NetEase Games unveiled the next chapter of Marvel Rivals’ “Path to Doomsday” event at San Diego Comic-Con 2026 on Thursday — a free co-op PvE mode themed around Avengers: Age of Ultron, dropping in-game on 30 July 2026. Singapore players can jump in without any paywall.

Avengers Tower Under Siege

The mode, officially titled “Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Age of Ultron,” sends teams of players against Ultron’s mechanical army across two locations: Avengers Tower and Ultron’s Data Space. According to Beebom’s coverage of the SDCC panel, the in-game storyline opens with the Ultron Virus breaching Avengers Tower, corrupting F.R.I.D.A.Y. and unleashing a relentless swarm of sentries. The new Avengers Tower map is exclusive to this PvE event and will not appear in standard PvP playlists.

New MCU-Inspired Costumes

Three new costumes inspired by Marvel Studios films arrive with the update, as shown at the SDCC booth:

• Scarlet Witch — Avengers: Age of Ultron outfit
• Ultron — Avengers: Age of Ultron armour variant
• Winter Soldier — Captain America: The Winter Soldier look

A physical merchandise line was also revealed: Mattel’s Jeff the Land Shark 12” plush ships with an in-game costume code, while a Hot Toys Luna Snow 1/6 scale figure includes a “Mirae 2026” in-game skin code. New Funko Pop figures for Jeff the Land Shark, Cloak, Dagger, and Deadpool variants were shown as well. Pricing for in-game cosmetics has not been disclosed; local Singapore retail availability for the physical merch is to be confirmed.

“Path to Doomsday” Continues in December

The Age of Ultron mode is Chapter 2 of Marvel Rivals’ ongoing “Path to Doomsday” event. NetEase confirmed at SDCC that additional game modes and in-game events are planned for December 2026 — timed to coincide with Avengers: Doomsday’s theatrical release on 18 December. More details are expected closer to the film’s launch window.

Singapore fans who followed Marvel Rivals Season 9’s Jubilee arc will see the Doomsday roadmap as the biggest in-game story event the game has run so far. Crucially, the free PvE structure means there’s no ranked pressure and no paywall — a format that typically pulls in lapsed players across the region and lowers the entry bar for newer fans joining before Doomsday drops in December.
