Marvel Rivals players, get ready—NetEase Games has rolled out a brand-new update ahead of Season 2's debut in mid-April. The latest patch notes for version 20250327 have been officially published, revealing a variety of hero adjustments, map refinements, and surprise additions set to arrive this Thursday, March 27.
One of the most exciting aspects of this patch is that it requires no server downtime, so you can jump right back into the action as soon as the update goes live at 9:00 AM (UTC+0). Whether you're playing as Wolverine or Iron Fist, you'll notice smoother performance and improved ability mechanics across several heroes.
A standout feature in this drop is a special April Fool’s Day Easter egg hidden within the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. If you've already completed all objectives in the activity, you’ll be able to unlock this exclusive “hidden twist surprise.” While details remain under wraps for now, fans are eagerly anticipating what kind of playful reward NetEase has tucked away.
This update also brings notable improvements to map stability, particularly addressing a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map where teammates could occasionally be revived outside the playable area. In addition, several terrain-related clipping issues have been fixed, enhancing overall gameplay fluidity.
As Season 1 winds down and Marvel Rivals prepares for the launch of Season 2 on April 11, 2025, this patch delivers essential fixes across multiple heroes:
- Wolverine receives the most attention, with improvements to his Feral Leap and Ultimate Ability for more consistent performance.
- Iron Fist now behaves correctly during wall-climbing exercises in Practice Mode.
- Iron Man no longer experiences visual glitches when using Hyper-Velocity near portals.
- Loki and Doctor Strange interactions in Doom Match have been corrected.
- Magneto's MVP visuals are now smooth and cinematic.
- Human Torch's fire attacks now hit their mark reliably.
Fans are already speculating about the arrival of new characters in Season 2, with many expecting a focus on the Hellfire Gala theme. This could pave the way for iconic figures like Blade and Emma Frost to make their long-awaited entrance, aligning with NetEase’s promise to introduce at least one new hero every half-season.
To ensure optimal performance, the patch also resolves minor UI and chat-related bugs on console platforms, improving the overall player experience.
Get your gear ready—Season 2 drops on April 11, 2025, and with each update, Marvel Rivals continues to refine its fast-paced, hero-packed gameplay.
