Marvel Rivals season 2.5 countdown: Exact start time and date
Marvel Rivals is continuously evolving with new additions and adjustments to already existing characters and gameplay features. Season 2.5 is the next major game update that's set to be released, so you may be wondering when you can expect to see it. Since season 2.5 is the halfway point through the overarching season 2, it won't be quite as big as a regular seasonal update. It's still going to be packed with plenty of new content to explore, though, so you'll want to jump in and start exploring it as soon as it's available. Here's when season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals will begin. Table of contents When is Marvel Rivals season 2.5? How long is season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals? What’s included in Marvel Rivals season 2.5? When is Marvel Rivals season 2.5? Screenshot by Destructoid Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals will launch on May 30. We know this is when it will begin because there's a countdown to the end of season two on Competitive. As soon as the current Competitive season ends, season 2.5 begins. A precise launch time for season 2.5 hasn't been announced, but based on past updates, it's expected to start at 3am CT. If a different time is shared, we'll update all relevant details here, but so far, this has reliably been the start time for all new seasons. Our countdown is set to the precise launch time, so you can check back here leading up to the start of season 2.5. We've also listed this time across several major time zones if you want to know the exact start time for your region.

Season 2.5 of Marvel Rivals will last for about a month and a half. The entirety of season two is slated to run for three months, with each half taking up roughly a month and a half. Season 2 starts on May 11, so season 2.5 will conclude on July 11. The end date listed on the battle pass also lines up with this, so we know exactly when season 3 will begin. Screenshot by Destructoid What’s included in Marvel Rivals season 2.5? We don't know a ton about season 2.5 so far, but there are some key details that have already been revealed. Ultron will officially be joining the roster as a Strategist unit. Although his abilities haven't been officially revealed so far, Ultron's full kit and abilities have been leaked, so we already have a solid idea of what he's expected to be capable of. If season 2.5 follows the same pattern as past updates, it should also bring a new map. Some leaks have said we'll be getting Arakko as a new Convoy map. No other possible maps have been teased for season 2.5, so Arakko seems to be the most likely one to join the lineup. Season 2.5 will also see several major balance changes according to the Dev Vision that aired on April 3, 2025. Characters like Jeff the Land Shark, Peni Parker, Scarlet Witch, Mister Fantastic, and Rocket Raccoon may undergo changes since they were mentioned in this video. Some of them already received a few adjustments, but the devs implied that there may be more changes and fresh Team-Ups to further boost their capabilities in season 2.5. There are also sure to be plenty of new events, skins, rewards, game modes, and other such additions throughout season 2.5. All new seasons have lots of surprises, too, so we'll have to wait and see what else season 2.5 has in store.
