Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 adds Daredevil - Patch notes and server downtime schedule

Marvel Rivals developer NetEase is getting ready to release Season 4.5 on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.

The Marvel Rivals mid-season update adds Daredevil to the roster of characters, as well as new events and store bundles.

Unfortunately, however, it's not all good news, because the launch of Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 coincides with a period of server downtime.

Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 has an October 10 release date. The content will be available following server downtime, which begins at 10am BST UK time.

According to NetEase, Marvel Rivals will be down for 2-3 hours, which means the game will be back online at around midday.

While you wait for the release of the new content, you can check out the Marvel Rivals Season 4.5 patch notes below.
