Marvel Rivals Sets Season 5 for Nov. 14 Launch With Gambit at Start, Rogue to Follow

The season answers player requests by adding cross-progression across platforms.

Overview

  • Gambit joins at launch as a Strategist, with card-based healing and cleanses, anti-heal damage, staff close-quarters options, and a team-boosting ultimate.
  • Rogue is confirmed to arrive mid-season, while a brief Cyclops cameo in the trailer is a tease rather than an announced roster addition.
  • A non-combat Times Square social map goes live at launch, hosting up to 100 players for hangouts, emotes, and community activities.
  • An 18v18 Conquest mode called Annihilation debuts on the Grand Garden map on November 27, alongside first-anniversary giveaways of 2,500 Units and a free Legendary Jeff skin.
  • Season 5 introduces cross-platform progression at launch plus competitive placement matches, new and adjusted Team-Up abilities, and broader balance updates.
