Marvel Rivals’ Avengers: Endgame mode opens its first two-hour session tonight, October 23, at 9 p.m. EDT / 6 p.m. PDT, the opening window of a limited-time event that runs until November 26. NetEase lists the same session as October 24, 01:00 to 03:00 UTC in the official Version 20261022 patch notes.
The opening schedule
The patch notes list three sessions for the mode’s first day, all in UTC:
- Session 1: October 24, 01:00 to 03:00 (October 23, 9 to 11 p.m. EDT / 6 to 8 p.m. PDT)
- Session 2: October 24, 10:00 to 12:00 (October 24, 6 to 8 a.m. EDT / 3 to 5 a.m. PDT)
- Session 3: October 24, 18:00 to 20:00 (October 24, 2 to 4 p.m. EDT / 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. PDT)
That adds up to six hours of access across three sessions. For US players, Friday evening and Saturday afternoon are the practical choices; the second session lands in the early morning, especially on the West Coast.
How the mode works
The event itself began with the October 22 patch, which NetEase shipped at 09:00 UTC with no server downtime, but the mode does not open until October 24 in UTC. The mode drops players into a timeline-breach scenario built around Thanos, whose forces tear the cosmos apart and leave the heroes with no choice but to fight. NetEase says the mode runs for four consecutive weeks, with matchmaking available only during the scheduled sessions in the weeks that follow.
Free rewards
The patch notes confirm three rewards. Captain America’s The Winter Soldier costume is the headline free event reward. A Gallery Card unlocks for watching the Avengers: Endgame screening in Times Square continuously for two minutes, and 100 Units are handed out for a group photo with the NPCs at the event’s photo walls. The announcement does not include a complete mission checklist for the costume, so check the in-game requirements.
These rewards are separate from the October Halloween patch’s Rocket Raccoon event, and their requirements are independent of the mode’s play windows.
