The clock is ticking on the First Anniversary event, slated to end at 9 AM UTC. But fear not, heroes! Phase two brings a wave of new goodies to chase. If you missed the initial wave of missions and rewards, now is the perfect time to dive in – check out this guide to catch up.
Fresh Faces (and Bundles) in the Store
The in-game store is getting a makeover with some tempting new cosmetic options:
- Luna Snow – Cherry Delight Bundle
- Psylocke – Daring Daifuku Custom Colors and Ultimate Ability VFX
For a limited time (from 2 AM UTC to 2 AM UTC), players can also snag the Luna Snow – Cherry Delight Emoji Combo Bundle. Early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the cutest emotes.
Beyond the glitz and glamour of new skins, NetEase is tackling the less flashy, but equally important, task of bug fixing. These changes are designed to make the game more stable and enjoyable for everyone.
Rivals Assemble: Easier Than Ever
The “Rivals Assemble” event gets a quality-of-life boost, streamlining the process of teaming up with friends:
- A direct link to the event interface is now accessible from Times Square.
- A “Quick Copy Friend UID” option in the friend list simplifies connecting with allies.
Hero-Specific Fixes: No More Multiverse Mishaps
Several heroes received targeted fixes to address frustrating glitches:
- Portal Perplexity Problem: Attacks near portals now consistently deal damage, eliminating the issue of “phantom bullets.”
- Doctor Strange’s Sideways Shield: The Shield of the Seraphim now faces the correct direction, protecting allies as intended.
- Adam Warlock’s Replay Riddle: No more forced replays of past lives after respawning at Rocket Raccoon’s B.R.B.
- Angela’s Standstill Stumble: Assassin’s Charge no longer freezes Angela in place under unstable network conditions.
These hero-specific tweaks show NetEase’s commitment to a polished gameplay experience, ensuring that each character performs as expected, even in the heat of battle.
With the second phase of the Anniversary event now live, Marvel Rivals is solidifying its position in the competitive hero shooter landscape. The blend of new content and crucial bug fixes demonstrates a dedication to both rewarding loyal players and creating a more stable and enjoyable experience for newcomers. As the game continues to evolve, expect more tweaks, more heroes, and more multiverse mayhem.
