    Stones, Showdowns & Spooky Season — Marvel Rivals Season 10.5 Unleashes Path to Doomsday!

    Assemble! Marvel Games and NetEase Games have lifted the lid on Season 10.5 for the blockbuster team-based PVP shooter Marvel Rivals, launching October 9, 2026. This action-packed mid-season update shifts the spotlight squarely onto the next thrilling chapters of the ongoing Path to Doomsday event — kicking off with the spectacular Avengers: Infinity War mode.

    Path to Doomsday Begins — Avengers: Infinity War Mode

    The first major highlight drops right at launch: Path to Doomsday – Avengers: Infinity War, a fresh, fast-paced competitive experience that reimagines how you team up and fight:

    • 6 teams of 2 players — 12 total competitors battle in a round-robin 2v2 deathmatch tournament
    • 13 iconic heroes from Avengers: Infinity War — draft your duo from a rotating pool of characters tied to the film
    • Wakanda battlefield — every clash unfolds across the sweeping, high-stakes fields of Wakanda
    • Health system — lose rounds and your team loses health; drop to zero and you’re eliminated
    • Upgrade between rounds — pick ability-boosting cards to tailor your playstyle and counter opponents
    • Infinity Stones change everything — every team starts with a randomly assigned Stone granting game-altering powers. Defeat rivals and claim their Stones too — pile them up for devastating dominance

    This isn’t just another fight — it’s a race to gather power, outthink your rivals, and stand as the last team standing.

    What’s Next — Endgame Approaches

    Season 10.5 is just the beginning of the full Path to Doomsday story. On October 22, the stakes rise even higher with the arrival of Avengers: Endgame — a massive 50-player PvE showdown against the Mad Titan himself, Thanos. Expect an epic, cinematic-scale battle that recreates the climactic showdown from the film like never before.

    Halloween & Beyond

    Season 10.5 also brings:

    • Spooky seasonal events — limited-time Halloween-themed rewards, cosmetics, and twists
    • Hero balance updates — Iron Man, Phoenix, Gorr, Jubilee and more get tuned for fresh, fair fights
    • Quality of life improvements — stricter penalties for inactivity, match-throwing, and early departures to keep competition sharp
    • No new hero this time — the focus is squarely on events, modes, and polish

  • Unleash the Mutant: Bio-Cyberpunk Shooter HoverGrease 2 Hits PC on May 22

    Unleash the Mutant: Bio-Cyberpunk Shooter HoverGrease 2 Hits PC on May 22

    Get ready to dive back into the neon-soaked chaos of Diamond Core Metropolis. Altergaze has officially announced that HoverGrease 2, the highly anticipated sequel to their cult-favorite twin-stick hero shooter, will launch on May 22, 2026.

    After eight years of development—starting from a 2018 character concept affectionately known as “Sexy Frog Lady”—this “Top-Down Shooter x Hero Shooter” hybrid is finally ready to merge 90s arcade nostalgia with modern tactical depth.


    A World Built on Biotech and Bad Attitudes

    The world of HoverGrease 2 isn’t your typical chrome-and-rain cyberpunk. It’s a bio-cyberpunk dystopia where humanity has mastered the human genome. In this future, mutations aren’t just accidents; they’re the latest trend.

    Players take control of one of 10 unique mutants, each brought to life via full-performance motion capture. Whether you’re fighting through the grime of the Downtown streets in Pine Bay or the neon heights of the Skyrise District, the game’s aesthetic is an unapologetic homage to 80s and 90s classics like Biker Mice from Mars and TMNT.

    Key Features at Launch

    • 14-Chapter Single-Player Campaign: A narrative-driven story mode that explores the backstories of the mutants and the corruption of Diamond Core.
    • Fast-Paced 5v5 Multiplayer: Competitive team-based combat where positioning and reflexes trump complex “builds.”
    • Massive Arsenal: Each mutant comes with their own suite of abilities, totalling over 180 unique weapons and attacks across the roster.
    • Pure Skill, No Pay-to-Win: Altergaze has doubled down on a “skills-only” approach. All heroes and weapons are available for purchase; monetisation is strictly limited to cosmetics like skins and badges.

    Meet the Mutants

    The roster is designed to fit diverse playstyles, moving away from rigid MOBA roles and toward fluid shooter mechanics:

    • Frontline Chaos: Madeye Bull and Piggy D. Smith excel at melee dash-and-slash tactics.
    • Heavy Ordnance: Kimmy Frog brings the heat with high-damage rockets.
    • Precision & Support: Snipe from the shadows with Scarlet Fox or keep the team alive with Labrat Perry.

    Why It’s Worth Your Time

    What sets HoverGrease 2 apart from the crowded hero-shooter market is its “Easy to pick up, hard to master” philosophy. Using a WASD + Mouse or twin-stick gamepad setup, the game feels more like a high-octane arcade shooter than a slow-burning strategy game. It’s about the “arcade thrill,” prioritising the “ooh” and “aah” of a well-placed shot over the math of a character sheet.

    “Strategy and teamwork trump everything, but at its heart, HoverGrease 2 is about the adrenaline of the moment.” — Altergaze Development Team

    HoverGrease 2 launches May 22, 2026, for PC via Steam.
