New Feature

  • In Custom Game – Tournament Room, a new “Tournament (Advanced)” Ban/Pick Settings option has been added! Players can freely experience this ban-pick feature in tournament room custom games. This ban-pick mode will be used for all matches in the Marvel Rivals Ignite tournament series. In this mode, both teams take turns banishing heroes in a specific order, while also locking in their own heroes.

Console

  • A “Use Default Costume Sound Effects” toggle has been added for a tailored heroic experience.

Fixes

All Platforms

System & Features
  • Resolved a problem where, after switching the Voiceover Language while not in a match and restarting the game, the selected language sometimes wouldn’t switch correctly.
  • Addressed a mix-up in the Custom Game – Tournament Room spectator view where, after switching sides, the team names in the lower-left corner were displayed in reverse order.  
Maps and Modes
  • Patched various voids in the Krakoa and Klyntar maps that could trap players.  
Heroes
  • Fantastic Frequencies Fixed: We’ve tuned up an audio error where, when Mister Fantastic unleashed his Ultimate Ability while in the inflated state, the sound effect for returning to his normal state would play during the ultimate period.  
  • Venom’s Aerial Antics: Fixed an issue where our favorite symbiote could sometimes find himself stuck in mid-air on certain maps. Venom is now free to swing and dive like a true anti-hero.  
  • Adam Warlock’s Ultimate Troubles: Fixed a bug where the orb from Adam’s Ultimate Ability would hang around in certain areas of Krakoa longer than it should. The golden glow will now inevitably fade.  
  • Hulk’s High Jump Hiccup: Smashed an issue, where under specific conditions, Hulk could find himself stuck in a jump state when using Incredible Leap. The Green Goliath can leap with the grace of a true Avenger, landing where he means to!  
  • Doctor Strange’s Portal Predicament: Fixed an issue where placing Strange’s portals in Recursive Destruction zones could force them to vanish. He can open portals without worrying about them disappearing faster than Dormammu can hatch his next doom-laden scheme in the Dark Dimension!  
  • The Thing’s Yancy Street Shuffle: We’ve tackled an issue where, when using his Yancy Street Charge ability, The Thing would sometimes find himself moving to distant locations. He’ll stomp on the streets without unintended detours!
