Player Impact
The patch is mostly a stability and quality-of-life update, but it also adds new cosmetic purchases and a limited-time event. Players using Gorr, Rogue, Black Cat, Invisible Woman, or Moon Knight should notice fixes to specific bugs affecting movement, visuals, keybind behavior, stealth interactions, and Ankh placement. Players who use Times Square as an entry point should also no longer hit the return issue after a match.
For event players, Night of Illusions offers a new limited-time activity with puzzle-solving and rewards. The store additions are available on the listed dates, so players interested in the new bundles and VFX will want to check the timing carefully.
