Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 launches on October 10, starting downtime at 2 AM PT on all platforms, and will add Daredevil as a playable character. NetEase confirmed the start of Season 4.5 as part of a roadmap for Season 4, which began on September 12. The developer is using a new eight-week season format with a midseason change, so Season 4.5 marks the halfway point and introduces Matt Murdock to the roster.
The official confirmation came on social media, in a post by NetEase on X. The update begins with server downtime at 2:00 AM PT on October 10, the standard window for major updates. Therefore, expect the patch to appear first as maintenance, and then the game will become available shortly after.
