New Feature

1. In Custom Game - Tournament Room, a new "Tournament (Advanced)" Ban/Pick Settings option has been added! Players can freely experience this ban-pick feature in tournament room custom games. This ban-pick mode will be used for all matches in the Marvel Rivals Ignite tournament series. In this mode, both teams take turns banishing heroes in a specific order, while also locking in their own heroes.

Fixes

[h2]All Platforms[/h2]
[h3]System & Features[/h3]
1. Fixed an issue during name changes where the previous name sometimes wouldn't be removed from the database, preventing players from reverting to their old name.
2. Resolved a problem where, after switching the Voiceover Language while not in a match and restarting the game, the selected language sometimes wouldn't switch correctly.
3. Addressed a mix-up in the Custom Game - Tournament Room spectator view where, after switching sides, the team names in the lower-left corner were displayed in reverse order.

[h3]Maps and Modes[/h3]
1. Patched various voids in the Krakoa and Klyntar maps that could trap players.

[h3]Heroes[/h3]
1. Fantastic Frequencies Fixed: We've tuned up an audio error where, when Mister Fantastic unleashed his Ultimate Ability while in the inflated state, the sound effect for returning to his normal state would play during the ultimate period.
2. Venom's Aerial Antics: Fixed an issue where our favorite symbiote could sometimes find himself stuck in mid-air on certain maps. Venom is now free to swing and dive like a true anti-hero.
3. Adam Warlock's Ultimate Troubles: Fixed a bug where the orb from Adam's Ultimate Ability would hang around in certain areas of Krakoa longer than it should. The golden glow will now inevitably fade.
4. Hulk's High Jump Hiccup: Smashed an issue, where under specific conditions, Hulk could find himself stuck in a jump state when using Incredible Leap. The Green Goliath can leap with the grace of a true Avenger, landing where he means to!
5. Doctor Strange's Portal Predicament: Fixed an issue where placing Strange's portals in Recursive Destruction zones could force them to vanish. He can open portals without worrying about them disappearing faster than Dormammu can hatch his next doom-laden scheme in the Dark Dimension!
6. Thing's Yancy Street Shuffle: We've tackled an issue where, when using his Yancy Street Charge ability, The Thing would sometimes find himself moving to distant locations. He'll stomp on the streets without unintended detours!


The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!

A new Marvel Rivals item lets you skip losses in ranked and players worry the climb has become meaningless




new item in Marvel Rivals' latest event has broken the idea many players had about its ranked mode—namely that it's an accurate way to measure your skill at the game. One loss is no longer necessarily weighed the same as another: The Galacta's Gift event lets you earn up to eight free Chrono Shield Cards which can be used to avoid the penalty of losing a match...

Marvel Rivals is breaking its original battle pass out of the vault for a limited time




Battle passes have a lot of problems when it comes to FOMO, but one of the worst ones is that they disappear after a season is over, locking you out of all the rewards you missed. It should be more common for games to let you keep them after they expire, or, better yet: not have them expire at all...

Fixes

[h3]Maps and Modes[/h3]
1. Vanquished a glitch that would sometimes occur under rare circumstances where players who didn't provide the most healing in a match were mistakenly awarded the Gifted Healer badge.

[h3]Heroes[/h3]
1. Jeff's Missing Meal: We've wiped out a glitch where, in controller mode, when Jeff the Land Shark swallowed 6 enemies with his Ultimate Ability, only 5 avatar icons showed up on screen. Now, our fin-tastic friend will see his 6-piece meal every time!
2. Banner's Space Out: We've smashed a bug that left all three forms of Bruce Banner unable to bind the jump action to the Spacebar. Now, Banner can leap into action as intended.

[h2]Other[/h2]
1. We've remedied an oversight, where in anonymous mode, using voice chat still revealed your original name.
