Who is the new hero in Marvel Rivals Season 11?<\/h2>\n

Nightcrawler<\/strong>. NetEase’s patch notes sum him up with his famous “BAMF!”: the fuzzy elf teleports into the roster alongside a new lore entry, Leap of Faith<\/em>. The notes describe the season’s story as two timelines on the brink of devastation, saved “alongside a demonic-looking saint of unwavering faith and a displaced king fighting for a home he can’t return to”. NetEase hasn’t detailed Nightcrawler’s full ability kit in the patch notes; the Season 11 Dev Vision video<\/a> covers the season in more depth.<\/p>\n

What’s in The Incursion Battle Pass?<\/h2>\n

The Season 11 Battle Pass, The Incursion<\/strong>, has 10 new sets of costumes<\/strong>. NetEase highlights Emma Frost – Seat of Winter<\/strong>, Mantis – Chronal Harmony<\/strong> and Daredevil – The Man Without Fear<\/strong>. The Season 11.0 Gold-tier rank reward is Nightcrawler – Hope Soared<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

New in the store from 13 November: the Nightcrawler Steadfast Swordsman bundle, Gambit’s Versatile Valet bundle, The Hood’s Astral Oblivion bundle, a Nightcrawler X-Force costume, emoji bundles, new chromas for Gambit and Mantis, and a Pickles plush accessory for Nightcrawler.<\/p>\n

What is The Acts of Kurt Wagner event?<\/h2>\n

It’s the new seasonal story event. You team up with Nightcrawler (Kurt Wagner) to decipher Destiny’s prophecy and lead disaster relief operations, earning event rewards along the way.<\/p>\n
