Season one was in full swing with new content being dropped regularly over the past few months, with the Clone Rumble game mode and twerking Venom emote being some of the last new additions to be added for the game’s first official full-length season.

If you’re wondering when the first season ends so you can get your skins for finishing in Gold in Competitive, here’s everything you need to know.

Marvel Rivals season one will end on April 11, 2025, at about 1am ET. The season started on January 10 and will have lasted for almost exactly three months, as previously confirmed by the Creative Director, Guanguang.

If you’re looking to unlock anything in the game or finish ranking up before the season comes to an end, be sure to get it done before the very early morning hours of April 11. The servers will likely be back online with season two at around 4am ET, judging by previous updates that went live on Fridays.

Season two will add Emma Frost and Ultron as new heroes, Krakoa’s Hellfire Gala as a new map, a new battle pass with 10 new skins, new and changing team-up abilities, and a whole bunch of quality-of-life updates as shown in the season two patch notes.

The duration of season one’s first half was from January 10 to February 21, 2025. It introduced new heroes to the roster, namely Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman, the Doom Match game mode, the Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown and Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown maps, a new rank, and more.

The second half of season one brought a lot of new content to the table, too. The other two remaining members of the team, The Thing and Human Torch, joined the game’s roster as a Vanguard and Duelist, respectively, but that was just part of what was new. Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event, for example, where you could complete multiple challenges to earn rewards. It also included a free Black Widow skin, along with other free skins throughout seasonal events.

Season one set the standard for what players should expect from a Marvel Rivals season, at least for now. NetEase has already confirmed that, starting in season three, seasons will be just two months long and add one new hero every month of the year, upping the stakes when it comes to live-service titles.

Given that season two should follow the same model of season one, though, it’s safe to expect way more than just Emma Frost, Ultron, a new map, and new skins, too.
