Following months of anticipation, NetEase Games has at last revealed the newest information regarding Season 5 for *Marvel Rivals*, which is set to launch in just a few days. Season 5 of *Marvel Rivals* will prominently showcase the [X-Men](https://www.cgmagonline.com/review/movie/deadpool-and-wolverine-review/), commencing with the introduction of Gambit, the beloved Cajun-accented trickster.

This update will bring forth a fresh, non-combat map located in Times Square, New York City, along with new modes and features, including an exciting Conquest (Annihilation) mode. NetEase also assures smaller yet significant quality-of-life improvements and updates to enhance the overall experience, featuring cross-platform progression, which has been accessible in early access, allowing players to synchronize their accounts across both PC and console versions of *Marvel Rivals*.

The Season 5 update of *Marvel Rivals* will also commemorate the first anniversary of the well-loved Hero (and Villain) shooter, with the update’s theme revolving around Gambit and Rogue’s wedding, which, in true comic book style, goes awry, setting the stage for the new season that NetEase cleverly names *Love is a Battlefield*.

Moreover, *Marvel Rivals* Season 5 will introduce a new mode, the 18 vs 18 Conquest (Annihilation). In this mode, players “will engage in epic clashes on the brand-new Grand Garden map, ensuring unforgettable chaos and enjoyment.” The Conquest mode is scheduled to launch on November 27th, 2025. The team has also mentioned the ongoing development of the recently launched [*Marvel Zombies* PvE mode](https://www.cgmagonline.com/news/marvel-rivals-zombies-pve-trailer-mode/), stating, “In 2026, players can look forward to more PvE content, with further details to follow.”

Season 5 of *Marvel Rivals* is set to debut on November 14, 2025, but for those eager to learn more about the latest update, NetEase has released the newest [Dev Vision 11](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YgH0wM59_Sk), which outlines the thrilling season ahead. The full one-year celebration for *Marvel Rivals* will commence later this month on November 27, 2025.
