Marvel Rivals season 3 patch notes: Skins, fixes, and more coming in the new update
Marvel Rivals has dropped a new update ahead of its biggest seasonal refresh yet. The July 3 patch isn't massive, but it brings meaningful upgrades. Players can unlock two new superhero skins, experience smoother gameplay thanks to key bug fixes, and get ready for Season 3, which launches on July 11.
The competitive shooter has kept fans busy with weekly updates, and this patch follows up on the June 26 changes that adjusted how surrendering works. That update also gave players a new Punisher skin from Daredevil: Born Again and a Thor outfit based on his look in X-Men: Hellfire Gala. Now, the focus shifts to symbiotes, venom suits, and what lies ahead.
What's new in the July 3 Marvel Rivals update
SEASON 3 BATTLE PASS "POWER OF THE PHOENIX" Emma Frost "Phoenix Force"Venomized skins for Rocket Raccoon, Jeff, and Squirrel Girl
The biggest additions in this update are two new skin bundles:
Captain America wears the "Captain Klyntar" look, where Steve Rogers suits up in a venom-inspired design from the 2017 Edge of Venomverse comic.
Spider-Man joins the Future Foundation with his clean white costume, originally worn in comics during his time with Reed Richards' team.
Both bundles come with extras like MVP intros, emotes, sprays, and nameplates.
The update also brings fixes to issues affecting multiple characters:
Thor's abilities were misfiring due to high latency, especially when using Thorforce. That problem is now resolved.
Magneto and Psylocke's illusions were incorrectly triggering kill-related effects tied to other characters, like Loki or Thor. This bug has been removed, so only real opponents will activate such effects.
These small but helpful tweaks should make matches smoother and more balanced for all players.
This patch may be short, but it leads into something much bigger. Marvel Rivals has confirmed that Season 3 will start on July 11, bringing new heroes like Blade and Jean Grey to the game. Fans can also expect a new map based on Klyntar, home of the symbiotes, and more skins, including one for Jeff the Land Shark.
Marvel Rivals continues to expand with each update. From deep lore to fun cosmetics and a growing hero lineup, it is building toward a strong third season.
