Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Roadmap Revealed: New Duelist Hero, Skins & Events

The developers at NetEase are set to implement the “The Hunt is On” mid-season update. And following the standard norms, they have now shared the season 7.5 roadmap in detail. The update introduces a new hero, limited-time events, both PvE and PvP modes, and several cosmetics.

The content rollout is planned in weekly phases between April and May 2026, which seems to be the current approach. On that note, let's take a brief of Marvel Rivals Season 7.5 Roadmap and what unique changes will be a part of this update.

Season 7.5 Roadmap Showcases a Lot of Potential

While saying that, the roadmap shows potential; we mainly focus on the number of events that Marvel fans will witness. According to the officials, season 7.5 will go live on April 17, 2026, bringing Black Cat as a Duelist character. She arrives with her own cosmetic set, named “Urban Predator” outfit.

Now, let's break down the content on a date basis:

April 17, 2026

Apart from that, NetEase has also planned to release two interesting items for the backline menace, Spiderman. The following content will be part of the day 1 update. The first item is Peter Parker: The Photographer costume, and the second item is the Symbiote Spider-Man plush. On the other hand, Blade will also receive a costume named Space Outlaws.

Lastly, the ESU Open Day event brings a step-by-step progression system. Based on what the officials have mentioned, it'll debut in-game as a mini battle pass. Only one of the three skins: Psylocke, Squirrel Girl, and Mantis costumes will be free, while the rest of the two will be locked behind a premium paywall.
