Marvel Rivals season three patch notes

Here’s a full breakdown of everything we know about season three so far. As new details are shared, we’ll add them here, so you can check back to stay up to date with all of the latest patch notes information.

New hero: Phoenix

Phoenix is soaring onto the battlefield as a ranged Duelist with a fiery new skillset. She wields the immense power of the Phoenix Force, has a unique chain reaction mechanic, clears away enemy summons, and much more.

Season 3 battle pass – New costumes

While the full contents of the battle pass for season three will be revealed soon, the Dev Visions video teased the battle pass screen with Venomized/Symbiote skins for Rocket Raccoon, Jeff the Landshark, and Squirrel Girl, along with a Phoenix Force skin for Emma Frost.

Several other new skins were teased, like Knullified Hela, Blade’s half symbiote/half Phoenix Force skin, along with Phoenix Force skins for Magik and Wolverine, but it’s unknown if those will be in the pass or found in the shop.

New Team-Ups

Two new Team-Ups are being added to the available collaborations you can use. These Team-Ups are:

• Primal Flame – Phoenix and Wolverine
  • Phoenix is the anchor of this Team-Up, as she infuses Wolverine with the Phoenix Force. When Wolverine uses his Feral Leap, this force is activated to burn nearby enemies over time. It also adds Lifesteal to all of Wolverine’s attacks.
• Ever-Burning Bond – Human Torch and Spider-Man
  • Human Torch acts as the anchor, channeling his fiery abilities into a special gadget for Spider-Man. Spider-Man can use this device to shoot a flaming web that deals damage and activates a special Burn-Tracer. He can then use his Get Over Here! move to zip to the target and cause a small explosion for additional burn damage,

Team-Up changes

There are also some adjustments to existing Team-Ups. Hela is joining in on the Symbotite Shenanigans with Venom and Jeff the Land Shark. Squirrel Girl is aligning herself with Ultron and Iron Man in Stark Protocol.

Storming Ignition, with Storm and Human Torch, and ESU Alumnus, with Squirrel Girl and Spider-Man, will be retired in season three as most of these heroes move on to fresh Team-Ups. The Guardian Revival Team-Up will remain, but it’s being slightly nerfed.

New map: Klyntar

A fresh battleground is emerging in season three. This map is Klyntar: Celestial Husk, a new location that has similar Symbiote vibes to the already existing Klyntar: Symbiotic Surface map.
