Fixes
All Platforms
1. Countdown Conundrum: Fixed an issue where incorrect countdowns could appear in Times Square. Time's back on track!
Heroes
1. Angela's Aerial Anomaly: Fixed a rare bug where targets carried by Angela's Assassin's Charge had a very small chance of appearing in abnormal locations. Her flights now land "safely" at their destination!
2. Rogue's Winter Soldier Wipeout: Fixed an issue where Rogue's Ultimate Ability could cause abnormal Ultimate Ability Energy when hitting a Winter Soldier during his Ultimate Ability AGAIN chain. Power absorption is now precise!
3. Emma Frost's Mind Control Mayhem: When equipped with the Hellfire Protocol costume, Emma Frost's Psychic Spear ability produced excessively loud hit sounds for affected players. Her psychic attacks are now subtle; no more mental noise!
The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates coming in 2026. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more! May you have a wonderful new year and achieve all your goals. See you in Marvel Rivals!
