Marvel Rivals’ November 27 patch introduced the 18v18 Annihilation game mode.
Marvel Rivals Season 5 is now live, and the roadmap tells us when all the new characters, maps, events, and more are arriving in the game. However, the developers have released a brand-new patch to celebrate Marvel Rivals’ first anniversary. Along with the new mode, players also receive a new map, events, fixes, and more.
Marvel Rivals 18v18 Annihilation is a Domination Showdown
Unveiled through a new trailer, Marvel Rivals 18v18 Annihilation game mode will take place on a new map called Grand Garden, where players will participate in a Domination Showdown. The trailer reveals how chaotic this mode can get, with swarms of heroes piling up on both sides. At the same time, it also provides opportunities for players to take down waves of other players when timing their ultimates correctly. Check out the new trailer below:
Moreover, Marvel Rivals’ anniversary patch will introduce four new events, the return of Season 1 battle pass, Black Friday store discounts, new store items, and bug fixes. Check out the list of bug fixes below:
All Platforms
- Times Square Identity Crisis: Fixed an issue where players and nameplates might not match during Times Square interactions.
Heroes
- Gambit’s Wild Deck: Fixed an issue where the Ragin’ Cajun’s Healing Hearts deck detection range could misselect targets. Now, every card is a winning hand!
- Cloak & Dagger’s Dimensional Dilemma: Fixed a quirky issue where Cloak & Dagger could find themselves in a sticky situation during their Ultimate Ability, becoming unmovable in certain scenarios. Light and Dark are back in sync!
- Peni Parker’s Web Domain: Restored the unexpectedly lost speed boost to Peni’s Ultimate Ability and her Team-Up Ability’s Armored Spider-Nests. Her webs are back to web-slinging warp speed!
- Mister Fantastic’s Elastic Oddity: Fixed a bug causing Reed’s arms to occasionally not retract after using Distended Grip. Now, he always springs back ready for action. No more arm-stretching mishaps!
- Rocket Raccoon’s Beacon Bloopers: Corrected B.R.B. beacon throws that were instantly destroyed when tossed at certain angles and locations. Rocket’s gadgets now stick the landing!

- Peni Parker’s Trap Trouble: Fixed a bug where deploying Arachno-Mines flush against a wall could make them disappear into the scenery. Mines now stay visible, no sneaky surprises!
- Doctor Strange’s Cloak Chaos: Fixed some special cases where Stephen’s speed would behave abnormally while using his Cloak of Levitation. Sorcerer Supreme, back at normal…for him!
- Jeff the Land Shark’s Wall Slide: Addressed an issue where Jeff could unexpectedly slide off walls during Hide and Seek. Jeff’s got his grip back, no more surprise slip-offs
