7.Wolverine's Fury Corrected: Fixed an issue where Wolverine's ultimate ability occasionally wouldn't end properly after landing after being pulled back.

8.Heroic Hint Harmony: Corrected abnormal ping prompts for some heroes.

9.Magik's Misstep: Addressed a bug where Magik could not use Stepping Discs after activating her ultimate ability in certain situations.

10.Peni Parker's Precision: Fixed an issue where Peni's Bionic Spider-Nest would be unintentionally lifted along with the Klyntar device when raised—now, her tech remains grounded and ready for action!

11.Loki's Transformation Tweaked: Resolved a problem where Loki, after using his ultimate ability to shapeshift into the Punisher, if Warrior's Gaze was triggered when the transform was about to end its effects lingered too long. The Warrior's Gaze effect will now fade as soon as the ultimate concludes—no more lingering vision trickery!

12.Web-Slinging Adjustments: Fixed an issue where, in certain situations in Convoy Mode, if Peni Parker fired a Cyber-Web below the vehicle, her web would move with the vehicle. Now, her webbing sticks like it should.

13.Mister Fantastic's Resilience Restored: Resolved a bug where if Mister Fantastic was knocked offline while in his inflated state and then rejoined, Mister Fantastic might be unable to use some abilities after reconnecting. He's now back in action and ready to stretch into battle!

14.Webbing Dynamics Corrected: Corrected an issue where Peni Parker's web being pulled back could be blocked by enemy heroes, leading to positional anomalies. Now, her webbing will behave as intended.

15.Camera Alignment Fixed: Fixed a camera misalignment issue that could occur while KO'd and revived by Adam Warlock while spectating Hela just as she rises up to launch her Ultimate Ability.

In the wake of the buzz surrounding our recent Dev Vision, where keyboard and mouse adapters were mentioned, we've seen a surge of interest and questions from our mighty community. We're here to shed some light on this matter.
First, the Marvel Rivals team stands unwavering in our mission to foster a fair and thrilling gameplay for all. Cheating in any form is something we will battle relentlessly, and we call upon our community to rally behind our quest to maintain a positive gaming atmosphere.


We define keyboard and mouse adapters as the use of software or hardware to mimic controller inputs with a keyboard and mouse. This method can grant an unfair edge in competitive play, for example, harnessing high sensitivity with the aim-assist features.
Some common adapters include the XIM series, Cronus Zen series, Titan Two series, KeyMander series, and Brook Sniper series, among others. Any device enabling keyboard and mouse emulation of controller inputs, even if not explicitly listed, will be considered a keyboard and mouse adapter.


We have forged a strong detection tool and couple with the keen judgment of our watchful human eyes to accurately identify those using keyboard and mouse adapters.
We believe that gaining an unjust advantage through such methods significantly impacts the gaming experience for our players. Therefore, whether on PC or console, we will take measures to vanquish this nefarious behavior. Penalties for users of keyboard and mouse adapters may include temporary or permanent account suspensions, removal from leaderboards, or other punishments depending on the circumstances.

Join us in upholding fair and epic gaming and ignite the battle!
