"Marvel Rivals Update Unveils Galacta's Easter Egg and Hero Fixes"

NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, set to roll out just before the much-anticipated launch of Season 2 in mid-April. The developer of this beloved hero shooter has shared comprehensive details of the upcoming update on their official website, ensuring players are well-informed about the exciting changes arriving this Thursday, March 27. With no server downtime planned, fans can dive right into the action at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the revamped abilities of heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist firsthand.

A standout feature of the 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 unique reward, dubbed a "hidden twist surprise," is exclusively available to those who have completed the event. The exact nature of this surprise will remain a mystery until the update goes live later this week.

This update also promises smoother gameplay with fewer instances of characters clipping through maps. Although specifics on which maps will benefit from these improvements are scarce, NetEase has confirmed the resolution of a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map, preventing teammates from being revived outside the play area.

As Marvel Rivals wraps up Season 1 and gears up for Season 2, this week's update brings a host of fixes for hero-related glitches. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all slated to receive specific ability tweaks. Notably, Wolverine's Feral Leap and Ultimate will now operate more reliably, marking a significant improvement for fans of the clawed hero.

Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is scheduled for release on April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife among the community about which new heroes might be introduced, with many anticipating a focus on the Marvel universe's Hellfire Gala. If these speculations hold true, characters like Blade and Emma Frost could make their debut, fulfilling NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.

Below, you can find the complete patch notes for this week's Marvel Rivals update, ensuring you're fully prepared for the latest enhancements.

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.
