By the numbers: this timeline documents 2 events from Oct 6, 2026 to Oct 7, 2026, drawn from 5 sources.
Our take
The absence of a new hero in Season 10.5 marks a strategic shift for NetEase, prioritizing the 'Path to Doomsday' narrative arc over roster expansion. By launching the 50-player Endgame PvE mode on October 22, the developers are testing large-scale cooperative mechanics that will likely define the gameplay for the upcoming Season 11, which is rumored to feature Doctor Doom.
Background
Season 10, which introduced Gorr the God Butcher, has been running for several weeks, leading up to the mid-season update.
Season 10.5 is notable for being the first mid-season update in the game's history to not include a new playable hero. Instead, the focus shifts to new limited-time game modes and seasonal events. The update is scheduled to last five weeks, bridging the gap between Season 10 and Season 11, which is expected to launch in November 2026.

Our read of the evidence
Mostly unverified. The roadmap details are based only on reports from two gaming news outlets and have not been corroborated by a primary source such as the developer or publisher. No official statement from NetEase or Marvel has been cited, so the information remains unverified. The planned launch of the new mode, the Halloween event and the anticipated start of the next season are still pending confirmation.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
November 13, 2026: Season 11 begins, which is expected to be the final season of the year and may introduce Doctor Doom.
October 9, 2026: Season 10.5 reportedly goes live at 9 AM UTC, introducing the Path to Doomsday: Infinity War limited-time mode. This 2v2 PvP mode features 13 Avengers heroes and uses Infinity Stones for upgrades.
October 15, 2026: The Hallow’s Glow event reportedly starts, allowing players to earn new Halloween-themed costumes and cosmetics for free. Heroes such as Devil Dinosaur, Blade, and Scarlet Witch receive new outfits.
