The Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 release date and timing are synchronized across all platforms, meaning players on PC and consoles will get equal access without any regional delays.

What to Expect in Marvel Rivals Season 4.5

The highlight of the new update is, without a doubt, the introduction of Daredevil as a playable hero. Known for his unmatched agility and sharp reflexes, the blind vigilante brings a new level of versatility to the Marvel Rivals roster.

Daredevil is categorized as a Duelist, a fast and dynamic fighter specializing in close-quarters combat. His signature ability, Radar Sense, allows him to detect and mark enemies even through obstacles, a move inspired by his heightened senses in Marvel lore. Additionally, players can wield his iconic billy clubs for high-impact melee damage.

Daredevil’s addition follows Angela’s debut earlier in Season 4, expanding the lineup with yet another fan-favorite hero.

Team-Up Abilities, Halloween Event, and Cross-Platform Play

Alongside Daredevil’s debut, Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 introduces several new team-up abilities that promise to change multiplayer dynamics. Among them:

• Bestial Hunt — a new team-up attack between Daredevil and The Punisher.
  
• Deep Wrath — a synergy move linking Hela and Namor.
  

However, not all older abilities are surviving this update. The Ragnarok Rebirth combo between Hela and Thor is being removed, and Gamma Charge will now only include Hulk and Black Panther, with Namor being dropped from the combo lineup.

To celebrate the spooky season, a Halloween event is also being rolled out, featuring themed costumes, in-game challenges, and limited-time rewards.

Adding to the excitement, developers have teased a new game mode, the details of which will be officially unveiled during the Thailand Game Show on October 17.

Another major development this season is the testing phase for cross-platform progression, allowing players to carry over progress across devices — a feature that’s set for full implementation in Season 5.0.

Based on previous update cycles, Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 is expected to last about a month, concluding around November 10, 2025.
