TL;DR
Marvel Rivals’ September 17, 2026 patch adds new Moon Knight story content, new store items, new events, and gifting for PYO Bundles. It also includes a balance adjustment to Scarlet Witch and several bug fixes and cosmetic polish updates.
What Changed
- New story content: Moon Knight Lore – New Moon Rising.
- New store content:
- Moon Knight – Eternity Knight Bundle
- Jeff the Land Shark – Jeff-Pool costume chroma: Gwenpool
- Rogue & Gambit – X-Men ’97 Season 2 MVP: Sugah
- MVPs are now officially live and have been added to their respective bundles, with bundle prices remaining unchanged.
- Players who already owned everything in the corresponding bundles will automatically receive the matching MVPs for free.
- Pop & Win spotlights Jubilee’s Vampy Jammies and Magneto’s Master of Slumber for a discounted chance to obtain them.
- New events:
- Jeff’s Dream Eater
- Jeff’s Superstar Search
- PYO Bundles now support Gifting. Gifts are purchased using Lattice, and the price adjusts based on selected cosmetics and what the recipient already owns.
- Balance adjustment: the probability of Scarlet Witch being immune to incoming damage during Reality Erasure (Ultimate Ability) wind-up was significantly reduced.
- Fixes and optimizations:
- Fixed a Clone Rumble issue where players could not switch Team-Ups when randomized as Deadpool.
- Fixed a missing texture issue with Jeff the Land Shark’s Ducky Dip emote.
- Fixed a visual inconsistency for Peni Parker’s Liquid Shell costume portrait.
- Fixed a teeth texture display issue on Doctor Strange’s Astral Arcana costume.
- Fixed an audio issue with Emma Frost’s Psychic Spear while wearing Glittering Goddess.
Player Impact
Players get new story, store, and event content immediately when the patch goes live, with no server downtime announced. The Scarlet Witch adjustment may make her Ultimate less likely to ignore incoming damage during its wind-up, which could matter in fights where timing that ability is important.
The new gifting support for PYO Bundles changes how those bundles can be purchased and shared, since pricing now adjusts based on the cosmetics selected and the recipient’s existing ownership. Players who already completed the relevant bundles will automatically receive the matching MVPs for free.
The listed fixes mainly address gameplay flow, visual presentation, and audio consistency rather than changing core combat systems.
