- The latest Marvel Rivals update is scheduled for August 28 at 9 AM UTC.
- It will introduce a brand-new event titled Chrono Storm.
- The update will address issues tied to Blade and Adam Warlock.
A brand-new Marvel Rivals patch is currently being rolled out across all platforms, bringing a couple of Hero fixes to the game. For starters, Adam Warlock’s Ultimate Ability failed to grant bonus health if the character was KO’d — this issue has now been fixed. Similarly, Blade wasn’t receiving the Healing Over Time effects in some cases, all of which have now been corrected. Aside from these fixes, the patch introduces the Chrono Storm event, doubling the rate of Chrono Tokens earned from completing missions and challenges. For a look at the changes, check out the full Marvel Rivals August 28 patch notes below.
Will There Be a Downtime for Today’s Marvel Rivals Update?
Smaller patches, such as the August 28 update, don’t require downtime. This means that players simply need to update the game client, and then jump in to check out the content — no downtime needed. Downtime and lengthy server queues typically occur for larger seasonal updates, such as the release of Season 3.5.

Maps & Modes
Fixed an issue in the Throne of Knull map, where dynamic Symbiote changes could trap heroes in abnormal terrain.
Heroes
