Marvel Rivals First April Update Adds Lower Manhattan Map

New Map: Lower Manhattan

Timeline Incursion! The Alchemax Headquarters from the year 2099 has suddenly crashed into Lower Manhattan. Advanced technology and mass-produced soldiers are spreading like a plague, systematically transforming the surrounding blocks into the futuristic Nueva York. Faced with this unprecedented crisis, heroes from across the multiverse are infiltrating a battlefield corrupted by the future. There are eight million people in New York, and eight million stories, but your destiny will be forged on these very streets.

Marvel Rivals Update 1.42/1.000.079 Fixes

Marvel Rivals New February 19 Update

Heroes

– Clint’s Kumiho Catch: Fixed an issue where Hawkeye’s Ultimate Ability might not deal damage to the afterimages created by White Fox’s Ultimate Ability form. Clint never misses his mark, especially against giant nine-tailed foxes.
– Angela’s Angelic Ascent: Addressed a rare issue where if Angela’s Assassin’s Charge was interrupted the moment it was cast, the dash effect might not disappear. The heavens have aligned, and her flight path is clear once more!

All Platforms

– Chronal Catch-Up: Fixed an issue where players still in battle during maintenance might temporarily be unable to enter battles normally after logging back in. The TVA has stabilized the timestream, so no more getting stuck in the Void between matches!
– Deadpool’s Director’s Cut: Fixed a visual bug in Match Highlights where Deadpool’s Role could be displayed incorrectly. Wade tried to hack the UI to mess with everyone, but we caught him red-handed!
– Voice Changer Optimization: Upgraded the in-game voice changer algorithms to provide a much more natural, fluid, and immersive experience.

Once another patch is out, expect it here on MP1st.
