Refresh
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!
The new Hero for Season 4.5 is Daredevil. The Man Without Fear is a Duelist, using his radar sight ability to track down enemies through walls. His Ultimate inflicts fear on any opponent looking his way, making it extremely powerful against groups.
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:
