NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, setting the stage for an exciting lead-up to Season 2's launch in mid-April. As the developers behind Marvel's beloved hero shooter, NetEase has shared a comprehensive update on their website, detailing the enhancements and fixes that will go live this Thursday, March 27. Players can look forward to diving straight into the game without any server downtime, as the update rolls out at 9am (UTC+0).
A standout feature of the Season 1 update is an unexpected addition to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This special April Fool's Easter egg gift is exclusively for players who have completed the event. NetEase teases this reward as a "hidden twist surprise," leaving fans eagerly anticipating what's in store when it becomes available from April 1 to April 4, 2025.
With this update, Marvel Rivals also aims to improve gameplay by reducing instances of characters clipping through maps. While specific maps weren't detailed, the team has confirmed fixing a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that occasionally resulted in teammates being revived outside the play area.
As Season 1 winds down and Season 2 approaches, the update brings significant fixes to hero-related glitches. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all set to receive ability tweaks. Notably, Wolverine's Feral Leap and Ultimate will function more consistently, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.
Anticipation builds for Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife about which new heroes might join the roster, with many fans expecting a focus on Marvel's Hellfire Gala. This could potentially introduce characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.
