The latest patch for Marvel Rivals contains what is either the best possible pitch for buying premium access to an event or the most underhanded possible move for doing so because you need premium access to get Venom’s Bubble Pop costume. Everyone can earn the Human Torch’s Future Foundation costume for free, but don’t you want Venom to be dressed up in a pink bubblegum suit? Doesn’t that immediately sound like the best thing? It’s insidious. (It’s also worth noting that buying premium removes the “time-limited” element of this particular event, too.)
Players can also look to the newest patch to provide a number of fixes for various game issues, like the fact that Wolverine’s Ultimate could send people with Unstoppable flying (something that shouldn’t be happening) or that Mister Fantastic could sometimes use Flexible Elongation to knock himself out on terrain. Check out the full patch notes for all the ability fixes, and get ready to stare in longing at bubble gum Venom. It’s so beautiful. They should have sent a poet.
