A big highlight of this patch is the Hellfire Gala Moments event, which begins on May 2. Players can earn Wolverine’s “Patch” series costume for free by taking part in this event, running until May 23. It’s a great chance to snag some cool rewards while enjoying new content.

Balance Changes to Heroes

This patch also brings balance adjustments to keep the game fair and engaging. For example, Captain America’s base health drops from 650 to 600. To add to that, Spider-Man’s abilities have been tweaked as well. These changes could shift how you play, so it’s worth experimenting with your favorite heroes. You can find the full list of adjustments in the official patch notes. For more of the latest gaming updates, visit our Total Apex Gaming.

New Costumes Hit the Store

Costume fans are in for a treat with this update. Starting May 1, Winter Soldier gets the Thunderbolts bundle, and Black Panther rocks the Damisa-Sarki look. Plus, Doctor Strange’s Multiverse of Madness skin has been upgraded with better visuals and voice effects. These additions let you customize your heroes in style.

Bug Fixes for Smoother Play

The developers have tackled several bugs to improve gameplay. Wolverine’s Aerial Annihilator Ultimate now deals damage as intended, and a speed decay issue with Star-Lord’s Rocket Revamp is fixed. These changes make matches more reliable and enjoyable. For all the details, head to the official update page.

Why This Update Stands Out

The April 30th patch proves that NetEase Games is committed. They are always trying to keep Marvel Rivals polished and feeling fresh. The mix of new events, hero tweaks, and visual upgrades keeps players coming back. Curious about how this fits into the bigger picture? Check out IGN’s take on Marvel Rivals for more context.
