NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, set to roll out just ahead of Season 2's launch in mid-April. This eagerly anticipated update will introduce a host of hero fixes and map tweaks, ensuring a smoother and more engaging gameplay experience for fans of this popular hero shooter. Scheduled for release this Thursday, March 27, at 9am (UTC+0), the update promises no server downtime, allowing players to dive right into the action and experience the changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist as soon as they're live.
A standout feature of this update is the addition of a special April Fool's Easter egg to the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. This surprise reward, available only to those who have completed the activity, promises a "hidden twist surprise." NetEase has kept the details under wraps, leaving fans eager to discover what's in store when the update goes live.
In addition to hero-specific fixes, the update aims to reduce instances of characters clipping through maps. Although specific maps weren't named, NetEase confirmed a fix for a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that previously caused teammates to be revived outside the play area.
As Season 1 of Marvel Rivals winds down and anticipation builds for Season 2, this week's update brings significant improvements to several heroes. Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all receiving targeted ability tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, sees extensive updates to his Feral Leap and Ultimate, ensuring more consistent performance.
Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025, has sparked much speculation about its theme and new heroes. Many fans are hopeful that it will center around Marvel's notorious Hellfire Gala, potentially introducing characters like Blade and Emma Frost. This aligns with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season, keeping the game fresh and exciting.
Below, you'll find the detailed patch notes for the upcoming Marvel Rivals update.

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.
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
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 minds-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.
