NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals' March 27 update, setting the stage for Season 2's mid-April debut.
Today, the developer detailed the upcoming changes on its official site, confirming hero adjustments and map refinements will go live this Thursday without server downtime. Players can immediately test revamped characters like Wolverine and Iron Fist when the patch hits at 9 AM UTC.
This Season 1 update brings an unexpected twist to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game—an April Fool's exclusive reward for dedicated players. NetEase teases a "hidden surprise" awaiting those who've completed the event, keeping specifics under wraps until official release.
Improved collision detection addresses pesky map-clipping issues, particularly fixing Hydra Charteris Base's revival zone bug that occasionally stranded teammates outside playable areas.
With Season 2 approaching, this substantial update delivers targeted hero fixes for seven characters. Wolverine receives the most attention—his Feral Leap and Ultimate now perform consistently. Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch also get ability refinements.
All eyes now turn to Season 2's anticipated April 11 launch. Community speculation points toward a Hellfire Gala theme, potentially introducing fan-requested characters like Blade or Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's bimonthly new hero commitment.
