Marvel Rivals has officially announced its 2026 operational roadmap. Unveiled during the 'Rivals Assemble' fan event held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on the 4th (local time), the roadmap, titled 'Journey to Doomsday,' promises a steady stream of special events and new game modes through the end of the year.

The 2026 roadmap is structured around the timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Avengers saga. In April, new content and game modes tied to the 2012 film 'The Avengers' will be introduced. This will be followed by content themed after 'Avengers: Age of Ultron' in June, 'Avengers: Infinity War' in August, and 'Avengers: Endgame' in October. In December, new game modes and events will be released in conjunction with the premiere of the upcoming film 'Avengers: Doomsday'.

During the fan event, a new, limited-time asymmetrical game mode was also revealed. In this mode, one player takes on the role of Loki, while the other six players must work together to defeat him. Loki can utilize 'Mind Control' abilities and hero-summoning skills.

Additionally, the company announced a collaboration with Disney Consumer Products. Through this partnership, character figures and toy products inspired by Marvel Rivals heroes will be released and distributed. These products will be available for purchase online and at major retail stores.
