NetEase Games has officially lifted the curtain on Marvel Rivals Season 5, titled “Grand Garden Adventure,” and it’s shaping up to be one of the game’s most visually creative updates yet. After weeks of dataminer buzz and community speculation, players finally have a clear look at which heroes are getting new cosmetics and how the upcoming battle pass ties into the game’s evolving storyline.
Season 5 launches November 14, bringing a lush, nature-inspired theme that contrasts sharply with the darker tone of Season 4. This new season follows the introduction of Angela and Daredevil, and it will debut two more fan-favourite mutants—Gambit and Rogue. Gambit arrives at launch as a Strategist, an unexpected twist that caught many players off guard, while Rogue will join the roster during the mid-season update in December.
The Grand Garden Adventure theme blends cosmic and organic aesthetics, weaving together mythic characters like Hela, Angela, and Groot with high-concept alternate-universe designs. Expect lush backgrounds, fantasy motifs, and vibrant seasonal cosmetics that push Marvel Rivals’ art direction further than before.
All Confirmed Season 5 Battle Pass Skins
The Season 5 Battle Pass includes ten hero skins, divided between free and premium tiers. Each design takes inspiration from Marvel’s expansive multiverse, with some leaning into “What If…?” storylines and others celebrating classic comic eras.
| Hero | Skin Theme or Variant |
|---|---|
| Angela | Immortal Beast |
| Hela | What If…? Variant |
| The Thing | Blue Variant |
| Black Widow | 1963 Avengers Classic |

| Ultron | What If…? Variant (Infinity Stones) |
| Scarlet Witch | Classic Costume |
| Groot | Original Nature Theme |
| The Punisher | Frankenstein’s Monster |
| Namor | Undersea Pirate Captain |
These cosmetics will be earned through tier progression, weekly challenges, and Battle Stars. Purchasing the Premium Pass unlocks exclusive rewards, including rumored headline skins for Angela and Ultron. Players who complete every tier can also expect bonus cosmetics and profile frames themed around the Grand Garden Adventure motif.
