Marvel Rivals Version 20261022 introduces the Avengers: Endgame-themed Path to Doomsday mode alongside store bundles, Times Square events, and various hero bug fixes. Players can earn Captain America's Winter Soldier costume for free during the event period running from October 22 to November 26, 2026.
Marvel Rivals Version 20261022 drops on October 22, 2026, with no server downtime required. The update brings a limited-time Avengers: Endgame event mode, new store bundles, Times Square activities, and several fixes for hero abilities and cosmetic clipping.
Path to Doomsday Event and Times Square Activities
The Path to Doomsday mode runs from October 24 to November 26, 2026, offering players a chance to earn Captain America's The Winter Soldier costume and other rewards for free. The mode is active for limited windows each week. In Times Square, players can watch a two-minute Avengers: Endgame screening to unlock an exclusive Gallery Card, and take group photos with NPCs outside the Avengers' Gift Shop to earn 100 Units.
Hero Bug Fixes
Black Cat's Portal Paws no longer occasionally fails to let her use wall portals immediately after casting Fortune's Favor - Phantom Pursuit. Black Widow's Widow's Bite Slam no longer causes abnormal directional shifting. Hawkeye no longer has a visual glitch that made his hands appear empty when switching from Psionic Arrow to standard arrows.
Competitive and Audio Adjustments
Competitive mode now correctly counts Team Wipe achievements toward ACE! goals even if an opposing player has quit the match. The update also resolves an SFX glitch for The Punisher's Dangan Ronin costume when paired with the Daredevil Team-Up, fixes an audio bug with Hawkeye's Psylocke Team-Up, and stops incorrect MVP animations from playing when heroes are swapped mid-round and the enemy surrenders.
Costume and Model Polish
Doctor Strange's Avengers: Infinity War costume has model clipping fixes for the Cloak of Levitation. Blade's Vampire King costume corrects the blade edge direction on the showcase screen. Thor's The Avengers costume receives smoother animations and model clipping adjustments.
Why this patch matters
Version 20261022 focuses primarily on themed event content and quality-of-life bug fixes for hero mechanics and cosmetics rather than balance overhauls.
