Ultron will make his debut as a Strategist, which will allow him to provide support to his allies while dishing out damage to his foes. While his ability kit hasn't been officially released, leakers believe he will heavily rely on drones to defend allies and attack enemies. NetEase Games hasn't announced a release date for the major mid-season patch, but many people seem to believe it could be happening sooner rather than later.

In a recent post on Twitter, NetEase Games revealed its patch notes for an upcoming update on May 22, which includes new skins for both Scarlet Witch and Adam Warlock in Marvel Rivals. The fresh costumes give both heroes a radiant appearance, as Adam Warlock has two gold dragon heads around his shoulders, and Scarlet Witch appears to have golden hair, hands, and ribbons that glow. The new skins are scheduled to release on May 22 at 7 PM PDT in the game's store. As of writing, there's no official word on just how much either skin will cost, but it's likely that they will be included in bundles with a spray, emote, and MVP screen.

The tweet also mentioned that some fan-favorite bundles could be coming back to the game's store, which has many fans wondering what they could be. It would seem that a lot of people are hoping to see the Galactic Talon skins return for Hawkeye and Captain America in Marvel Rivals. Both bundles were only available in the hero shooter's store during Season 0, and it would seem that a large portion of the community believed they would never return.

Several people commented on the tweet, stating that it might make sense for the skins to return, as NetEase Games has brought Marvel Rivals' Season 0 battle pass back for a limited time. Gamers who wish to purchase the pass will need to buy it before it leaves the game again on May 29. With so much content to enjoy and even more on the way, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Marvel Rivals.

New Features

We've streamlined the store layout: the first two pages are now dedicated to New Arrivals and Recommended.
A "Use Default Costume Voices" option has been added under Settings - Audio.
Players can now have up to 5 sprays at once on the battlefield.

Fixes

All Platforms

System & Features

Fixed an issue where, after signing up for a tournament, selecting Details would redirect to the wrong page.
Fixed an issue where One Above All players could sometimes be reset to Eternity rank upon login.
Fixed a bug causing the mouse icon to disappear after switching heroes in settings with raw mouse input enabled.
Fixed an issue where the coach's spectator view could sometimes freeze after pausing and resuming in custom tournament rooms.

Maps and Modes

Addressed structural issues in the Klyntar and Spider-Islands maps.

Heroes

Doctor Strange's Astral Shenanigans: Fixed a peculiar problem where souls from the Sorcerer Supreme's Ultimate Ability could sometimes meddle with Human Torch's Primary Attack. Now, Johnny Storm can flame on without any mystical interference.
Mantis' Sedate Slipup: Fix a rare error where, when Mantis worked her Spore Slumber, some heroes wouldn't wake up after taking a hit. Now, after a quick snooze (and a smack), everyone's back in the action, just like Star-Lord after his morning coffee.
Emma Frost's Diamond Dilemma: Sometimes, when Emma switched to her diamond form, textures from her own perspective would glitch out. She's now flawless, both inside and out!
Mister Fantastic's Portal Puzzler: When Reed tried to stretch his way after a target through a Doctor Strange portal with Flexible Elongation, he'd sometimes veer off in the wrong direction and would go through at all! Now, Mister Fantastic can twist, turn, and traverse the multiverse with the precision of a true Illuminati member.
