May 28 at 09:00 UTC, Marvel Rivals will roll out a no-downtime patch adding Nueva York 2099's Alchemax Headquarters map for Doom Match and launching a trial anti-cheat rank compensation system.
The system will refund all ranked points lost in a match if a reported cheater is verified, while the update also raises Blood Hunt's Nightmare difficulty cap to 200 and rebalances multiple heroes.
Punisher, Blade, Thor, Jeff the Land Shark and others receive mostly damage and survivability buffs in Blood Hunt, while Moon Knight gets a damage reduction boost but a Hand of Khonshu nerf.
May 29 to June 22, weekend Chrono-Rush and Double XP events will run across four windows, and Black Cat's Wild Card bundle goes on sale from May 29 to June 26.
The patch also responds to player feedback by giving Daredevil's Shadowed Start costume two free options—a white billy club and a toggle to disable Demon's Rage flames on the owner's screen.
Beyond new content, will this patch's technical and balance changes actually secure Marvel Rivals' long-term future?
With major hero changes and a new map, has Marvel Rivals just completely reset its competitive meta?
Can a new anti-cheat system truly restore fairness to ranked play, or is it just a temporary solution?
