NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, gearing up for the much-anticipated launch of Season 2 in mid-April. This update is set to roll out on Thursday, March 27, at 9am (UTC+0) with no server downtime, allowing players to dive right into the action and see the latest changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist.
A standout feature in this update is the inclusion of a special April Fool's Easter egg for the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward is available only to players who have already completed the event, offering a "hidden twist surprise" that remains a mystery until it goes live.
The update also promises improved gameplay with fixes to reduce clipping issues on maps. Although specific maps weren't detailed, the team confirmed the resolution of a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that could cause teammates to be revived outside the playable area.
As Season 1 draws to a close and Season 2 looms on the horizon, the update brings a host of fixes for hero abilities. Heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch are all set to receive specific tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, will benefit from more consistent performance of his Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities.
Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife about the new heroes that might be introduced, with many fans hoping for a focus on the Hellfire Gala event. If these rumors hold true, we might see the likes of Blade and Emma Frost joining the fray, aligning with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero per half-season.
Below are the comprehensive patch notes for the Marvel Rivals update version 20250327:
