Marvel Rivals' patch 20260305 goes live today, March 5, at 09:00 UTC, and NetEase is keeping the servers up throughout. No downtime. Just patch and play.
On the bug fix side, three issues got the boot. Doctor Strange's portal now drops enemies the instant it opens beneath them, which is the kind of fix that will quietly change a few team fights. Angela had a rare edge case where Assassin's Charge would stop carrying enemies after a mirror collision with another Angela; that's gone. Iron Fist's Lion's Gaze Chromas were ignoring the exclusive voice line toggle entirely, which was annoying enough that someone clearly filed a ticket about it.
Cosmetically, the Psylocke Once-Captive Corsair Bundle and the Captain America Cursed Captain Bundle both land tomorrow, March 6. The Chrono-Rush event also returns today, running through March 20, with no cap on Chrono Tokens earned. The more you play, the more you bank.
Full patch notes below.

Fixes and Optimizations
All Platforms
1. Iron Fist's Lion Roar: Iron Fist's Lion's Gaze costume Chromas Savage Spirit and Lively Lion had a stubborn exclusive ultimate ability voice line that wouldn't quiet down even after turning off exclusive voice settings. We called in the Heroes for Hire, and now the voice toggle works as intended!
Heroes
1. Angela's Angelic Bug Exorcised: When Angela used Assassin's Charge to carry an enemy, and collided with an enemy Angela who was also using Assassin's Charge, there was a slim chance her next Assassin's Charge wouldn't carry enemies. The odds were small, but the gods have spoken, and this bug has been banished! Angela's abilities are now as heavenly as her reputation.
2. Doctor Strange's Portal Predicament: Enemies wouldn't immediately fall when the Sorcerer Supreme conjured a portal beneath their feet. The mystic arts have been refined: targets now fall as intended the moment a portal opens beneath them. No temporary Cloaks of Levitation allowed!
