When Did Marvel Rivals Pre-Season (Season 0) Start?

When the game was released on December 6, 2024, it kickstarted the zeroth season of the game, also known as the pre-season. This is a common approach that many live service games take before going into a full-fledged first season, which also ends up adding a lot more content. For instance, both Call of Duty and Fortnite follow a similar approach. Fortnite has Week 0 quests for new seasons, while Call of Duty has the first season much later after the launch of a new title.

When Does Marvel Rivals Season 0 End?

While the developers have not officially announced the start date for Season 1, the end date of Marvel Rivals Season 0 can be known from the duration of the Battle Pass. The Battle Pass ends on January 10, 2025, at 06 am UTC, so that is the time players can expect Season 0 to conclude as well. As far as the start of Season 1 is concerned, its start date is unknown. It also depends on how long the maintenance downtime will last for Marvel Rivals between Season 0 and Season 1 — if there is any.

What To Expect From Marvel Rivals Season 1?

While fans usually rely on leaks to know what's coming in the next major update of popular games, with Marvel Rivals, there has been a problem of plenty. There have been so many leaks at this point, with about 15 characters leaked for Marvel Rivals, that it's quite difficult to predict which characters will be added to the game for Season 1. Most leaks suggest that Ultron and Fantastic Four could be added to Marvel Rivals soon, but the developers might switch it up to surprise fans.
