Same update adds Infinity Finale event rewards, Halloween cosmetics, and Alchemax Headquarters to 18v18 Annihilation — separate from the two Path to Doomsday modes above.

Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Infinity War

2v2 duo PvP for the Infinity Stones

Oct 9 – Dec 11, 2026 (09:00 UTC)

Players
12 players (6 duos)
Format
Head-to-head 2v2 rounds; first duo to hold all six Infinity Stones wins the match

Six two-player squads fight in short duels inspired by Avengers: Infinity War. Between rounds you draft random ability cards to shift power spikes, and eliminated teams drop their Infinity Stone for others to claim — so late-game stone control swings hard.

  • Each round pits two duos against each other (often on Wakanda-themed spaces from the film tie-in).
  • Random cards between rounds upgrade abilities and stats — comps are not fixed 6v6 ranked lineups.
  • Teams start with assigned Infinity Stones; stones grant powerful effects when timed well.
  • When a duo is eliminated, survivors can pick up their stone, enabling comeback and kingmaker moments.
  • Hero pool is limited to iconic cast members from Marvel Studios' Avengers: Infinity War (not the full Rivals roster).

Stream beats

  • Explain this is duo PvP, not standard 6v6 — pair picks and card RNG matter more than ranked team templates.
  • Call out stone steals after eliminations — good clip bait for chaotic finishes.
  • Link viewers to /heroes for main-mode comp ideas; note many ranked staples may be unavailable in this pool.

Path to Doomsday — Avengers: Endgame

Large-scale PvE vs Thanos

From Oct 22, 2026

Players
Up to 50 players
Format
Co-op PvE assault on Thanos and his forces at the ruined Avengers Compound

The second Path to Doomsday chapter scales up to a massive cooperative fight — dozens of players together against Thanos and his army, recreating Endgame-style spectacle rather than round-based PvP.

  • Set in the ruins of the Avengers Compound after the snap-era battle.
  • Designed as a large PvE horde/boss experience (NetEase has compared scale to prior seasonal PvE, but much bigger than 4-player events).
  • Expect cinematic beats and boss pressure rather than stone collection or card drafting.
  • Arrives mid Season 10.5 as the Infinity War mode continues on its own schedule.

Stream beats

  • Launch-day stream: treat as a community raid — low comp theory, high chaos and boss phases.
  • Contrast with Infinity War on the same page so chat knows which mode is PvP duos vs PvE mob.
  • After playing, send ranked viewers back to /team-builder for standard 6v6 prep.
