Latest Marvel Rivals Update Resolves Bugs and Improves Gameplay

Update Overview

The latest update for Marvel Rivals addresses collision issues on maps and resolves KOs not being recorded.
Enhancements have been made to specific hero abilities, including fixes for Hulk, Wolverine, Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Jeff the Land Shark.

Scheduled for release between February 12-13, depending on your time zone, the new update for Marvel Rivals is set to improve gameplay without experiencing any server downtime. This proactive approach from the developers aims to enhance the gaming experience by rectifying longstanding concerns associated with the game environments and character functionalities.

As of now, the roster of heroes in NetEase’s online superhero shooter has expanded to 35 following the addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman on January 10. With The Fantastic Four’s complete lineup arriving on February 21 for the latter half of Season 1, the developers are focusing on refining existing heroes and addressing issues before the mid-season update.

The update is scheduled to activate at 9 AM UTC on February 13, which corresponds to 4 AM EST and 1 AM PST. Although the game has largely been free of major glitches, one of the critical enhancements will involve a “heroic sweep” aimed at rectifying collision errors with map elements. This bug has significantly impacted gameplay, causing players to become trapped or unexpectedly pass through walls, hindering fair competition. Additionally, players have reported that KOs scored during overtime were not being accurately counted, a problem that will be remedied by this update.

Aside from general fixes, several character-specific adjustments are also part of the upcoming patch. Notably, Wolverine and Hulk’s team-up ability, the Fastball Special, will see improvements to prevent unintended interactions during gameplay. The update corrects a situation where Wolverine’s Berserk Claw Strike could unexpectedly activate during his Feral Leap, as well as a bug that would stop Hulk from throwing Wolverine if hit by Namor’s ultimate attack while preparing for the throw.

Other heroes receiving updates include Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Jeff the Land Shark. Following the upcoming patch, Doctor Strange’s Portals can no longer be disrupted by Loki during placement, ensuring his powerful abilities remain uninterrupted. Moreover, Jeff’s Bubble Trouble ability will be nerfed to avoid instances where his bubbles could inadvertently enter enemy healing areas. Meanwhile, Iron Man will receive a cosmetic fix to resolve a glitch where his arms would sometimes disappear after using the Armor Overdrive ability.
