Marvel Rivals Season 1 introduces significant updates, including new heroes, maps, and gameplay adjustments. Mister Fantastic and the Invisible Woman join the roster, bringing fresh abilities and strategies. The Convoy map, “Empire of Eternal Night: Midtown,” offers a dynamic battleground, while the “Doom Match” arcade mode supports 8-12 players in intense combat. Additionally, the Battle Pass unlocks ten new heroic costumes, enhancing player customization.
Balance changes have been implemented across various heroes. Captain America now has reduced shield restoration delay and increased base health, improving his survivability. Thor gains immunity to control effects during his ultimate ability, “God of Thunder,” enhancing his combat effectiveness. Venom’s ultimate ability, “Feast of the Abyss,” now deals increased damage, making him a more formidable opponent. Conversely, Hela’s base health has been reduced to balance her powerful abilities.
The update also addresses various bugs and glitches. A new “get unstuck” feature allows characters to return to the spawn room if they become unintentionally attached to the terrain. Additionally, streaming mode settings have been added to conceal player names during streams, enhancing privacy for content creators.
