The highly anticipated Marvel Rivals update is set to launch on March 6, with leaks revealing key details ahead of time, including full patch notes, a new game mode, and free skins. This follows the major February 21 update, which introduced significant changes for Season 1.5. Let’s take a look at what’s coming.
Marvel Rivals March 6 Patch Notes – Leaked Changes
Following Riot’s statement that major patches may arrive more frequently in response to specific issues, the leaked March 6 update appears to focus on bug fixes and general improvements rather than balance changes. Here’s what’s expected:
General Fixes
- Switching from Proficiency Deluxe Avatar to standard now works instantly, eliminating the need to relog.
- Career profiles now update max proficiency scores immediately.
- Fixed misleading blocklist notifications that previously confused it with a full friends list.
Map and Mode Adjustments
- Resolved terrain issues where characters could get stuck.
- Fixed collision glitches and floating objects across multiple maps.
- Addressed various sound effect inconsistencies.
Hero Fixes
- Adam Warlock: If his Ultimate fails near cliff edges, he will now receive 50% energy refunded.
- Hela: Fixed a bug that caused her to be launched upwards after using her Ultimate.
- Human Torch: Fixed Flaming Meteor trapping enemies inside walls.
- Loki: UI no longer disappears after transformation.
- Punisher: His Ultimate will no longer fire missiles during network disruptions.
These fixes are based on leaks and should be taken with caution until NetEase Games officially confirms them.
Leaked Galacta Event & Free Black Widow Skin
A new limited-time event, Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure, is rumored to start on March 7 and run until April 11. It is expected to offer various free rewards, including the highly anticipated Black Widow – Mrs. Barnes skin, inspired by the Western-themed 1872 comic series.
The event will reportedly function similarly to Fortune & Colors (Jan. 23 – Feb. 14), requiring players to complete missions to earn exclusive currency, which can then be used to unlock skins and Chrono Tokens for the battle pass.
Marvel Rivals – Clone Rumble Game Mode Leaks
A brand-new game mode called Clone Rumble has been leaked and is expected to launch alongside Galacta’s Cosmic Adventure. According to the leaks, this mode will allow players to choose the same heroes, forming what is described as an “impossible team.” Three possible mechanics have been speculated:
- No hero cap: Players on the same team can pick the same heroes, leading to unique compositions like six Doctor Stranges opening portals simultaneously.
- Limited hero pool: Both teams select from a predefined set of heroes, leading to mirror matchups testing strategy and execution.
- One-hero teams: Each team is forced to use the same hero, offering a more structured version of the format.
If Clone Rumble is included in the March 6 update, we can expect more details soon.
Impact on Esports Scene
While quality-of-life improvements will refine gameplay, the lack of balance changes means the competitive meta will remain stable for upcoming tournaments. This includes the EMEA Invitational’s conclusion and the start of North America’s version, testing how teams refine strategies in an already established meta.
Final Thoughts
With bug fixes, a new event, free skins, and a possible new game mode, the March 6 update could be one of the most exciting patches yet for Marvel Rivals. If these leaks hold, players can look forward to fresh content and unique challenges in the coming weeks.
