NetEase released Marvel Rivals patch 1.73/1.000.108 on September 17, 2026, introducing new character lore and cosmetic bundles while adjusting Scarlet Witch's ultimate ability. This update matters to players who rely on Scarlet Witch's Reality Erasure, as the developers significantly reduced the probability of her being immune to damage during the wind-up phase. The patch also resolves several bugs that previously affected team dynamics and visual consistency for other heroes.

NetEase releases patch 1.73 with new Moon Knight lore and Scarlet Witch balance changes

The update introduces new Moon Knight lore titled New Moon Rising and adds the Eternity Knight Bundle to the in-game store. Players can also access new costumes including a Gwenpool chroma for Jeff the Land Shark and an X-Men '97 Season 2 MVP skin for Rogue and Gambit. These additions provide fresh visual options for collectors and fans of specific Marvel storylines.

NetEase Developers stated they "Significantly reduced the probability of the Scarlet Witch being immune to incoming damage during Reality Erasure (Ultimate Ability) wind up." This change directly impacts gameplay balance by making Scarlet Witch more vulnerable during her most powerful move. The developers also fixed a bug in Clone Rumble that prevented players from switching Team-Ups when randomized as Deadpool.

New limited-time events include Pop & Win, offering Jubilee's Vampy Jammies and Magneto's Master of Slumber costumes, and Jeff's Dream Eater, which features Venom's President Ozzy costume. Players can also earn rewards from Jeff's Superstar Search by collecting stars for a Spray, Title, and Nameplate. The patch further corrects visual and audio issues for Jeff the Land Shark, Peni Parker, Doctor Strange, and Emma Frost.

When we covered the last Marvel Rivals update, several of the same balance and stability themes came up. This patch continues that trend by addressing both gameplay mechanics and cosmetic glitches. The update is available globally starting September 17th, 2026, at 9:00:00 UTC.
