NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for the upcoming Marvel Rivals update, version 20250327, set to launch this Thursday, March 27, just ahead of Season 2's debut in mid-April. This eagerly anticipated update brings a host of hero enhancements and map adjustments without any server downtime, allowing players to dive right in at 9am (UTC+0) to experience changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist firsthand.
A delightful surprise awaits in the form of a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward, accessible only to those who have completed the event, promises a "hidden twist surprise." The exact nature of this Easter egg remains a mystery, set to be revealed later this week.
The update also addresses various gameplay issues, including a fix for a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that could cause teammates to be revived outside the play area. As Season 1 nears its end, this patch introduces significant improvements to several heroes. Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch all receive targeted ability tweaks. Notably, Wolverine's Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities will now function more reliably.
Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for release on April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife among the community, with many anticipating a focus on Marvel's iconic Hellfire Gala. If these rumors hold true, we might see the addition of characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's commitment to introducing at least one new hero every half-season.

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 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.
