Marvel Rivals – Season 4.5 early patch notes
New hero: Daredevil
Daredevil, yet another Duelist, is the new hero in the midseason update. Matt Murdock’s devilish appearance looks to add yet another nightmare for Strategist players to deal with in the backline as he’s able to quickly close the gap on fleeing foes and beat them down with his billy clubs.
New and changed Team-Up Abilities
- New: Bestial Hunt (Daredevil and The Punisher)
- New: Deep Wrath (Hela and Namor)
- Changed: Gamma Charge (Hulk, Namor, Black Panther)
- Namor removed.
- Removed: Ragnarok Rebirth (Hela and Thor)
Cross Progression testing
Finally! Cross Progression is coming to Marvel Rivals, allowing players to link their PC and console accounts to use the same skins and unlocks across platforms. It will roll out in limited testing form in season 4.5 but come to all players in November for season five.
Everything besides leaderboards, ranked play ranks, and stats will carry over between the platforms, so the feature will mainly be for unlocking and using skins and items.
Buffs and nerfs
More info about individual hero buffs and nerfs will be coming ahead of the update’s launch on Oct. 10, so check back here for details soon.
New game mode
A special new mode is coming after the season 4.5 update, but not much is known just yet. More will be revealed at the Thailand Game Show on Oct. 17.
Halloween event
For the first time ever, Marvel Rivals will celebrate Halloween with a spooky event that will bring new skins to the game, including the ones shown above for Peni Parker, Jeff the Landshark, Namor, Scarlet Witch, Blade, and Spider-Man. Details about the Halloween event, including what’s paid and what’s free, are coming soon.
