- The Marvel Rivals June 5 update brings Ultron's Battle Matrix event to the game alongside map fixes and more.
- The experimental event will kick off on June 6 and will remain available until June 23.
- Players who log into the event before it exits the game can claim a free Tic-Tac-Toe Spray.
A brand-new update for Marvel Rivals is en route, bringing gameplay optimizations and fixes to the title, alongside the new Ultron’s Battle Matrix Protocol event. The event follows up on the release of the Avengers villain as a playable character with a dedicated game mode themed around his strategic mastery.
You can learn everything about the Marvel Rivals Battle Matrix event in our comprehensive guide. But essentially, the event is an auto-chess mode akin to Teamfight Tactics and Dota, which sees players deploy Marvel heroes as units on a checkered board. The character selection in the event will be limited, and each hero will serve a specific role in the mode’s round-based, point-elimination format.
Beyond the auto-chess elements, players will also need to manage an in-game economy and use currencies to purchase the best synergies for their units. There’s also a multiplier system in play, just like TFT, which can enhance a character’s capabilities.
If you’re eager to test it out, the Battle Matrix event kicks off on June 6 and comes to an end on June 23rd. The devs have added some extra encouragement in the form of a limited-time Tic-Tac-Toe Spray that can be claimed by logging into the event. As for the other new features in the update, check out the full patch notes below:
