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.

There are eight million people in New York, and eight million stories, but your destiny will be forged on these very streets.

Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
- Clint's Kumiho CatchFixed 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-UpFixed 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.
The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates on the horizon. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
