Marvel Rivals Reveals Patch Notes for November 27th Update

NetEase Games has released a new set of patch notes Marvel Rivalswhich gives players a fresh look at everything coming to the game with the November 27th update. Marvel Rivals recently launched Season 5, which added Strategist Gambit to its ever-expanding list of popular heroes. While many fans are already looking forward to the major mid-season update in December, NetEase Games has been busy preparing a plethora of fresh content for players to try until then.

As a live service title, Marvel Rivals regularly adds new events and modes to the game to keep players coming back for more. Recently, NetEase Games launched a PvE mode in collaboration with the hit Disney+ show Marvel Zombies. This mode gave players the ability to team up with others and take on waves of the undead. However, not every hero was playable, as only The Punisher, Magik, Thor, Blade, and Jeff the Land Shark were included in the game mode roster. The regime proved to be a huge success Marvel Rivalsas the game has seen a significant increase in players. With the launch of Season 5, NetEase Games also launched the Elders' Chessboard event, which gives players the chance to complete challenges and earn a free Iron Spider skin for Spider-Man. The Iron Spider costume is a unique red and gold look from the comics that has proven to be a favorite with many fans.

The November 27th Marvel Rivals update includes free rewards

In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games outlined all the changes and new content players will be able to experience when the game launches on November 27th.

With the new update, players will get a chance to experience a brand new game mode Marvel Rivals called 18v18 Annihilation. The mode also features a new map called Grand Garden. While 36 players on the field suddenly seems chaotic, this mode gives fans a new way to build teams and compete like never before.

The update is also rolling out Marvel RivalsAn anniversary celebration that gives players a chance to earn 2,500 units to spend in the store. While this large batch of units allows players to pick up some fresh cosmetics, they also come with a new catch. Many units only last a limited time. This means that players will have to spend them before the end of the event. The in-game currency bar at the top of the screen differentiates which units will be available for a limited time only and which are permanent. Players can see how long they have to spend their units by highlighting the currency and viewing the details.

The update also includes a new event ticket called Jeff's Break Time, which includes new cosmetics for Jeff the Land Shark, Mister Fantastic, and the Invisible Woman in Marvel Rivals. In order to continue passing, players will need to gain experience by playing matches. Players are then given silver and gold tokens to use in a virtual vending machine full of cosmetics. While Jeff's new Jeff the Business Shark costume can be obtained for free, players who wish to obtain Mister Fantastic's Invisible Woman and Tastic Reed Vanishing Dessert costume will need to purchase the premium version of the pass for 990 Lattice. Players looking to get even more cosmetics may be pleased to know that Blade and Venom will be getting new skins in the in-game store.

Gamers looking for a deal may want to check Marvel Rivals' Black Friday sale that will start on November 28. Fans will be able to immediately take advantage of a 20% discount on items that were released in Season 3 or earlier, but the savings will continue to accumulate as players purchase more cosmetics. NetEase Games will also be bringing back the Season 1 Battle Pass for a limited time, giving players who missed it the first time around a new chance to pick up some stylish cosmetic options. It seems that Marvel Rivals is just kicking off its anniversary celebration as the patch notes mention that more content and free rewards will arrive on December 4th. With so much content to enjoy and more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future Marvel Rivals.
