Marvel Rivals Timeline/Reading Order

Same writer as the main Rivals infinity comic so I assume it's linked to that and follows the vacation quartet's POV of Season 4
 
Voyage to Astonish Gallery Card: "Voyage to Astonish"
• Namor takes Peni and Jeff to Miktlan, for a festival where they remember the dead. It's really sweet. I'll place this at the end since it lines up with the tournament being delayed and seems to kind of follow up on the Namor/Hela team up

Marvel Zombies: Midtown
• The opening text says it's a universe on the brink destruction bc of the Entanglement and a virus from the Quantum Realm swept across Earth infecting heroes. Vision got killed which led to the already zombified Scarlet Witch. I'll place it just before Voyage to Astonish since it can go basically anywhere post-Entanglement but Rivals tends to keep like things close together

The trailer looks like it's showing the temporal storm that swept Krakoa into 2099 (Cyclops goes missing, the hurricane swirls, etc.) so I'll place this at the start of the Entanglement
 
Gambit: "Deal of a Lifetime"
• Rocket mentions that they've been to Kun-Lun so this can go after Season 4 and Gambit mentions his deal with the Grandmaster to steal from the Collector. It explains that Gambit and Rogue were on their honeymoon in space while Ultron attacked Krakoa, and that the Grandmaster gave Gambit his Chronovium Die

Collectible: "Chronovium Die of the Grandmaster"
• I'll place it before Gambit's story since this is something he gives to him

Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Grand Games"
• The Grandmaster talks about how the Entanglement has affected the Elders of the Universe and he talks about his plan to enlist Gambit to still a contract with Doom that Collector is keeping. I'll put it before Gambit's story and the Dice collectible

Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Museum Security"
• Goes at the end of the Serial and its Collector planning to send Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone after Rogue/Gambit for stealing the contract.
Grand Garden: Conquest
• Sorry there's not a better subtitle, the stage isn't actually out yet. The cinematics show Gambit and Rogue spending time on the Grand Garden and Rogue's powers going out of control with Gambit in his Guild uniform. It can go after Gambit's story

Team Up Profile: "Explosive Entanglement"
• Takes place while Magneto and Gambit are fighting Grandmaster's goons and it says Magneto's banished Rogue from Krakoa to avoid her losing control there. I'll place it after the Grand Garden map

Team-Up Profile: "Sword of Duality"
• They mention that Daredevil wiped out the hand in his timeline and the group is fighting through Hand in what I assume is the Present Timeline. Since it's after they've met Daredevil, I'll place it after everything in Season 4 and before Season 5's stuff

Team-Up Profile: "Blade of Khonshu"
• It mentions Moon Knight being surrounded by a horde of vampires and Blade coming to his rescue so it's possible that this takes place during Season 1. I thought about placing it before Iron Man's Season 1 story (before Blade gets kidnapped) and possibly moving the Lunar Force team-ups from Pre-Entanglement to just after this one. But at the same time Spidey's story says that Blade was MIA when the invasion started so I think I'll place it pre-Entanglement with Lunar Force

Team-Up Profile: "Primal Flame"
• Widow mentions her time on Klyntar and bonding with the Phoenix so I'll place this after everything in Season 4 too since Shou-Lou postponing the tournament seems to be a safe sort of downtime between seasons and major events
 
Actually now that I think about it Blade of Khonshu can also go in that downtime between seasons since I doubt Blade being an avatar of Khonshu wouldn't have come during the Vampire invasion, so I'll adjust that
 
Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "About to Make a Name for Myself"

• It's Gambit and Rogue finally enjoying a picnic at the grand garden and the X-Men showing up too, but there's no fighting yet so I'll place it just before the map
 
Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Phantoms of the Past"

• It's Doom 2099 having visions of a woman trapped in hellfire and calling out to him and he's learned that the key to learning about her is linked to the contract the Collector has. Since the Gallery Cards are typically in order I'll place this after "About to Make a Name for Myself" since this is likely before things go downhill in the garden
 
Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Trouble in Paradise"
• It's Gambit sneaking out to do his Thieves Guild MVP and Galacta says that Rogue and Magneto aren't asleep and know he's sneaking out. I'll place it after the Doom card
 
All Systems Go Gallery Card: "All Systems Go"
• It pretty much explains how and why Galacta became an e-girl and that she's visiting Times Square for Rivals Day. It also explains the Cake themed skins. I'll put it at the end of the timeline for now after Season 5's events
 
Rogue: "Forever Alone"
• It's Rogue's POV of the Trouble in Paradise Card so I'll place it right after

Team-Up Profile: Chilling Assault (S5.5)
• Forge appearance!! It's Emma Frost in Forge's workshop and he's studying Luna Snow's Dark Ice left over from Ultron's attack, so I'll place this in the same gap between seasons 4 and 5 with the other Team-Ups

Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Cosmic Contest"
• It's the Collector and Grandmaster going band for band before the game is interrupted by an alarm going off (Gambit stealing), so I'll place this before Rogue's story since it's what leads to Gambit running back to Rogue

Love is a Battlefield Gallery Card: "Broken Vows"
• Starts with Gambit stumbling over his words after escaping and being confronted by Rogue like in the end of her story, so it can go after. It also follows up on the Grand Garden map (Grandmaster tearing up the fake contract). It can also go before the Explosive Entanglement team-up since it can be assumed that the cosmic enforcers they're fighting are chasing them after they decide to run and it has Gambit confronting Magneto for exiling them (which he learns here)

Collectible: "Chronovium Cabinet of the Collector"
• Talks about the cabinet the collector hid the contract in that Collector talks about in the final Gallery Card so I'll place this right before Museum Security

Season 6 Night at the Museum Trailer
• The Game Awards surprise that revealed Deadpool and Elsa Bloodstone as the next heroes and it can go at the end for now
