Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals continues to capture attention across the gaming community with its fast-paced, team-based combat, cinematic visuals, and a growing roster of iconic Marvel heroes. The game’s live-service model keeps players engaged through regular seasonal updates, balance patches, and eye-catching character skins. One popular feature has been the inclusion of redeemable bundle codes that unlock exclusive cosmetics—like the now-expired Armor Model 42 skin for Iron Man.

However, as of Patch 20250327, there are currently no active bundle codes available. While the redemption system remains accessible via the in-game options menu under “Bundle Code,” all previously available codes have expired. That said, the feature isn’t gone for good—Marvel Rivals has a track record of dropping new promo codes during Twitch Drops campaigns, social media promotions, and crossover events. Players are encouraged to stay connected to official channels for future code releases and timed rewards.

Marvel Rivals Patch 20250327 Brings Galacta’s Quest and Key Hero Fixes

Marvel Rivals

Marvel Rivals’ latest patch, version 20250327, just dropped—and while it didn’t require any downtime, it still brings a surprising amount of new content, including a mysterious Galacta-themed Easter egg and several targeted hero balance updates that could shake up the current meta.

Galacta’s Quest Easter Egg: What We Know

One of the most intriguing additions in this patch is a new Easter egg referred to internally as “Galacta’s Quest.” While not a full game mode or mission yet, players have discovered early hints and environmental clues pointing to Galacta’s arrival. Some fans speculate this could lead into Season 2’s narrative arc or an upcoming limited-time event.

Right now, this “quest” seems to be more of a scavenger hunt embedded in maps—players have reported spotting unique cosmic graffiti, glowing fragments, and audio snippets referencing Galacta’s presence. Dataminers are already digging through the files to see what it might unlock in the future.

Hero Fixes and Balance Updates

Alongside the Easter egg, Patch 20250327 focuses heavily on hero performance tuning. Several characters received subtle but important tweaks designed to make matches more dynamic and fair across all modes.

Notable Hero Adjustments:

  • Scarlet Witch: Her cooldowns have been slightly increased to balance her high burst potential in close-range encounters. The change is intended to reduce her steamrolling ability in mid-tier competitive matches.
  • Storm: Her lightning-based ultimate received a visual clarity pass, making it easier for teammates to distinguish targeting zones in fast-paced skirmishes.
  • Rocket Raccoon: A long-requested fix was added to improve the accuracy of his deployable turrets, especially when placed on uneven terrain.
  • Hela: Her healing-over-time aura was nerfed slightly, reducing sustain during prolonged team fights, particularly in 4v4 and 5v5 modes.
  • Iron Man: A bug was fixed that previously allowed his Armor Model 42 skin to improperly clip through certain map elements—no more immersion-breaking shoulder pads.

These changes seem to be part of NetEase’s broader strategy to refine hero interactions and give underused characters more room to shine while keeping dominant picks in check.

No Downtime, Seamless Update

One major win with this patch: players didn’t have to sit through any downtime. The update rolled out quietly on March 27 and was active immediately once you logged in. This continues Marvel Rivals’ trend of delivering content efficiently and without disrupting players’ schedules—a welcome change from games that require extended maintenance windows.

Looking Ahead

With Galacta now on the radar and several balance tweaks making the rounds, players are already speculating about what this all means for the next phase of the game. Will we see Galacta as a playable character in Season 2? Is this Easter egg the start of a full storyline event? And how will the hero fixes affect competitive play and Twitch showdowns over the next few weeks?

Other Marvel Rivals News

Venom’s New Twerk Emote Sparks Fan Reactions

One of the more surprising additions teased for an upcoming cosmetic update is a new emote for Venom—featuring the symbiote anti-hero breaking into a twerk. The emote will be part of a flashy “Hyper Orange” skin bundle, which has already generated a mix of humor and hype in the community. The developers seem to be leaning into Venom’s larger-than-life persona and meme potential with this tongue-in-cheek addition. Expect the emote to be part of a paid bundle rather than a code-based reward.

Invisible Woman Surges in Popularity

Invisible Woman has quickly become one of the breakout stars of the current season. Following the release of her Malice skin, interest in the character spiked dramatically—with developers confirming a 3000% increase in player searches and social media engagement. The team attributes part of her popularity to strong character design and her unique powers, which blend stealth and utility in creative ways. Expect her role in competitive matches to continue growing.

RAM Optimization Incoming for PC Players

Following feedback from the community, the Marvel Rivals development team has acknowledged high RAM usage on PC as a major issue—particularly for players running systems with less than 32GB of memory. While Patch 20250327 did not directly address the issue, the developers confirmed that an upcoming patch will include performance optimizations to reduce memory load, improve stability, and boost frame rates on mid-tier hardware.

Season 2 Character Leaks: Blade and Ultron on the Horizon?

Leaked data and early test server reports suggest that Blade and Ultron could be joining the Marvel Rivals roster in Season 2. Blade is rumored to come with vampiric mechanics and life-draining abilities, while Ultron may bring tech-based control and drone deployment to the battlefield. These potential additions could introduce new playstyles and strategies, offering even more variety for fans of support and hybrid roles.

Key Takeaways

  • There are no currently active Marvel Rivals bundle codes.
  • Players can still access the code redemption feature in the settings menu for future use.
  • More promotional codes may return during future events or seasonal updates.

How Marvel Rivals Has Used Bundle Codes

Marvel Rivals has previously rewarded players with bundle codes for exclusive skins, nameplates, sprays, and currency. For example, the now-expired Iron Man: Armor Model 42 skin was redeemable via a limited-time code. These rewards were a great way for players to personalize their heroes and enjoy exclusive cosmetics.

Why There Are No Codes Right Now

According to the latest updates, all previously released bundle codes—such as the Iron Man Armor Model 42 skin—have expired, with no new codes announced. This may be due to Marvel Rivals focusing on other in-game promotions like shop bundles, seasonal content, or Twitch Drops.

Where Future Codes Might Appear

Players can expect future bundle codes to appear on official Marvel Rivals social media pages, Discord servers, and during live events. Past promotions have also come through Twitch Drops, limited-time brand partnerships, and in-game announcements.

  • Official Marvel Rivals Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok
  • Community events on Discord
  • Game update livestreams and patch notes
  • Brand collaborations and promotional campaigns

As of now, there is no timeline for when the next round of bundle codes will go live, but the system is clearly designed to support future drops. Players should stay tuned and follow official accounts to be the first to know when new codes become available.
