"Marvel Rivals 20250327 Update: New Galacta's Quest Easter Egg and Hero Fixes Revealed"

NetEase Games has rolled out the patch notes for *Marvel Rivals* version 20250327, setting the stage for the upcoming Season 2 launch in mid-April. As part of this update, players can expect a series of hero adjustments and map optimizations designed to enhance gameplay and balance across the board.

The update is scheduled to go live on Thursday, March 27, 2025, at 9:00 AM UTC without any server downtime. This means players can jump back into the action immediately after the patch is deployed, experiencing changes to heroes such as Wolverine, Iron Fist, and others right away.

A Surprise Twist for Galacta’s Cosmic Quest

One of the standout additions in this patch is a special April Fool’s Day Easter egg tied to the Galacta’s Cosmic Quest board game event. Players who have completed all rewards from the activity will gain access to a hidden twist surprise. While details remain under wraps, NetEase confirms it’s a unique reward—only available between April 1 and April 4, 2025.

Map Improvements and Bug Fixes

This latest update also brings improvements to map stability and visual fidelity. Notably, a bug on the Hydra Charteris Base map that occasionally caused characters to be revived outside the playable area has been resolved. The development team has also addressed several terrain-related issues that could cause characters to clip through surfaces or become stuck.

Hero Adjustments and Ability Tweaks

As *Marvel Rivals* wraps up Season 1 and prepares for the launch of Season 2, this patch includes numerous fixes aimed at improving hero performance and consistency. Heroes receiving specific ability tweaks include:

• Wolverine – Feral Leap and Ultimate now function more reliably, especially during high-latency situations.
• Iron Fist – Wall-climbing behavior in Practice Range has been corrected.
• Iron Man – Fixed an issue where Hyper-Velocity followed by portal entry could result in unexpected behavior.
• Loki & Doctor Strange – A bug allowing Loki to use Doctor Strange’s Pentagram of Farallah in Doom Match has been patched.
• Magneto – MVP animations no longer display abnormal visual effects.
• Human Torch – Primary Attack accuracy has been improved to ensure consistent damage output.

Among all the heroes, Wolverine receives the most attention in this patch, with multiple fixes ensuring his abilities perform as intended even under less-than-ideal network conditions.

Looking Ahead to Season 2

Marvel Rivals Season 2 is slated to arrive on April 11, 2025. While official character reveals are still pending, community speculation suggests the season may center around the iconic Hellfire Gala storyline. If true, this could mean the addition of fan-favorite characters like Blade and Emma Frost, aligning with NetEase’s commitment to introducing at least one new hero every half-season.
