NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, setting the stage for an exciting transition into Season 2, which is slated to kick off in mid-April. This update, detailed on the developer's official website, is set to roll out this Thursday, March 27, without any server downtime, allowing players to jump right in at 9am (UTC+0) to experience the latest changes to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist.
A standout feature of this Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is the introduction of a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta's Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward, available only to those who have completed the event, promises a "hidden twist surprise." Players will have to wait until the update goes live to uncover what this surprise entails.
In addition to new content, this update focuses on enhancing gameplay by reducing instances of clipping through maps. While 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 draws to a close and Season 2 looms on the horizon, the update brings targeted fixes to several heroes. Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch all receive specific ability tweaks. Wolverine, in particular, sees significant improvements to his Feral Leap and Ultimate, ensuring more consistent performance.
Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is scheduled for April 11, 2025. Speculation is rife among the community about potential new heroes, with many expecting a focus on the Hellfire Gala, which could introduce characters like Blade and Emma Frost. NetEase has committed to adding at least one new hero every half-season, keeping the roster fresh and exciting.
