NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for the latest update to Marvel Rivals, version 20250327, set to roll out ahead of Season 2's launch in mid-April. This eagerly awaited update, detailed on NetEase's official website, promises a slew of hero enhancements and map adjustments, set to go live this Thursday, March 27, without any server downtime. Players can dive right in at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the changes to heroes such as Wolverine and Iron Fist firsthand.

A notable addition to this update is a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward, available only to those who have completed the event, teases a "hidden twist surprise." The nature of this surprise remains a mystery until its reveal later this week.

With this update, Marvel Rivals aims to enhance gameplay by reducing instances of characters clipping through maps. While specifics on which maps will see improvements remain undisclosed, the team has confirmed fixing a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that occasionally caused teammates to be revived outside the play area.

As Season 1 winds down and Season 2 looms on the horizon, this update introduces several fixes targeting hero-related glitches. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch receive tailored ability adjustments. Wolverine, in particular, benefits significantly from this update, with his Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities now functioning more reliably.

Anticipation for Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025, is high, with fans speculating about potential new heroes. Many are hopeful that the upcoming season will revolve around Marvel's renowned Hellfire Gala, possibly introducing characters like Blade and Emma Frost. This aligns with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero per half-season.

Below are the detailed patch notes for the Marvel Rivals update version 20250327:

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.
