NetEase Games has announced the latest patch for Marvel Rivals, arriving on May 22, 2025, at 09:00 UTC. The update introduces new store bundles featuring Scarlet Witch and Adam Warlock, extends the popular Hellfire Gala event, and addresses several gameplay issues across all platforms.
New Store Bundles and Extended Event
The highlight of this patch is the introduction of two premium cosmetic bundles coming to the store on May 23, 2025, at 02:00 UTC: the Scarlet Witch - Immortal Sovereign Bundle and the Adam Warlock - Immortal Avatar Bundle. These new cosmetics arrive alongside news that the Hellfire Gala: Moments event has been extended by one week, now concluding on May 30, 2025.
Players of Marvel Rivals will also notice a revamped store interface with dedicated pages for New Arrivals and Recommended items, making it easier to discover fresh content.
Quality-of-Life Improvements
The patch introduces several player-requested features, including a new audio option labeled "Use Default Costume Voices" which allows players to maintain character voice consistency regardless of equipped skins. Additionally, the spray limit has been increased to 5 simultaneous sprays on the battlefield, giving players more expressive options during matches.
What Bug Fixes Are Included?
NetEase has addressed numerous technical issues across the game. Ranking problems that occasionally reset One Above All players to Eternity rank have been fixed, along with tournament redirection bugs and spectator view freezing in custom tournaments.
Hero-specific fixes include resolving Doctor Strange's Ultimate Ability interfering with Human Torch's Primary Attack, fixing Mantis' Spore Slumber ability sometimes failing to wake heroes after damage, correcting Emma Frost's diamond form texture glitches, and ensuring Mister Fantastic's Flexible Elongation works properly through Doctor Strange portals.
Map enthusiasts will appreciate structural improvements to both the Klyntar and Spider-Islands battlegrounds, while console players will no longer encounter overlapping UI icons between Chrono Shields/Chrono Shield Cards and controller indicators.
Update Details
The patch deploys on May 22, 2025, at 09:00 UTC and requires no downtime - players can simply log in after the update goes live. Marvel Rivals continues to be available on Windows PC (via direct download, Steam, and Epic Games Store), Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5/PlayStation 5 Pro.
