NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, set to roll out ahead of Season 2's launch in mid-April. The developer behind this beloved hero shooter has shared a comprehensive list of updates on their website, promising a host of hero fixes and map tweaks that will go live this Thursday, March 27, 2025. Excitingly, there will be no server downtime, allowing players to jump right in at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist firsthand.
A notable highlight from the Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is the addition of a special April Fool's Easter egg to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This surprise is exclusively for players who have already completed the event. NetEase teases that this reward unlocks a "hidden twist surprise," leaving fans eager to uncover what's in store later this week.
This latest update also aims to enhance the gameplay experience by reducing instances of clipping through maps. While specific details on which maps will see improvements are scarce, the team has confirmed fixing a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that could previously cause teammates to be revived outside the playable area.
As Marvel Rivals wraps up Season 1 and gears up for Season 2, the update brings significant fixes to various hero-related glitches. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch receive targeted ability adjustments. Wolverine, in particular, benefits from multiple fixes, ensuring his Feral Leap and Ultimate work more reliably.
Anticipation is high for Marvel Rivals Season 2, slated for April 11, 2025. Speculation abounds about new heroes, with many fans hoping for a focus on Marvel's Hellfire Gala, potentially bringing characters like Blade and Emma Frost into the fray. NetEase has committed to introducing at least one new hero every half-season, adding to the excitement.

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.
