New Content

A "Lady Loki" State of Mind: We've designed an exclusive set of movement and combat animations specifically for Lady Loki, ensuring her battlefield presence perfectly marches her mischievous elegance. These new animations are applied to all Lady Loki costumes by default. Fans of the old style can easily toggle back to the classic animations via the small gear icon next to the "Equip" button in the Costume interface.

Jeff Remembers He's a Shark: After much waddling, Jeff finally recalled he is, in fact, an aquatic creature! Now, when Jeff the Land Shark enters the deep waters of Hellfire Bay Beach, he will automatically transition into a swimming animation to keep cruising through the water.

Fixes and Optimizations

Heroes

•

Iron Fist's Flying Flaw: Fixed an issue where using Yat Jee Chung Kuen during the Ultimate Ability could cause abnormal displacement. Lin Lie's flow state is restored; no more unintentional movements.

•

Rogue's Stolen Syntax: Fixed a bug where stealing certain heroes' abilities could cause abnormal text displays on the in-match ability description panel. Rogue might borrow powers, but she shouldn't be breaking our UI.

•

Accessibility Amnesia: Addressed an issue where some Accessibility settings failed to save to the user's account. Your preferences will now stick around for the long haul.

•

Emote Immobility Imprisonment: Fixed a glitch preventing Iron Fist's Kickflip Cruise, Jeff the Land Shark's Merc's March, and Ultron's Breaking the Strings emotes from being used while moving in non-combat areas. You can now flex and strut in spawn to your heart's content.

•

Dragon Overload: Resolved a visual clash where Iron Fist's Furious Flow Ultimate Ability VFX was unintentionally overwritten by the White Fox Team-Up effects. K'un-Lun's street fury will shine through unobstructed once again.

•

Winter Soldier Subtitles: We've added English and Chinese subtitles to the Captain America: The Winter Soldier highlights screenings.
