The latest Marvel Rivals update introduces new limited time content, headlined by the Blood Hunt PvE mode where players face off against vampire threats across New York City. Alongside this, the Hellfire Gala 2026 event brings new missions and rewards, including themed costumes for several characters.
In addition to content additions, the update includes new store bundles and a targeted gameplay fix for Cloak and Dagger. While relatively focused, this patch expands the live service offerings with new activities and cosmetic unlocks.
