NetEase Games has deployed the Version 20251120 patch for Marvel Rivals, bringing a collection of targeted bug fixes and store updates without taking the servers offline. The update, released at 09:00 UTC on November 20, 2025, focuses on cleaning up interaction issues for specific heroes and improving visual clarity on the Times Square map.
Loki Mains Can Stop Accidentally Hurting Teammates
The headline fix in this patch addresses a bizarre interaction with Loki's kit. Previously, a rare bug caused Loki's Regeneration Domain to actually deal damage to heroes inside it rather than healing them. In a game where support synergy is the difference between holding a point and getting wiped, having your own healer accidentally drain your HP was a nightmare scenario. This has been resolved, so you can step into the domain without fear of friendly fire.
Jeff the Land Shark also received some attention. The developers fixed issues affecting his Fusion Bubble ability, ensuring the adorable shark's crowd control works as intended. Given how chaotic team fights can get when Jeff starts bubbling people, consistency here is key for maintaining his utility in the current meta.
Map and Mode Adjustments
Visual clutter can be the death of competitive play, especially on busy maps. NetEase has tweaked the Times Square map to only display signal markers from your own squadmates. This change should significantly reduce screen noise during intense firefights, allowing for clearer communication and target acquisition without random markers obscuring your view.
For players diving into the PvE side of things, Blade's Moonblades were suffering from targeting issues specifically in the Marvel Zombies mode. This patch corrects those targeting errors, making the Daywalker feel much more responsive when clearing out hordes of the undead.
New Store Bundles Incoming
While the mechanical fixes are live now, the cosmetic shop is getting a refresh starting November 21, 2025. Two new bundles are hitting the store:
- Magik - Millenia Might Bundle
- Doctor Strange - Bleeker Street Strut Bundle
Both bundles will be available until December 19, giving players about a month to decide if they want to upgrade their look for the Sorcerer Supreme or the ruler of Limbo.
Is there server downtime for this update?
No. This is a seamless update, meaning no maintenance downtime is required. You can jump straight into matchmaking immediately.
