Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 is almost here! So, here’s the deal: we’re getting a new Duelist, fresh map, bunch of events, and some skins. And no, you won’t snag these skins just by playing. They’re separate from the Season 3 battle pass. There’s also a fresh event popping up, swapping in for the summer extravaganza with a tiny battle pass thingy.
Now, if you’re like me and can’t remember time zones, I’ve got you covered. Marvel Rivals Season 3.5 kicks off after some maintenance — the usual routine. It starts around 5 a.m. EDT. But maintenance is like life’s unpredictable dance. Typically, it lasts 2-3 hours. So, fingers crossed, by 8 a.m. EDT on Aug. 8, we should be in business. Here’s a cheat sheet for the rest:
– 5 a.m. PDT – West Coast, you early birds
– 8 a.m. EDT – East Coast, sit tight
– 9 a.m. BRT – Brazil, don’t miss out
– 1 p.m. BST – UK, have your tea ready
– 2 p.m. CEST – Western Europe, power up
– 9 p.m. JST – Japan, night owls
– 10 p.m. AEST – East Coast Australia, tuck in late
And this season? Short and sweet, about a month. Then boom! Season 4 on Sept. 12.
What’s up with Season 3.5? Blade, that’s who. Coolest Duelist since Phoenix hit the scene. Also, he’s kind of the boss in Marvel Rivals Infinity comics’ third series. He teams up with Shuri, which is super cool. Oh, and on Aug. 22, a new map drops — Klyntar, with a mode called Resource Rumble. Wild, right?
The big thing? Queen’s Codex! It’s got its own mini-battle pass, like that summer swimsuit thing back in Season 3. And hey, a free symbiote skin for The Thing! More skins are coming too:
– Cloak and Dagger’s Polarity Bond – Aug. 15
– Winter Soldier’s Polarity Soldier – Aug. 15
– Iron Man’s Extrembiote Armor – Aug. 22
– Scarlet Witch’s Phoenix Chaos – Aug. 29
– Peni Parker’s Wasteland Mech – Sept. 5
Stay alert, it’s gonna be a ride!
