NetEase Games has unveiled detailed patch notes for Marvel Rivals' March 27 update, setting the stage for Season 2's mid-April arrival. The development team shared complete details about the forthcoming changes on their official site, introducing numerous hero adjustments and map refinements. The seamless update goes live Thursday at 9am UTC without any server interruption, letting players experience Wolverine and Iron Fist's changes immediately.
April Fools' Surprise for Dedicated Players
This unexpected seasonal update brings a hidden gem to the Galacta's Cosmic Quest event - an exclusive Easter egg reward for players who've completed the board game. NetEase remains coy about specifics, only teasing a "secret surprise twist" that'll be revealed later this week.
Map improvements take center stage in this update, though NetEase hasn't specified all affected locations. Players can celebrate the elimination of a particularly annoying glitch on Hydra Charteris Base that occasionally revived teammates outside playable boundaries.
Hero Balance Changes
As Season 1 concludes, seven popular characters receive targeted adjustments. Wolverine leads the pack with multiple ability refinements, particularly to his Feral Leap and Ultimate. Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch also get various fixes to enhance gameplay consistency.
With Season 2 launching April 11, community speculation runs wild about potential new characters. Many believe the update will center on Marvel's Hellfire Gala, potentially introducing fan-requested heroes like Blade and Emma Frost to fulfill NetEase's commitment to bimonthly character additions.
