What a time to be a Marvel Rivals fan. If you’re not playing this game and you’re a fan of Marvel, then now’s a time to hop in and change that, because this game is next level. The team over at Marvel Rivals continues to drop surprises left and right, and the latest one is a big one. Revealed at San Diego Comic-Con, the game is launching a brand new Age of Ultron PvE mode on July 30, and it looks seriously impressive.
Synopsis
Check out the Marvel Rivals Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Age of Ultron Mode teaser trailer for this upcoming PvE game mode coming to the third-person team-shooter action game. The Age of Ultron mode integrates the new storyline inspired by the movie into the game. Players will use Avengers Super Heroes to battle against Ultron’s army, fighting through Avengers Tower and Ultron’s Data Space.
Marvel Rivals is available on PlayStation 4 (PS4), PlayStation 5 (PS5), Xbox Series X/S, and PC (Steam). The new Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Age of Ultron PvE mode will be available in Marvel Rivals on July 30, 2026 (UTC).
Breakdown
As part of its ongoing Path to Doomsday, Marvel Rivals is taking players on a tour through iconic moments in MCU history, allowing them to experience some of their favourite scenes, storylines and character moments directly in-game. It is an ambitious concept, and based on what has been revealed so far, it looks like the team has gone all out to make it feel authentic.
The update is packed with exciting content. Players can expect exclusive cinematics, re-recorded movie dialogue, and MCU-accurate skins for both Ultron and Scarlet Witch, the kind of detail that will absolutely delight fans of the films.
In terms of gameplay, the mode will see players going up against Ultron and his sentries, alongside a corrupted F.R.I.D.A.Y, as they invade Avengers Tower. It sounds like a genuinely thrilling PvE experience, and a smart way to bring the wider MCU into the Rivals universe in a way that feels earned rather than gimmicky.
New Skins: What’s Included
The Age of Ultron update brings two brand new MCU-accurate skins to the game, including:
- Ultron: a faithful recreation of his look from Age of Ultron, bringing one of the MCU’s most iconic villains into Rivals in style
- Scarlet Witch: her grungier, more battle-worn MCU outfit, a brilliant contrast to the more polished versions of the character we have seen in-game previously
The Age of Ultron PvE mode launches July 30. If you haven’t already, now is a very good time to dust off your controller and dive headfirst into this game. They’re doing the absolute most to keep fans engaged, and I have to say, as a long-time gamer, I’ve never been so impressed with a team’s ability to keep fans on their toes. It’s details like this that make being a fan of the game so exciting, because it’s nice to see how much they care.
