Marvel Rivals Version 20250425 Patch Notes

Marvel Rivals is on an absolute roll with their updates. It feels like it was only yesterday that we got a new update, and yet here we are again today with another round of patch notes and new features to be added to the game. This round of updates brings a new mode to the game, new content, mostly in the form of costumes, and various fixes. You can find all of these below!

New Mode

Following the release of the new update on April 25, 2025, the game will welcome a new game mode known as the [Giant-Size Brain Blast]. This game mode will be available in two phases, with each phase lasting exactly three days. During this time, you will get to enjoy this new mode, climb the unique leaderboard, and unlock some nice rewards! The schedule for the phases can be found in the table below:

New Content

• Store
• Loki - Shin Sagi-Shi Bundle
• Hela - Yami no Karasu Bundle
• A big bunch of Brain Blast Emotes

Resource Adjustments

Luna Snow's Cyber Tunes emote has been revamped to loop continuously, ensuring that she never skips a beat.

Hero Proficiency Tweaks

To better reflect your mastery in the heat of different battles, we're overhauling the hero proficiency system. The missions are now segmented into Quick Match/Competitive and Conquest/Doom Match. Quick Match/Competitive missions have no cap on repetition, while Conquest/Doom Match missions feature a daily repeat limit. Your hero proficiency is about to get as lordly as your feats!

Fixes

General Fixes

• Fixed a rare issue where players would sometimes find themselves stuck on the round-switch transition screen.
• Resolved a glitch on the Krakoa map where the emote wheel occasionally couldn't be used, except for the bottom-right segment.
• Fixed a Faction system bug where, after a single name change, the name could not be changed again even after the cooldown period.
• Resolved an issue in the Faction Recruit interface where non-leaders saw a "Only Leader Can Select" label on the Confirm button.
• In Custom Game - Tournament Room settings, coaches now have an option to hide opponent voting displays in Competitive matches.
• Fixed an issue where the first time entering a new season's Battle Pass screen or the moment when season-end settlement pops up, and rapidly switching to the next page would sometimes cause the navigation bar to vanish.

Maps and Modes Fixes

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

Hero Fixes

• Emma Frost's Diamond Dynamite: Fixed a glitch in Diamond Form where her Carbon Crush would sometimes catapult foes underground—or even off the map! Now, when Emma dazzles, every move lands as sharp as a perfectly cut gem!
• Mister Fantastic's Fantastic Flex Fix: Resolved an issue when Flexible Elongation aimed at enemies through portals would occasionally twist his movement trajectory in the wrong direction. Now, when Mr. Fantastic bends the rules of physics, he is as precise as his genius!
• Iron Fist's Chaotic Kick: Squashed a bug causing Iron Fist's K'un-Lun Kick to suddenly roll back in high-latency battles. Now, his moves blast forward with the unstoppable momentum of a true warrior!
• Psylocke's Wing Shurikens Tweak: Fixed a glitch where Psylocke's Wing Shurikens would sometimes lose damage after striking Loki's arm. Now, with the trickster god kept in check, her psionic shurikens strike with all the precision and brilliance of a ninja!
• Star-Lord's Sleepy Swagger: Resolved an issue where Star-Lord's Spartax Slumber emote was missing his signature facial animations when used during a match. Now, when he starts to nod off, his playful attitude will shine through, proving that even in chaos, he's the coolest guy in the galaxy!
• Squirrel Girl's Animated Antics Revival: Corrected an issue with Squirrel Girl's default emote where facial expressions were missing when used in a match. Now, when she unleashes her quirky charisma, every nutty moment is captured with the full force of her animated personality!
• Invisible Woman's Shield Surge Update: Fixed an error in the recovery rate of Invisible Woman's Guardian Shield.
