Marvel Rivals recently launched its first PvE game mode, inspired by Marvel Zombies. As its spooky season theme suggests, the game mode was initially not going to outlive October for very long. But in response to feedback from players, NetEase has extended the period for Marvel Zombies. But that’s not all we’re getting in this latest Marvel Rivals patch. When the latest Marvel Rivals update arrives on November 6th at 4 AM EDT, players will also find new optimizations, new balances for Khonsu’s Blessings effects, and more.
The big highlight, at least for those enjoying Marvel Zombies, is that we’re getting several more weeks with the game mode. Originally slated to end on November 14th alongside the end of Season 4, Marvel Zombies will now run until December 5th in Marvel Rivals. That’s more time to battle the undead and perfect your build, keeping in mind that the Blessings will be tweaked with the balance update. In addition, Marvel Rivals will also see some optimizations, including a new Solo Challenge Leaderboard and Hero-Based Clear Rewards that include Units and Epic-quality titles. There are also a few bug fixes headed our way with this patch, as well.

Fixes
Heroes
1. Daredevil’s Marked Misstep: The Man Without Fear had a lingering issue where his passive mark effect could stubbornly stick to Winter Soldier if Matt, in the Spawn Room, switched heroes right after seeing an enemy Bucky and Cap dropped Stellar Impact. We’ve cleaned up the evidence; no more accidental “radar lock” on Winter Soldier by other heroes.
2. Daredevil’s Purple Haze Problem: When spectating Daredevil via replay after turning off outline display, the screen could turn into a solid wall of purple; more psychedelic than practical. We’ve cleared the fog; now your replays are crystal-clear, not a trip through the Purple Man’s mindscape!
3. Wolverine’s Pounce Pause: Logan’s Feral Leap occasionally refused to properly finish its run, leaving him hanging like a confused housecat. We’ve sharpened his instincts; now he lands every time, claws out and ready for the next scrap!
This Marvel Rivals update will be available starting at 4 AM EST. No server downtime is required, and you should be able t install and jump right in for more Marvel Zombies with these new adjustments.
