To prepare for these multiversal reinforcements, servers will undergo maintenance on June 12, 2026, starting at 09:00 UTC. The downtime is expected to last roughly two hours. Once back online, players can dive into the Shenloong Tournament event, which offers a free Groot costume for those who prove their mettle in the arena.
Cyclops brings his signature optic blasts to the fray, offering high-precision damage that should shift the current long-range meta. His inclusion feels timely as the Timestream Entanglement continues to pull heavy hitters from across the multiverse to deal with the dual threat of the Doctor Dooms.
Technically, this patch is a significant leap forward. Marvel Rivals is implementing NVIDIA DLSS 4.5, featuring enhanced Super Resolution and Multi-Frame Generation. For those running RTX 50 Series GPUs, the new high-multiplier frame generation should provide a much-needed performance buffer during the chaotic 36-player battles in the new Shenloong Arena.
The update also addresses some lingering mechanical issues. Black Cat's Fortune stack gain has been tuned for better consistency, and a critical bug allowing Devil Dinosaur to maintain a permanent speed boost after his ultimate has been squashed. These fixes are vital for maintaining competitive integrity as the scale of battles increases this season.
Finally, the 616 Vault Sale begins alongside the update, running until June 26. If you've been eyeing specific cosmetics to customize your squad, this is the window to grab them before the vault closes again.
