Marvel Rivals Update v20250122 Deploys With Hero Fixes and Event Gear
Marvel Rivals version v20250122 launches without server downtime, bringing the Fortune and Colors event, the Clash of Dancing Lions mode, and a round of hero and environment bug fixes.
Marvel Rivals version v20250122 arrives on January 22, 2025, without server downtime. The update introduces the Fortune and Colors event alongside gameplay adjustments, streaming enhancements, and targeted hero bug fixes.
Fortune and Colors Event and New Modes
The Fortune and Colors event runs from January 23 to February 14, 2025. Players complete missions to earn Danqing, a magical dye used to fill out an illustration and unlock a commemorative Gallery Card. The event also introduces the Clash of Dancing Lions mode in Wakanda's World Arena, featuring Iron Fist, Star-Lord, and Black Widow. The Clashing Lions costume series includes the Star-Lord Lion's Mane outfit, which is free to acquire during the event, alongside the Black Widow Lion's Heartbeat and Iron Fist Lion's Gaze costumes available in the store.
System and Interface Updates
Streaming Mode now features custom alternate names instead of system-generated ones. The Leaderboard includes a new season dropdown menu for viewing different rankings, and the Career system supports viewing historical season rank information.
Hero Bug Fixes
Several hero abilities receive corrections in this patch. Wolverine's enhanced Savage Claw attacks after Feral Leap are no longer tied to frame rate, and his ultimate ends properly after landing from a pull-back. Hawkeye's Focus passive display accuracy is corrected. Invisible Woman's Psionic Vortex no longer restricts specific hero mobility abilities, and her ultimate is used properly at door locations alongside Namor's. Magik uses Stepping Discs after activating her ultimate in certain situations. Peni Parker's Bionic Spider-Nest remains grounded when a Klyntar device is raised, and her web behavior in Convoy Mode is fixed. Loki's Punisher transformation effect for Warrior's Gaze fades immediately when the ultimate concludes, and his low-framerate Storm ultimate cancellation issue is resolved. Mister Fantastic retains ability access after reconnecting from an offline state while inflated, and duplicate Mister Fantastic transformations cannot reuse Distended Grip.
Environment and Performance Fixes
Developers resolved performance issues with destructible environments and fixed instances where players got stuck in terrain. The patch addresses Reverse-Destruction performance problems after repairs on Empire of Eternal Night maps. Additionally, a camera misalignment issue occurring when Adam Warlock revives a player spectating Hela during her ultimate is fixed.
Why this patch matters
Version v20250122 delivers practical quality-of-life adjustments and fixes persistent hero input bugs while launching a seasonal event.
