New Marvel Rivals Update Fixes Bugs

Marvel Rivals is getting a new update that should address some recurring issues with environments and five different heroes in the game without any interruption in service. This update for Marvel Rivals will be released between February 12-13, depending on time zone, and the developers have set it up so that it should launch without any downtime to its servers.

The roster of heroes in NetEase’s online superhero shooter currently sits at 35 after the addition of Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman on January 10. With the rest of The Fantastic Four coming on February 21 as the new heroes in Marvel Rivals Season 1‘s second half, the developers seem to be shoring up some problems with the rest of the roster ahead of the mid-season update.

Marvel Rivals Adding ’60th Anniversary’ Skins for Sue Storm and Reed Richards

Marvel Rivals surprises fans by announcing new skins for Invisible Woman and Mister Fantastic in NetEase Games’ popular hero shooter.

The new patch is set to go live at 9 AM UTC on February 13, which translates to 4 AM EST and 1 AM PST. While there haven’t been many major gameplay bugs in Marvel Rivals, one of the more important features coming in the update is a “heroic sweep” that the developers are making to avoid collision problems with map objects. This bug has been particularly damaging to players who have encountered it, as it could allow them to slip through walls or become unexpectedly trapped by the environment, preventing them from fairly participating in matches. Additionally, players have been experiencing problems with their KOs scored during overtime not being counted, but the new patch will fix this issue too.

There are also a few changes coming to a select number of heroes in the game. Two of these changes pertain to Hulk and Wolverine’s Marvel Rivals team-up ability, the Fastball Special, in which Hulk hurls Wolverine at an opponent. The update fixes an issue in which this team-up could allow Wolverine’s Berserk Claw Strike to be activated during his Feral Leap while also resolving an issue that was preventing Hulk from throwing Wolverine if the former was hit by Namor’s ultimate ability while charging up the throw.

Other heroes affected by the new patch will be Doctor Strange, Iron Man, and Jeff the Land Shark. After the update goes live, Doctor Strange’s Portals will no longer be able to be interrupted by Loki if the God of Mischief transforms into him while the portals are in the process of being placed. Jeff’s Bubble Trouble ability is being nerfed, preventing an unintended quirk that had been allowing his bubbles to breach opponents’ healing gates and enter the spawn room. Finally, the fix to Iron Man is cosmetic, preventing a bug that had been causing his arms to sometimes disappear after using the Armor Overdrive ability.
