NetEase's Marvel Rivals has captured the hearts of millions of hero shooter fans since its release in 2024. The game launched with fresh content and dynamic gameplay combined with a roster of fan-favorite Marvel characters.
Since its release, NetEase has been adding new characters to the game with every season. However, the previous Season 10.5 included no new heroes. As per their seasonal roadmap to Doomsday, players can expect to see Nightcrawler in the next Season 11 update.
When is Nightcrawler Coming Out in Marvel Rivals?
According to the Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 roadmap, the Season 11 update will go live on November 13, 2026. A new update always features a new character for the game, so players can expect to see Gorr join the game on September 11.
From the early promotional materials, it's clear that Nightcrawler is a more strategic and intermediate strategist. Instead of simply being a healer like most strategists, Nightcrawler seems to function more like a hybrid Strategist/Duelist brawler character.
After a deeper look at community chatter, it seems like Nightcrawler will be a major character for mid- to high-ranked lobbies. His ultimate will be an excellent deterrent or catalyst to remove opponents from objectives. Considering how his moveset will work, most players can expect to see Nightcrawler in the ban pool for the first few weeks.
More details regarding Nightcrawler will go live days before the release of Marvel Rivals Season 11, which is expected to be released on November 11, 2026. The update will be available on platforms, making Nightcrawler available as a playable character on day one.
