Marvel Rivals: Daredevil Revealed! Plus Halloween Skins & Cross-Progression!
Get ready, Marvel fans! The world of Marvel Rivals is about to explode with exciting new content. NetEase Games has been busy, and October is shaping up to be a huge month for this team-based hero shooter.
Daredevil Enters the Fray!
The Man Without Fear is officially joining the Marvel Rivals roster! Daredevil, the iconic hero from Hell's Kitchen, is bringing his unique brand of justice to the game as a Duelist. A new trailer showcases Daredevil's gameplay, highlighting his agility and demonic powers. Prepare to see him in action on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (via Steam) when he launches with Season 4.5 on October 10th.
Halloween Haunts Marvel Rivals!
Spooky season is upon us, and Marvel Rivals is celebrating with a range of Halloween-themed costumes! Keep an eye out for special variant covers hitting comic book stands on October 29th, featuring heroes like Jeff the Land Shark, Peni Parker, SP//dr, and Namor in their Halloween best. These frightfully fun and culturally inspired outfits are sure to add a festive touch to your gameplay.
Cross-Progression is Finally Here!
One of the most highly requested features is finally arriving: cross-progression! Creative Director Guangguang confirmed that this has been a top priority for the team. Starting with Season 4.5 on October 10th, a select group of players will be testing the new system. If all goes well, cross-progression will be rolled out to everyone with the launch of Season 5. This means you'll be able to take all your unlocked skins, emotes, and progress across platforms. To use cross-progression, players will go to Settings, then Other, then Account Linking, and choose a primary account. While player ranks and leaderboards will remain separate by platform, this is a huge step forward for player flexibility.
Marvel Rivals already supports cross-play, allowing players on Xbox Series X|S, Windows PC, and PlayStation 5 to play together. Cross-progression takes that integration a step further allowing players to access content regardless of platform.
What's Next?
With Daredevil joining the fight, Halloween festivities kicking off, and cross-progression on the horizon, Marvel Rivals is showing no signs of slowing down. Many are hoping that the character added in Season 5 will be a Strategist.
