If you thought Marvel Rivals was already wild, buckle up — NetEase just dropped a **six-month MCU crossover roadmap** that ends with the biggest superhero film of the year. It’s called **Path to Doomsday**, and it’s going to reshape how we experience the game throughout 2026.

## What Is Path to Doomsday?

Running from **April to December 2026**, Path to Doomsday is a chain of in-game events and limited-time modes tied directly to every mainline **Avengers film** in the MCU — culminating in a live crossover with *Avengers: Doomsday* on its release date.

Here’s the full release schedule at a glance:

| Month | Crossover Event |
| --- | --- |
| April 2026 | The Avengers (2012) |
| June 2026 | Avengers: Age of Ultron |
| August 2026 | Avengers: Infinity War |
| October 2026 | Avengers: Endgame |
| December 18, 2026 | Avengers: Doomsday 🎬 |

That’s one massive in-game event every two months. For fans of both the MCU and the game, this is basically Christmas five times over.

## Marvel Rivals First Event: Loki vs. Six Heroes 🥷

The April crossover kicks things off with a **limited-time asymmetrical PvP mode** inspired by *The Avengers (2012)*. One player controls a **super-powered Loki**, armed with illusions, deception, and Infinity Stone abilities — going up against six other players. Under specific conditions, those heroes can even **summon Hulk**, recreating one of cinema’s most iconic moments.

Loki also gets a brand-new MCU-inspired skin to match the occasion. Equal parts fan service and gameplay freshness.

## Doctor Doom Incoming?

The December finale is already generating buzz. NetEase teased that December will *“fully ignite the battlefield”* — and fans are speculating this finally confirms **Doctor Doom as a playable character**, timed perfectly with the film’s release. Nothing’s confirmed yet, but the hints are hard to ignore.

[Marvel Rivals](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Rivals) is a free-to-play hero shooter developed by NetEase Games, featuring a constantly expanding roster of Marvel characters across PvP and now increasingly PvE-style modes.

## Season 7 Tease: Black Cat & White Fox

Alongside the roadmap, NetEase hinted at **Black Cat and White Fox** joining the roster in Season 7 — described as “a master thief and a secret agent.” If the in-game teases pan out, Season 7 is shaping up to be one of the game’s biggest updates yet.
