anniversary rewards slated for November 27.

Overview

  • Gambit joins at launch as a Strategist who uses Chronovium‑enhanced cards to heal, cleanse, knock back, apply anti‑heal, and boost allies with an ultimate that powers jumps and attacks.
  • Cross‑platform progression debuts at season start, and Competitive mode shifts to 10 placement matches to determine opening rank each season.
  • A new Times Square map opens as a non‑combat social space for up to 100 players to gather, emote, and share moments.
  • The Annihilation Conquest mode brings 18v18 battles on the new Grand Garden map on November 27, alongside 2,500 free Units and a Legendary Jeff the Land Shark costume for the first‑anniversary event.
  • Season changes include new and adjusted Team‑Up abilities and balance updates, while the reveal trailer appears to tease Cyclops for a future season, which has not been confirmed.
