NetEase Games has just pushed the August 20 update (v20260820) for Marvel Rivals, dropping a new wave of Summer Skins and tightening a few hero mechanics.
Update Timing and No Downtime
The season 9.5 content drop activates Aug 20, 2026 at 09:00 UTC, with no planned server downtime. Players should update quickly to re-enter.
New Skins and Bundle Details
Store inventory updates with three fresh bundled skins: Cyclops, Phoenix, and Daredevil. These items appear in the in‑store shop on Aug 21 2026 at 02:00 UTC and remain available until Sept 18 2026 at 02:00 UTC.
Hero Fixes
- Loki – Lower‑body animations now work correctly when Lady Loki uses Hela’s Team‑Up ability (Villain’s Illusion).
- Hela – Astral Flock cast no longer leads to incapacitation in Thoth’s Wrath zones on Wakanda maps.
These updates round out the second wave of Summer Skins; fans should test the newly fixed hero dynamics and uncover fresh tactical options.
