NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for the upcoming Marvel Rivals update, version 20250327, ahead of Season 2's anticipated launch in mid-April. The developers have shared a comprehensive overview of the changes on their official website, signaling a host of hero adjustments and map refinements set to roll out on Thursday, March 27. Importantly, this update will not require server downtime, allowing players to jump right into the action and explore the enhancements to heroes such as Wolverine and Iron Fist as soon as it goes live at 9am (UTC+0).
A standout feature of this Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is an exciting addition to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. In a nod to April Fool's Day, there's a special Easter egg reward exclusively for those who have completed the event. NetEase teases this as a "hidden twist surprise," leaving fans eager to uncover its secrets come Thursday.
The update also promises smoother gameplay with less clipping through maps. While specific details on which maps will benefit are sparse, NetEase confirms that a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map, which occasionally led to teammates being revived outside the playable area, has been resolved.
As Marvel Rivals concludes Season 1 and gears up for Season 2, the update brings significant fixes to hero-related issues. Heroes like Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch receive targeted ability tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, sees the most improvements, with his Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities now functioning more reliably.
Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for release on April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife among the community about which heroes might join the fray, with many anticipating a focus on Marvel's Hellfire Gala. If the rumors hold true, we could see new characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's commitment to introducing at least one new hero every half-season.
Below are the detailed patch notes for this week's Marvel Rivals update.

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.
