Marvel Rivals Season 11 is live, bringing the teleporting X-Men hero Nightcrawler into the team-based shooter alongside a new seasonal story event, Battle Pass rewards and several gameplay updates.
NetEase Games launched the update on November 13. Nightcrawler is the season’s new playable hero, and the new story event, The Acts of Kurt Wagner, sends players on disaster-relief missions as they work through Destiny’s prophecy and earn rewards. Season 11 also introduces the Incursion Battle Pass, with ten costume sets, including Emma Frost’s Seat of Winter, Mantis’ Chronal Harmony and Daredevil’s The Man Without Fear.
Season 11 brings more than a new hero
The update adds new lore for Nightcrawler and the ongoing Doomsday serial. Players can also earn Nightcrawler’s Hope Soared costume as the Season 11 Gold-tier ranked reward. A Twitch Drops campaign runs through December 11 and includes a Devil Dinosaur costume bundle.
NetEase also made controller aim-assist target switching an optional setting called “Aim Assist Target Prediction.” The feature is designed to help players move between enemies more smoothly while preserving the existing aiming feel for players who leave it disabled. The patch also adds recognition and localization of game-specific proper nouns in chat.
On PC, an experimental client optimization using Intel’s compiler and profile-guided optimization is expected by the developer to improve CPU performance by about 10%. NetEase notes that the option remains experimental. The update also includes fixes for several hero, map, audio and visual issues.
Marvel Rivals is available on PC, PlayStation and Xbox. Season 11’s full update notes are available from Marvel Rivals’ official site.
