Marvel Rivals Adds Nightcrawler and Dracula in Season 11

Marvel Rivals has confirmed Nightcrawler and Dracula as new playable characters for Season 11, titled Doomsday.

Nightcrawler Joins on November 13

Nightcrawler will join Marvel Rivals when Season 11 launches on November 13, 2026. He is confirmed as a Strategist, the game’s 13th healer, and the 55th hero to join the roster. His attacks deal damage to enemies and heal allies, and he can teleport allies out of danger. His ultimate ability, Phasing Finale, grants Damage Boost, Healing Over Time, and Bonus Health to himself and nearby allies before teleporting them to a target location, where a Smoke Domain forms.

Dracula Expected in December

Dracula is expected to join in a mid-season update, Season 11.5, in December. Source 1 states he will be added in the half-season update expected sometime in December. Source 3 reports that Dracula will be a Vanguard, while Source 1 says he is likely a Vanguard based on his build.

Season 11 Story and Other Details

Season 11 features an Incursion between two timelines, New York and Nueva York, with two versions of Doctor Doom involved. The season coincides with the release of Avengers: Doomsday in cinemas. Doctor Doom is not included as a playable character in Season 11, though players expect him to be added in a future season.

Why it matters

The additions expand Marvel Rivals’ roster and support class, while the Doomsday theme ties the game to the upcoming film release.
