NetEase Games has released the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, gearing up for the exciting launch of Season 2 in mid-April. The developers behind this popular hero shooter have detailed all the new features and fixes coming with the update, which will go live on Thursday, March 27, without any server downtime. Players can jump straight into the action at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the latest changes to heroes such as Wolverine and Iron Fist.
A standout addition to this update is an unexpected surprise within the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. This special April Fool’s Easter egg gift is reserved for those who have completed the activity. NetEase teases that it unlocks a “hidden twist surprise,” adding an extra layer of intrigue for players to discover later this week.
The update also promises smoother gameplay with less clipping through maps. While specific maps aren't mentioned, the team has confirmed that a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map, which could cause teammates to be revived outside the play area, has been resolved.
As Season 1 winds down and Season 2 approaches, this update brings a plethora of hero-related fixes. Notable heroes like Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch receive tailored ability tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, benefits significantly from this update, with enhancements to his Feral Leap and Ultimate for more consistent performance.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for April 11, 2025. The community is buzzing with anticipation over which new heroes might join the roster, with many expecting a focus on Marvel’s Hellfire Gala. This could mean the introduction of characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.

New Content
Pick-Up Bundle
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.
