Marvel Rivals is getting another big update on PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
The new Marvel Rivals update has a March 6 release date and a 9am GMT UK release time. The good news is that the new Marvel Rivals update doesn’t require any server downtime, which means you can continue playing as soon as the update is installed.
The update lays the foundation for the Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event, as well as the limited time Clone Rumble game mode.
The Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure event runs from March 7 until April 11, and gives users the ability to earn the exclusive Black Widow – Mrs. Barnes series costume rewards.
Clone Rumble, on the other hand, is a new game mode in which teams pick one hero each, while individual players can choose between them.
“Rivals, get ready for Clone Rumble – where strategy, teamwork, and controlled chaos take centre stage!” reads the official description.
“In this all-new mode, both teams will select one hero each, and every player must choose between these two heroes for the ultimate mirror showdown. Will you master your pick and outplay your clones?”
As you can see from the patch notes below, the new update also makes various bug fixes and balance changes.
This includes improvements to the Human Torch’s Lord Proficiency avatar reward, as well as the addition of a voice enhancement setting for the microphone.

2. Added a voice enhancement setting for the microphone.

Fixes
General
1. Fixed an issue where switching from a Proficiency Deluxe Avatar back to the standard Avatar required a re-login to take effect.
2. Resolved an issue where other players viewing a career profile would not immediately see the latest scores added after reaching maximum proficiency with a hero. A re-login was required for the changes to take effect.
3. Corrected the blocklist full notification, which mistakenly stated that the friends list was full.
Maps and Modes
1. Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to become stuck or clip into strange areas.
2. Resolved various problems with broken collisions, floating objects, etc.
3. Addressed multiple map sound effect issues.
Heroes
1. Loki’s Disappearing Act: Fixed an issue where Loki’s UI would vanish after he transformed. The God of Mischief can now keep his tricks visible!
2. Human Torch’s Meteor Mishap: Resolved a glitch where the Human Torch’s Flaming Meteor ability could sometimes trap hit enemies inside walls. Now, foes will feel the burn, not the barrier!
3. Persistent Pyro-Prison: Fixed an issue that the Human Torch’s Pyro-Prison wouldn’t promptly disappear upon his defeat. No more lingering flames!
4. Loki’s Blessing Blunder: Fixed a problem where if Loki and his doppelganger placed Regeneration Domains that overlapped and Loki walked over the overlapped area, then back into his own Regeneration Domain, it would lose its healing effect. Now, the trickster can heal without a hitch!
5. Punisher’s Missile Mayhem: Addressed a rare issue where the Punisher’s Ultimate Ability would sometimes continue to detect enemies and fire missiles during network disruptions. The Punisher’s firepower is now accurate, even in chaos!
6. Hela’s Knockback Kinks: Resolved an inconsistency where Hela would sometimes be launched up after unleashing her Ultimate Ability. The Goddess of Death will now fly firm to rain destruction her foes!
7. Wolverine’s Leap of Faith: Fixed a quirk where characters launched up by Wolverine’s Ultimate Ability would sometimes exhibit exaggerated jumping abilities. The mutant’s effect is now properly contained!
8. Jeff’s Ice Surprise: Corrected a bug where when the Team-Up Ability is active, Jeff the Land Shark could launch Frozen Spitballs that exceed expectations via certain actions. The aquatic cutie’s attacks are now as intended!
9. Hela’s Vehicle Visibility: Fixed an issue where after Hela releases her Ultimate Ability, sometimes she may not be immediately detected when near the mission vehicle. Now her presence will be felt.
10. Adam’s Ultimate Energy Fail: Resolved a problem where if Adam Warlock’s Ultimate Ability failed in certain areas (like cliff edges), 50% energy wouldn’t be returned. The hero’s energy is now properly restored!
11. Peni Parker’s Positioning Predicament: Fixed a positioning issue that could sometimes occur when Peni was hit by Namor’s Ultimate Ability. The mech pilot is now perfectly aligned for battle!
PC
1. Fixed an issue where some graphics cards couldn’t enable Intel XeSS.
Console
1. Fixed an issue where after modifying the mapping of the controller’s L3 button, the chat window could not be opened on the results screen.
2. Resolved a rare issue on PlayStation where Wolverine’s Rage Uncaged trophy sometimes wouldn’t unlock.
