Marvel Rivals Version 20260911 Patch Notes Bring Season 10 And Scarlet Witch Rework
Season 10 arrives in Marvel Rivals alongside Gorr the God Butcher, a comprehensive Scarlet Witch rework, and Intel XeSS 3 frame generation support. The update also refreshes the battle pass, introduces new esports schedules, and resolves numerous character and map issues.
Marvel Rivals Season 10: The Godbomb launches on September 11, 2026, bringing Gorr the God Butcher to the roster and introducing a gameplay rework for Scarlet Witch. Alongside new story chapters, competitive seasons, and store bundles, this update adds hardware-level performance features like Intel XeSS 3 frame generation and cleans up several hero mechanics.
Scarlet Witch Rework and Hero Adjustments
Scarlet Witch receives a kit overhaul to better channel her hex-casting abilities. She gains a new active ability, Scarlet Hex, which unleashes a magic shockwave dealing 40 damage and applying a Chaos Mark in front of her. Her new passive converts 25% of damage dealt to marked targets into bonus health up to 50. Several character bugs are addressed, including fixing a delayed response for Cloak and Dagger after form-switching during the Oblivion Shroud team-up, stopping Devil Dinosaur from escorting bitten enemies into allied spawn rooms, and resolving a positioning error for Rocket Raccoon when using Krakoan gates with the Planet X Pals team-up. Winter Soldier's ultimate no longer resets when hitting a feigning-death Thor during the Ragnarok Rebirth team-up.
New Content, Battle Pass, and Store Items
Season 10 introduces The Godbomb battle pass featuring ten new costume sets, including White Fox - Cosmic Kumiho, Captain America - Astral Aegis, and Loki - The Chronicler. The seasonal story event, The Tetrameron, tasks players with completing missions alongside Loki for rewards. Additionally, the Season 4 battle pass returns for a limited time until September 24, 2026, while the Endgame Encore event extension offers ongoing discounts on MCU-themed costume bundles through October 9, 2026. A variety of new cosmetic bundles and chroma variants are available in the store for characters like Cloak and Dagger, Gorr the God Butcher, and Emma Frost.
Esports and Competitive Updates
Stage 2 of the Marvel Rivals IGNITE Series kicks off on September 17, 2026, featuring regular season matches across multiple regional series leading up to regional playoffs in October. Season 10 of the Marvel Rivals Championship also begins, allowing teams to compete in open qualifiers for units, exclusive loot, and champion points toward the 2026 season leaderboard. Players can make group stage predictions and subscribe to match schedules through the in-game Esports system to earn rewards.
Performance and Technical Additions
This update adds native support for Intel XeSS 3 Frame Generation on compatible Intel graphics cards, inserting up to three AI-generated frames between rendered frames to improve visual smoothness. This works alongside Intel Xe Low Latency technology to reduce input lag.
Achievement System Updates
Completion conditions for several achievements are updated to align with recent map and story changes, including What a Team-Up! and Cute, Smart, Clever. Five specific achievements receive name changes, such as Echoes of the Abyss changing to Missing Sword Notice and Darkness and Light changing to White Hot History. Previous progress automatically carries over without affecting already completed achievements.
Why this patch matters
Season 10 shakes up the competitive landscape with a transformative rework for Scarlet Witch, a new villain, and broad technical upgrades, giving players plenty of fresh progression targets.
