Marvel Rivals Update: New Galacta's Quest Easter Egg and Hero Fixes Revealed

NetEase Games has unveiled the patch notes for Marvel Rivals version 20250327, setting the stage for the much-anticipated Season 2 launch in mid-April. The developer, known for bringing Marvel's iconic heroes to the forefront of the gaming world, has shared a comprehensive update list on their website, promising significant enhancements to heroes and maps. This update, scheduled to go live on Thursday, March 27, at 9am (UTC+0), will be implemented without any server downtime, ensuring an uninterrupted gaming experience as soon as it's released.

A standout feature of this update is the introduction of a special April Fool's Easter egg within the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. This exclusive reward is reserved for players who have completed the event, offering a mysterious "hidden twist surprise" that will only be revealed on April 1, 2025. This adds an element of intrigue and excitement for those who have already engaged with the event.

Moreover, the update promises to enhance the gameplay experience by addressing several glitches, including reducing instances of characters clipping through maps. A specific fix has been applied to the Hydra Charteris Base map, resolving an issue where teammates could be revived outside the playable area. This update also focuses on improving the performance of key heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, Iron Man, Loki, Doctor Strange, Magneto, and Human Torch, with Wolverine receiving the most attention to ensure his abilities function more reliably.

As the curtain falls on Season 1, anticipation builds for Season 2, set to launch on April 11, 2025. Rumors and fan theories suggest that the new season might revolve around Marvel's Hellfire Gala, potentially introducing characters like Blade and Emma Frost. This aligns with NetEase's commitment to adding at least one new hero every half-season, keeping the game fresh and engaging for its community.

Fixes

All Platforms

General

1. Resolved an issue in Custom Game where a disconnected player's character would still appear on the Like page during match settlement.

Maps and Modes

1. Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to sometimes become stuck or clip into strange areas.

2. Squashed a glitch in the Hydra Charteris Base map where Rocket Raccoon's B.R.B. could sometimes revive teammates outside the play area due to terrain changes.

Heroes

1. Wolverine's Terrifying Pounce: Resolved an issue where the Hulk could sometimes have abnormal behavior after being catapulted into a terrain KO by Wolverine's Feral Leap. Now, the big guy gets the proper beatdown without any off-script environmental stunts!

2. Iron Fist's Wall-Climbing Whimsy: Fixed a glitch in Practice Range where Iron Fist wall-climbing was beyond expectations. The master of martial arts can now keep his acrobatic feats on track!

3. Iron Man's Teleportation Tangle: In Sanctum Sanctorum, Iron Man use of Hyper-Velocity followed immediately by portal entry could occasionally throw a wrench in the works—resulting in the ability to misfire and some off-color special effects. Now, Iron Man's high-tech strategy is as sleek as ever, letting him jet in and out as he pleases.

4. Loki-Doctor Strange's Forbidden Tech: Fixed an issue in Doom Match where Loki's transformation into Doctor Strange allowed the use of the forbidden Pentagram of Farallah. This minds-warping mix-up has been vanquished.

5. Magneto's Magnetic Moments: Resolved an issue in the post-match where Magneto's MVP could sometimes display some bizarre, offbeat visuals. The master of magnetism now commands his moments with true polar precision.

6. Wolverine's Ultimate with Pinpoint Precision: Fixed a snag in Wolverine's Ultimate Ability where, under high network latency, foes sent flying and slammed into the ground could sometimes end up in the wrong location. Now, every Last Stand lands exactly where it should.

7. Human Torch's Fiery Focus: Addressed a rare bug where the Human Torch's Primary Attack would sometimes miss its target entirely, leaving his incendiary prowess a little less scorching. With this fix, every burst of flame burns as brilliantly as intended—ensuring his heat is always on target!

Console

1. Eliminated a bug that sometimes caused the focus to unpredictably shift to earlier messages when opening the chat window.
