Marvel Rivals Drops June 5 Patch Notes: New Mode, Skins & Quality of Life Updates

NetEase Games has officially revealed the full patch notes for Marvel Rivals’ upcoming June 5 update, giving fans a detailed look at what’s coming to the hero shooter. Following the launch of the mid-season 2.5 update, which introduced Ultron to the roster, players can now look forward to new cosmetics, a tactical game mode, and several key optimizations.

⚔️ Vanguard Struggles Continue Amid Meta Shifts

Although Season 2.5 has brought plenty of excitement, some players have voiced frustration — particularly Vanguard mains. With four flying heroes now in the game and most Vanguards lacking strong ranged capabilities, their effectiveness in open maps has taken a hit. The Thing has been called out specifically, as even his ultimate requires grounded enemies, making him less viable in the current meta.

✅ June 5 Update Highlights

🧠 New Experimental Mode: Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol

Launching June 6, players can dive into the mind of Ultron in an all-new tactical mode:

• Choose an entire team of heroes instead of a single character.
• Deploy them on a grid, assign perks, and engage in strategic, turn-based combat.
• A fresh experience for Marvel fans, this limited-time mode runs from🗓 June 6, 09:00 UTC to June 23, 09:00 UTC

🛍️ New Skins in the Store

Starting June 6 at 02:00 UTC, players can pick up:

• Weapon X Wolverine Bundle – Featuring Logan’s iconic test subject look.
• Sunshine Land Shark Bundle – A summer-themed makeover for Jeff the Land Shark.

💰 Pricing details have yet to be announced.
