New content continues to come thick and fast in Marvel Rivals, with the release date for Season 6.5 now rapidly approaching.
The launch of Season 6 made waves with the long-awaited addition of Deadpool, but NetEase is not resting on their laurels and have plenty more up their sleeves in future drops.
For all the details on the Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 release date, start times, and what to expect, Insider Gaming has you covered.
When Does Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 Release?

Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 kicks off on February 13, but the mid-season transition means you won’t need to rapidly grind through the Battle Pass.
As is customary in the mid-seasdon update, the Season 6 Battle Pass will continue, but there will be new additions in Season 6.5, including new cosmetics and likely limited-time passes.
The slew of new content won’t be as big as was seen at the start of Season 6, however, with the next big drop instead coming at the start of Season 7 in May.
Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 Start Times
The start time for Marvel Rivals Season 6.5 has not been confirmed, but previous updates suggest the season will kick off at 2 AM PT on February 13.
That means a later start in morning for those elsewhere in the United States, though it will still be in the early hours, while those in Europe have to wait until mid-morning, and those down under must wait until th evening.
