Marvel Rivals, the free-to-play hero (and villain) shooter from NetEase Games, is still going strong, with its fourth season, dubbed 'Heart of the Dragon,' bringing some pretty exciting things to players. Not only is Angela, Thor's sister/Odin's daughter, coming into the game as a Vanguard, but it seems Daredevil will be joining the fray in the second half of the season (on or after October 10).

Marvel Rivals Reveals Season 4 Patch Notes

If you want to know the exact time that Season 4 of Marvel Rivals starts, then worry not! The devs have confirmed that maintenance for Marvel Rivals Season 4 will actually begin on September 12 at 9 AM UTC, and is expected to take around two to three hours. In this case, we can expect the game to go live at around noon UTC.

If you live in the United States (where most of our readers are from), Marvel Rivals Season 4 should start on the West Coast at around 5 AM Pacific Time on Friday, September 12. For those on the East Coast, like New York, the release time should be 8 AM Eastern Time on September 12.

Being an online game, there's bound to be issues with servers and other things, so take these release times with a grain of salt. There's a big chance the new content will come a little later than intended!

It's also worth noting that the launch day for Season 4 of Marvel Rivals is bringing the game to PlayStation 4 users for the first time! Millions of people still play their PS4s, so there should be a significant increase in player counts, hopefully adding to the longevity of Marvel Rivals.
