Marvel Rivals Update: New Galacta's Quest Easter Egg and Hero Fixes Revealed - News

NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals' version 20250327, setting the stage for the much-anticipated launch of Season 2 in mid-April. The developers of the beloved hero shooter have detailed the comprehensive updates set to roll out on March 27, 2025, at 9am (UTC+0), promising a smooth transition with no server downtime. This means players can immediately jump in to explore the enhancements to heroes like Wolverine and Iron Fist the moment the update goes live.

A standout feature of the Marvel Rivals Season 1 update is the addition of a special April Fool's Easter egg to 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." The exact nature of this surprise will remain a mystery until the update is live, adding an extra layer of excitement for players.

The update also addresses numerous gameplay issues, particularly focusing on reducing clipping through maps. Although specific maps weren't detailed, the team has confirmed a fix for a glitch on the Hydra Charteris Base map that previously caused teammates to be revived outside the playable area.

As Season 1 nears its end and Season 2 looms on the horizon, the update includes targeted fixes for hero-related glitches. Notable heroes receiving tweaks include Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch. Wolverine, in particular, benefits from significant improvements to his Feral Leap and Ultimate abilities, ensuring more consistent performance.

Looking ahead, Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated for April 11, 2025. Speculation abounds regarding new hero additions, with many fans anticipating a focus on Marvel's Hellfire Gala. This could potentially introduce characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season.

Fixes

All Platforms

General

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

Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to sometimes become stuck or clip into strange areas.
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

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!
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
