NetEase Games has released the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, gearing up for the exciting launch of Season 2 in mid-April. This update, set to go live on Thursday, March 27, promises a host of hero fixes and map tweaks without any server downtime. You can jump right into the action at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the changes firsthand, especially those affecting heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist.
A delightful surprise awaits in the latest update: an April Fool's Easter egg for the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This special reward, dubbed a "hidden twist surprise," is exclusive to players who have completed the activity. NetEase has kept the details under wraps, but fans can look forward to uncovering this mystery starting this week.
One of the key improvements in this update is the reduction of clipping issues on maps. While specific details on which maps will benefit are scarce, NetEase has confirmed the resolution of a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map, which previously caused teammates to be revived outside the play area.
As Season 1 winds down and Season 2 approaches, this update brings significant fixes for various hero abilities. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all receiving specific tweaks. Notably, Wolverine's Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities are now set to function more consistently, ensuring a smoother gameplay experience.
Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for release on April 11, 2025. Speculation abounds about the new heroes to be introduced, with many fans anticipating a focus on the Hellfire Gala. If the rumors hold true, characters like Blade and Emma Frost could soon join the fray, fulfilling NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.
For a detailed look at all the changes, you can find the full patch notes below.

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 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.
