Marvel Rivals Deploys Seamless Patch with New Peni Parker Bundle and Critical Bug Fixes

September 4, 2025 - Marvel Games and NetEase Games have released a minor patch for Marvel Rivals (version 20250904) today at 09:00 UTC, delivering a new store bundle alongside a suite of gameplay and stability improvements-all without requiring server downtime.

The headline addition is the Peni Parker “Wasteland Mech” bundle, which becomes available in the in-game store starting September 5 at 02:00 UTC. The thematic bundle includes a post-apocalyptic makeover for SP//dr and a brand-new emote.

Beyond cosmetics, the patch tackles a range of bugs to enhance overall player experience:

• Discord Friend Requests: Eliminated duplicate request notifications for players linked to Discord.
• Costume SFX Display: Resolved issues that prevented players from setting costume-exclusive special effects when using certain screen ratios.
• Custom Game Spectator Mode: Corrected team-color display errors in tournament spectator mode and removed an infinite pop-up loop encountered when canceling password entry in locked custom games.
• Map-Related Glitches: Fixed terrain exploits that could trap or misplace heroes in unintended locations across various maps.
• Hero Exploits: Addressed an unintended boost where Emma Frost’s Telepathic Pulse and Doctor Strange’s attacks against Blade during Bloodline Awakening granted excessive damage and resource gains.

Looking ahead, this update lays the groundwork for Season 4, set to launch on September 12 with new heroes, modes, and map content. Players can jump right back into action immediately after updating, as the patch rolled out without any service interruptions.
