NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, setting the stage for the exciting launch of Season 2 in mid-April. The developer of this beloved hero shooter has detailed an array of updates that will be seamlessly integrated into the game this Thursday, March 27, without any server downtime. Players can jump right in at 9am (UTC+0) to experience enhancements to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist.

A standout feature of this Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is the introduction of a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward, a "hidden twist surprise," is accessible only to those who have completed the event. The mystery surrounding this reward adds an extra layer of anticipation, as players eagerly await its reveal later this week.

This update promises smoother gameplay with less clipping through maps, although specific details on which maps will see improvements are yet to be disclosed. However, NetEase has confirmed the resolution of a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that previously led to teammates being revived outside the play area.

As Marvel Rivals winds down Season 1 and gears up for Season 2, the upcoming update includes numerous fixes aimed at enhancing hero performance. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch will receive targeted ability tweaks. Notably, Wolverine's Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities will function more consistently, showcasing NetEase's commitment to refining gameplay.

Anticipation builds for Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025. Speculation among the player base suggests a thematic focus on Marvel’s Hellfire Gala, which could introduce new characters like Blade and Emma Frost. This aligns with NetEase's promise to add at least one new hero every half-season, keeping the game fresh and engaging.

Below are the comprehensive patch notes for the Marvel Rivals update set to roll out this week.

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 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 minds-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.
