Marvel Rivals släpper patch den 30 april — Fixar, skins och zombiehänder!

NetEase Games has officially released the April 30 patch notes for Marvel Rivals, bringing a wave of quality-of-life improvements, bug fixes, and a long-awaited update to Doctor Strange's Multiverse of Madness skin. This update sets the stage for the bigger mid-season patch expected in May.

🔧 Doctor Strange Skin Controversy Resolved

After player backlash, Doctor Strange’s undead skin finally matches its original promo art. The skin now features the much-requested zombie hand shroud—a nod to his eerie MCU transformation. Previously, these visuals only triggered during two Vanguard abilities, leading to accusations of misleading advertising. The new update adds:

• Enhanced visual details 🎨
• Updated voice effects - Now, Strange looks as spooky as fans expected.

Launching May 2, this limited-time event lets players earn the Wolverine “Patch” costume and additional free rewards.📅 Event runs until May 23.
