What changed

  • NEWK'un-Lun: Shenloong ArenaSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    New Map: K'un-Lun: Shenloong Arena

    K'un-Lun: Shenloong Arena is a new 18 vs 18 Bounty Annihilation map, but it is not available on Xbox Series S for now.

    A new Bounty Annihilation (18 vs 18) map, K'un-Lun: Shenloong Arena, set at the Tournament of the Heavenly Cities. Temporarily unavailable on Xbox Series S.

    TipIt is an 18 vs 18 Bounty Annihilation map, so expect a much looser fight than a 6v6 queue. On Xbox Series S it is not available yet, so an empty queue there is the patch note, not matchmaking.

  • REWORKBlack CatSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Black Cat reworked for balance

    Black Cat is reworked: Cat's Cradle deals less damage and uses a cooldown instead of charges, relics cost more Fortune, and Calling Card has shorter range and gives less Fortune but its second hit hurts more.

    • Cat's Cradle damage 50 to 40, charge removed for 8s cooldown
    • Phantom Pursuit 75 to 70 relic Fortune costs increased to 300
    • Calling Card range 60m to 40m, second hit damage 30 to 70, Fortune gain 300 to 200.

    Official source

    • while in sword stance, Daywalker Dash initial hit increased from 20 to 30, damage per spin increased from 8 to 10 (total increased from 52 to 70).

    Official source
  • REWORKCloak & DaggerSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Healing rebalanced - single-target reduced, area healing and boost increased

    Cloak & Dagger's Lightforce Dagger heals less on a single target but more through its spell field, and Veil of Lightforce gives a bigger healing boost.

    • Lightforce Dagger single-target healing reduced from 16 to 12, spell field healing increased from 16 to 20.
    • Veil of Lightforce healing boost increased from 15% to 20%.

    • Sonic Pursuit dash targeting distance reduced from 20m to 12m

  • NERFDevil DinosaurSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Ability adjustments and crowd control reduction

    Official source
  • NERFPhoenixSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Flanking sustain and range damage reduced

    Phoenix heals less over time after detonating Sparks, and Cosmic FlamesLMB keeps less damage at long range, so Phoenix has less staying power on flanks and deals less damage from a distance.

    Healing over time after detonating Sparks reduced from 10/s to 5/s, and Cosmic Flames damage falloff at 30m adjusted from 75% to 65%.

    TipYou are less effective flanking alone and need more support at range.

    Official source
  • BUFFRogueSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Fatal AttractionSHIFT, Defensive StanceRMB, and energy conversion all improved

    Rogue's Fatal Attraction comes back faster, Defensive Stance drains energy more slowly, and more absorbed damage turns into energy, so Rogue can use those abilities more often.

    • Fatal Attraction cooldown decreased from 14s to 12s
    • Defensive Stance energy consumption reduced from 60/s to 50/s
    • absorbed damage energy conversion ratio increased from 35% to 55%.

    Official source
  • CHANGEAdam WarlockSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Avatar Life StreamE Charge Acceleration

    Adam Warlock's Cosmic ClusterRMB hits now take more time off the Avatar Life Stream charge, so it is ready sooner.

    TipAccelerated charge times strengthen healing output during sustained team engagements

    Official source
  • BUFFDeadpoolSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Official source
  • BUFFElsa BloodstoneSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Inherited Instinct accumulation accelerated

    Elsa Bloodstone's Inherited Instinct now builds up from less damage dealt, so it fills faster.

    Inherited Instinct damage requirement from 1667 to 1111 (conversion multiplier from 0.0006 to 0.0009).

    TipYou stack your passive faster, reaching bonuses sooner in fights.

    Official source
  • NERFGambitSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Ultimate damage and movement speed reduced

    Gambit's Ragin' Royal FlushQ now gives a smaller damage multiplier and a smaller movement speed bonus.

    Ragin' Royal Flush damage multiplier from 25% to 20%, movement speed bonus from 40% to 30%.

    TipYour ultimate is less overwhelming; coordinate teamfights with allies instead of solo carrying.

    Official source
  • BUFFHuman TorchSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Mobility Cooldown Reduction

    Human Torch's Flaming MeteorF comes back sooner and Plasma BodySHIFT energizes a charge faster, so both can be used more often.

    Flaming Meteor cooldown 20s -> 15s. Plasma Body charge energize time 10s -> 8s.

    TipFaster ability access improves mobility and utility cooldown cycling.

    Official source
  • BUFFMagnetoSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Meteor MQ lasts longer and hits harder

    Magneto's Meteor M lasts longer and deals more damage when fully charged.

    Increase Meteor M maximum duration from 4s to 5s and fully charged damage from 300 to 350.

    TipYour ultimate is more potent and lasts longer - lock down enemies harder.

    Official source
  • NERFMoon KnightSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Damage Reduction Across the Board

    • Moon Blade damage reduced from 80 to 70.
    • Damage attenuation per bounce adjusted from 80% to 70% (increased damage loss on multi-target bounces).

    Official source
  • BUFFNamorSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Faster ultimate charge with Trident

    Namor's Trident of NeptuneLMB hits now take more time off the Aquatic DominionE cooldown, so Aquatic Dominion comes back sooner.

    Aquatic Dominion cooldown reduction from Trident of Neptune hits increases from 1 to 1.3 seconds.

    TipLand more Tridents to charge your ult faster during fights.

    Official source
  • NERFStar-LordSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Element GunsLMB mid-range falloff reduced

    Star-Lord's Element Guns lose more damage at mid range, so Star-Lord deals less sustained damage there, and the Ultimate Ability is not affected.

    Element Guns damage falloff at 25m reduced from 65% to 50, reducing mid-range sustained damage (this does not affect his Ultimate Ability).

    TipYour mid-range threat dropped sharply; close the gap more aggressively or rely on your ultimate for chip damage.

    Official source
  • NERFUltronSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Range and cooldown pullback

    Ultron's Patch drone now has to be closer to its target to attach, Firewall takes longer to come back, and the Ultimate needs more energy, so Firewall and the Ultimate are available less often.

    • Patch drone attach distance reduced from 35m to 30m
    • Firewall cooldown increased from 10s to 12s
    • Ultimate energy cost increased from 4000 to 4300.

    Official source
  • NERFWhite FoxSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Spectral Surge radius reduced

    White Fox's Spectral Surge has a smaller radius for both the Charm and Invincibility, so it is harder to catch enemies and cover allies with it.

    Spectral Surge Charm and Invincibility radius reduced 0.8m to 0.6m.

    TipSmaller CC area makes positioning more critical for landing crowd control.

    Official source
  • NEWHellfire Bay BeachSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    New Social Hub: Hellfire Bay Beach

    A new non-competitive social hub map, Hellfire Bay Beach, was added, reachable via Times Square's Krakoan portal.

    TipHellfire Bay Beach is a social hangout, not a ranked map - use it for the Festival minigames and hero interactions, not queue practice.

    Official source
  • NEWRivals Summer FestivalSeason 8.5 - Jun 2026

    Rivals Summer Festival Kicks Off

    The Rivals Summer Festival seasonal event launched with festive missions and rewards.

10 Jun 2026 › Heroes

  • - Black Cat's Karma Correction: Fixed an issue where Black Cat would unintentionally gain multiple stacks of Fortune if her Cat's Cradle ability struck several enemies at once. We know she loves to steal the spotlight, but even the Kingpin wouldn't allow odds that stacked! Whether she crosses one path or six, she'll now only swipe a single stack of Fortune per use.
  • - Devil Dinosaur's Decelerated Dash: Addressed a quirky anomaly where if Devil Dinosaur popped his Ultimate while sped up by Jeff the Land Shark's bubble, and was then subsequently swallowed and spat out by Jeff's Ultimate, Double-D had a chance to permanently retain abnormally high movement speed after his Ultimate ended. This prehistoric speed demon has been properly reined in!

10 Jun 2026 › Heroes › Maps

  • - Dimensional Stitching: Fixed a batch of map collision issues that could cause characters to get snagged or stuck on environmental geometry.
  • The Marvel Rivals universe is ever-evolving, and we have plenty more surprises and updates in store for Season 8.5. Stay tuned to our official announcements for more!
