Marvel Rivals Update 20250418 patch notes: Wolverine is immune to slow internet now

NetEase Games is publishing Marvel Rivals Update 20250418 on April 17, 2025, for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S to bring a couple of fixes to the hero shooter and add a few cosmetics — and all that without any server downtime, so you can keep playing after a quick download.

In terms of cosmetics, players can look forward to finding new color combinations for existing costumes in the store, while two fresh bundles featuring Dr. Strange and Peni Parker will be available. As for the bug fixes, these will be especially joyful for Wolverine players with slow internet. Did you notice that his ultimate sometimes just… wouldn’t do much? That happened a lot to players with a bad connection, but should no longer be an issue after the patch.

Fixes

General:

• Fixed a rare issue where the camera perspective could behave oddly after respawning.
• Resolved an error where importing reticle settings would sometimes show an invalid character message. 

Maps:

• Fixed several terrain issues that could cause characters to become stuck or clip into strange areas.

Heroes:

• Wolverine's Claw-some Comeback: Fixed an issue where Wolverine's Ultimate Ability landing sometimes wouldn't finish properly in poor network conditions. Now, the best there is at what he does can unleash his fury without any hiccups!
• Fastball Fumble: Resolved an issue where Wolverine could sometimes be unable to control his direction during the Fastball Special after using it multiple times. Now, every throw will be a claw-some hit!
• Banner's Hulk Smash Fix: Resolved a rare model display issue that could sometimes occur when Bruce Banner transformed in terrain kill zones. Now, when the good doctor gets angry, he won't just smash; he'll do it with style—HULK SMASH, without the visual chaos!
• The Thing's Rocky Report: Corrected the ability icon error in the KO Prompt when the Thing's Ultimate Ability causes terrain kills. Now, when he brings the pain, the prompt will accurately reflect the mayhem.
• Spider-Island Resurrection Reboot: Fixed an issue where Adam Warlock could accidentally resurrect teammates in the out-of-play area on Spider-Islands. Now, teammates will return to solid ground instead of being stuck in limbo!
