NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, set to launch ahead of Season 2 in mid-April. This eagerly awaited update, detailed on the developer's website, promises a host of hero fixes and map tweaks that players can enjoy starting Thursday, March 27, at 9am (UTC+0). Notably, the update will roll out without any server downtime, allowing fans to dive straight into the action and experience the changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist as soon as they go live.
A standout feature of the Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is the inclusion of a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This surprise reward, accessible only to those who have completed the event, adds an intriguing twist to the gameplay. NetEase teases it as a "hidden twist surprise," leaving fans eager to uncover what's in store come Thursday.
This update also promises smoother gameplay with less clipping through maps. While specific details on which maps will benefit remain under wraps, NetEase has confirmed a fix for a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map, which previously caused teammates to be revived outside the playable area.
As Marvel Rivals wraps up Season 1 and gears up for Season 2, the update brings numerous fixes to hero-related glitches. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all set to receive targeted ability enhancements. Wolverine, in particular, sees the most significant improvements, with his Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities now functioning more reliably.
Anticipation is building for Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025. Fans have been buzzing with speculation about the new heroes to be introduced, with many expecting a focus on the Marvel's Hellfire Gala. If these predictions hold true, characters like Blade and Emma Frost might soon join the fray, fulfilling NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.

Fixes
All Platforms
General
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
Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to sometimes become stuck or clip into strange areas.
Addressed 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
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!
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!
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.
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 mind-warping mix-up has been vanquished.
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.
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.
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
Eliminated a bug that sometimes caused the focus to unpredictably shift to earlier messages when opening the chat window.
