When Does Black Cat Come to Marvel Rivals? - Release Date
More than just your superstition
thephrasemaker.comHere’s the latest I can confirm:
- Black Cat arrived in Marvel Rivals with Season 7.5, released around mid-April 2026. Multiple sources note an April 17, 2026 date for her playable debut as part of the mid-season update.[1][3][5]
- The character is described as a high-skill, melee-oriented Duelist with a potential “luck” or agility theme, and a likely Team-Up with Spider-Man is rumored or hinted in previews. Expect a full reveal of her kit closer to or on launch day.[5][7][1]
- Official roadmaps and subsequent gameplay showcases were released in the weeks around her release, including Season 7.5 event details and early hands-on videos from content creators.[4][6][1]
Illustration (conceptual): Black Cat enters the roster as a mid-season shake-up, similar to a specialized, agile duelist that can threaten backline setups and force new counterplay.
If you’d like, I can pull together a concise timeline of confirmed dates and summarize her expected kit based on the official roadmaps and early previews. I can also look up the latest patch notes from the Season 7.5 update for exact abilities and adjustments. Would you like me to do that?
