Marvel Rivals Season 5.5 Release Date
Marvel Rivals Season 5.5 releases on Friday, 12 December 2025, as part of the mid‑season “Love Is a Battlefield” update. Servers are scheduled to go down for maintenance at 09:00 UTC, with Season 5.5 expected to go live about two hours later, around 11:00 UTC. It’s a classic early‑morning patch: by the time most players wake up, Rogue, new events, and balance changes should already be in the client waiting to be tested (and complained about).
Marvel Rivals Intel (@RivalsAssembled) shared on X the official artwork for Marvel Rivals Season 5.5.
Marvel Rivals (@MarvelRivals) revealed the Season 5.5 roadmap, featuring a new hero, map, events, and costumes, with maintenance starting on Dec 12 at 9 AM UTC for about 2 hours.
Marvel Rivals Season 5.5 All New Modes, Costumes, & Features
Season 5.5’s headline addition is Rogue as a new Vanguard hero, dropping on day one with her “Savage South” launch skin and a new Rogue–Gambit Team‑Up that lets her absorb Gambit’s kinetic energy to add AoE damage and sustain to her brawling kit. Alongside Rogue, Rocket Raccoon gets the “Rocket of the Rafters” costume, and a new Seeds of the Gardener event kicks off to tie the update into the broader season story.
On the modes and events side, Season 5.5 layers content over several weeks rather than dumping everything on day one. Jeffland and Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival arrive as a limited‑time winter map and event, bringing a more playful, holiday‑themed playlist to break up the standard queues.
Winter Celebration skins roll out in waves: Winter Holiday outfits for Cloak & Dagger and Thor, festive looks for Daredevil, Squirrel Girl, Peni Parker, and Star‑Lord, plus later drops like Ice Phoenix for Phoenix and Cosmic Warlock for Adam Warlock. Under the hood, there’s a big balance pass across roles, tweaks to heroes like Emma Frost, Peni Parker, The Thing, and Thor plus Team‑Up reworks to keep high‑level lobbies from feeling completely solved by a handful of duos.
Marvel Rivals Season 5.5 End Time
Marvel Rivals Season 5.5 runs as a mid‑season phase until Season 6 launches on 16 January 2026, when the current battle pass and ranked season roll over. In practice, that means you have just over a month from 12 December to clear the Seeds of the Gardener tasks, farm Jeffland and the Winter Splash Festival, and grab the limited‑time Winter Holiday and late‑season Phoenix/Adam Warlock skins before the game moves on to the next full season.
