2. Anti-Venom Evolution: Venom's Anti-Venom costume abilities have had their visuals upgraded; his skin tone now perfectly matches the Anti-Venom vibe. Symbiote style, fully unleashed!
Fixes and Optimizations
All Platforms
1. Deadpool & Galacta Banter: We've reduced the frequency of Deadpool and Galacta's voice lines, and now, only Deadpool himself can hear their intergalactic inside jokes. Sorry, fourth wall!
Console
1. Disco Drama: Improved broadcast visuals in the Disco club. Fewer afterimages, more clarity! Dances never looked so good!
2. Gambit's Haptic Hiatus: Some of Gambit's actions were missing controller vibration. Now, every card trick has the rumble it deserves!
3. Menu Mysteries: Some system menu entries didn't distinguish between Deadpool's different roles. Now, everything's crystal clear, no more identity confusion!
Heroes
1. Hela's Astral Slip-Up: Fixed an issue where Hela's Astral Flock landing spot could get wonky. Now she touches down with goddess-level precision!
2. Angela's Aggressive Absorption: Fixed an issue where, under certain conditions, Angela gained more health than intended when attacking in the Divine Judgement Zone.
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!
