NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, setting the stage for an exciting Season 2 launch in mid-April. The developers of this acclaimed hero shooter have shared a comprehensive update on their website, detailing a host of hero fixes and map enhancements that will go live this Thursday, March 27, at 9am (UTC+0). Best of all, the update will be deployed without any server downtime, allowing you to dive right into the action and experience the changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist as soon as they're available.
One of the standout features in this Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is a delightful addition to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. It's a special April Fool's Easter egg reward, exclusively for those who've completed the event. While NetEase keeps the details under wraps, describing it only as a "hidden twist surprise," eager fans will discover its nature later this week.
With this update, Marvel Rivals promises smoother gameplay with fewer instances of characters clipping through maps. Although specific details on affected maps are sparse, the team has confirmed fixing a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that could occasionally result in teammates being revived outside the playable area.
As Season 1 winds down and Season 2 approaches, the update brings a multitude of fixes to hero abilities. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch receive targeted tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, sees significant improvements to his Feral Leap and Ultimate, ensuring these abilities function more consistently.
Anticipation is building for Marvel Rivals Season 2, set to launch on April 11, 2025. Speculation about new heroes is rife, with many fans expecting a focus on Marvel's infamous Hellfire Gala. If these rumors hold true, characters like Blade and Emma Frost might soon join the fray, fulfilling NetEase's commitment to introduce at least one new hero every half-season.

Pick-Up Bundle
Fixes
All Platforms
General
1. Resolved an issue in Custom Game where a disconnected player's character would still appear on the Like page during match settlement.
Maps and Modes
1. Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to sometimes become stuck or clip into strange areas.
2. Squashed a glitch in the Hydra Charteris Base map where Rocket Raccoon's B.R.B. could sometimes revive teammates outside the play area due to terrain changes.
Heroes
1. Wolverine's Terrifying Pounce: Resolved an issue where the Hulk could sometimes have abnormal behavior after being catapulted into a terrain KO by Wolverine's Feral Leap. Now, the big guy gets the proper beatdown without any off-script environmental stunts!
2. Iron Fist's Wall-Climbing Whimsy: Fixed a glitch in Practice Range where Iron Fist wall-climbing was beyond expectations. The master of martial arts can now keep his acrobatic feats on track!
3. Iron Man's Teleportation Tangle: In Sanctum Sanctorum, Iron Man's use of Hyper-Velocity followed immediately by portal entry could occasionally throw a wrench in the works—resulting in the ability to misfire and some off-color special effects. Now, Iron Man's high-tech strategy is as sleek as ever, letting him jet in and out as he pleases.
4. Loki-Doctor Strange's Forbidden Tech: Fixed an issue in Doom Match where Loki's transformation into Doctor Strange allowed the use of the forbidden Pentagram of Farallah. This mind-warping mix-up has been vanquished.
5. Magneto's Magnetic Moments: Resolved an issue in the post-match where Magneto's MVP could sometimes display some bizarre, offbeat visuals. The master of magnetism now commands his moments with true polar precision.
6. Wolverine's Ultimate with Pinpoint Precision: Fixed a snag in Wolverine's Ultimate Ability where, under high network latency, foes sent flying and slammed into the ground could sometimes end up in the wrong location. Now, every Last Stand lands exactly where it should.
7. Human Torch's Fiery Focus: Addressed a rare bug where the Human Torch's Primary Attack would sometimes miss its target entirely, leaving his incendiary prowess a little less scorching. With this fix, every burst of flame burns as brilliantly as intended—ensuring his heat is always on target!
Console
1. Eliminated a bug that sometimes caused the focus to unpredictably shift to earlier messages when opening the chat window.
