Marvel Rivals Version 20261001 goes live on October 1, 2026 at 09:00 UTC with no server downtime, so players can patch and play. The update adds the Luna Snow “Lunar Luna” skin, the Phoenix “Cosmic Spark” skin, a Luna Snow chroma with Ultimate Ability VFX, and Ignite Series esports predictions. NetEase detailed the changes in patch notes published the same day. The release follows the September 24 update that added the God Quarry map and centers on cosmetics, events, and fixes.
Store cosmetics and Pop & Win event
The two new store cosmetics arrive on October 2, 2026 at 02:00 UTC and remain available through October 30, 2026 at 02:00 UTC. Luna Snow receives the Lunar Luna skin along with a Chroma named Pink Planets/Dark Nebula and Ultimate Ability VFX. Phoenix receives the Cosmic Spark skin. The Pop & Win event features the Luna Snow Lunar Luna and Phoenix Cosmic Spark items as well, giving players a chance to win either skin at a discount. That event window runs from September 17, 2026 at 09:00 UTC through October 16, 2026 at 02:00 UTC, closing before the store window ends at the end of October.
Ignite Series Stage 2 Playoffs predictions
In Season 10, predictions for the Marvel Rivals Ignite Series Stage 2 Playoffs open on October 5. Each region carries its own deadline: October 8 at 05:50 UTC for the Pacific Series, October 15 at 19:50 UTC for the Americas Series, October 15 at 10:50 UTC for the EMEA Series, and October 16 at 06:50 UTC for the China Series. Players who submit playoff predictions and watch the matches through the in-game broadcast can complete event quests to earn Nameplates, Titles, and Units.
Bug fixes
Alongside the new content, NetEase shipped three fixes. A typo in the description for Rogue’s stolen Adam Warlock ability incorrectly claimed she could enter “fly freely,” and that wording has been corrected. In the Jeff’s Superstar Search event, clicking the GO button previously forced the lobby to switch to Quick Match, but it now works in any mode. A Customize menu UI glitch where a Chroma description stayed stuck on the screen after unselecting it has been resolved as well.
