NetEase Games will release a new patch for Marvel Rivals on July 16, introducing a new in-game event, character skins, and a battle pass rerun. This update aims to further expand the content offerings for the 6v6 hero shooter.
The upcoming patch follows the recent launch of Season 9, which brought the new playable hero, Jubilee, to the roster. Season 9 also introduced new team-up abilities, allowing players to combine character powers for enhanced tactical gameplay across various maps.
The July 16 patch notes detail a new event for players to participate in. While specific objectives and rewards for this event were not immediately outlined, it is expected to provide fresh challenges and opportunities for in-game progression and unique cosmetic acquisitions.
Additionally, the update will introduce a selection of new character skins. Among these is the Dead Man’s Hand costume for Gambit, prominently featured in promotional materials. The patch also includes a rerun of a previous battle pass, offering players who missed its initial run another chance to acquire its exclusive cosmetic items and other tiered rewards.
Continuous updates like this July 16 patch are typical for live-service games such as Marvel Rivals, designed to keep the player base engaged with fresh content and evolving gameplay mechanics. The game, developed by NetEase Games, pits iconic Marvel characters against each other in team-based, objective-oriented combat. It emphasizes strategic team composition and the unique abilities of each hero.
Players can find more information about the game and its ongoing updates on the official Marvel Rivals website. The title is currently available on PC, including via the Epic Games Store, with versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S also confirmed for future release.
