Marvel Rivals Season 10, officially titled Butcher’s Blasphemy, is confirmed for Friday, September 11, 2026. NetEase Games has locked in the full schedule of heroes, events, maps, and Pajama Party costumes that roll out across the season, capped by the Season 10.5 mid-season update on October 9.
Quick answer: Season 10 launches September 11, 2026 at 9:00 AM UTC, following a server downtime of at least two hours. Season 10.5 arrives October 9, 2026 with no new hero.
Release time: September 11, 2026 · 9:00 AM UTC
Season 10 launch status and start times
Status: Confirmed. Season 9 ends the same day Season 10 begins, so there is no gap between the two. Servers go down before the switch, and the update usually becomes playable a couple of hours after the downtime starts. Here is when the launch hits across major regions.

What arrives on launch day (September 11)
The season opens with Gorr the God Butcher joining the roster as a melee-focused Duelist. He wields the shape-shifting All-Black Necrosword, summons Black Berserkers from enemies he kills, and repositions using Symbiote Assimilation. His Ultimate turns the weapon into the Annihilablade, commanding every active Black Berserker at once. For the first time in the game’s history, only one new hero launches with a season, as the team shifts focus toward later Path to Doomsday content.
Alongside Gorr, day one brings a Loki-themed event, a new Battle Pass, an accessory, and three costumes.
- New event: The Tetrameron
- New Battle Pass: The Godbomb
- New accessory: Family Portrait Tablet
- Costumes: Gorr the God Butcher “Divine Destroyer”, Cloak and Dagger “Pajama Party”, Emma Frost “Glittering Goddess”
Loki is currently listed as missing in-game and is disabled in modes such as Quick Play and Practice vs. AI, while remaining available in competitive and social modes. That marked-missing state is a deliberate build-up to Gorr, whose story revolves around hunting gods.
Full Season 10 content schedule
New content lands each week for five weeks after launch, covering events, costumes, and a Domination map. Below is the confirmed release calendar.
| Date | Content |
|---|---|
| September 11 | Gorr the God Butcher, The Tetrameron event, The Godbomb Battle Pass, Family Portrait Tablet, launch costumes |
| September 17 | Jeff’s Dream Eater and Jeff’s Superstar Seeking events; Jubilee “Pajama Party”, Magneto “Pajama Party”, Moon Knight “Eternity Knight” |

| October 9 | Season 10.5 mid-season update |
God Quarry is the season’s new Domination map. Galacta’s Gift Vol. 3 returns the fan-favorite free event with a fresh exchange coin and additional skins added to the store, letting you unlock a costume at no cost.
Pajama Party costumes
The Pajama Party set spreads across three drops. Cloak and Dagger start the theme on launch day, with more heroes joining over the following two weeks. Rogue and Jeff the Land Shark are also confirmed to receive Pajama Party looks as part of the same line.
| Release | Pajama Party heroes |
|---|---|
| September 11 | Cloak and Dagger |
| September 17 | Jubilee, Magneto |
| September 25 | Mantis, Daredevil |
Season 10.5 release date (October 9)
Season 10 concludes on October 9, 2026, and Season 10.5 goes live the same day. Unlike a full season, the mid-season update does not add a new hero. Instead, NetEase releases two new game modes tied to Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame as Phases 3 and 4 of the Path to Doomsday event. Details on how each mode plays have not been shared yet.
Rank reset at Season 10 launch
Because Season 10 is a full season, competitive ranks drop by six divisions, equal to two full tiers. End-of-season rewards are tied to your peak rank rather than your current one, so reaching a given division still earns its skin even if you fall below it afterward.
| Season 9 finish | Season 10 starting rank |
|---|---|
| Celestial III | Diamond III |
| Grandmaster I | Platinum I |
| Diamond II | Gold II |
| Platinum III | Silver III |
| Gold III | Bronze III |
Season 10 also rewrites the competitive ban rules. Double bans are gone, replaced by a turn-based voting system where each team bans a character in sequence. The new ban flow remains available to players ranked Gold 3 and above. With Gorr arriving and balance changes touching more than 70% of the roster, the launch on September 11 marks one of the biggest resets to the meta since the game released.
