Marvel Rivals patch 20260716 adds Van Dyne Couture event and Season 3 Battle Pass rerun

Marvel Rivals version 20260716 drops on July 16th, 2026 at 09:00 UTC — no server downtime, so you can jump straight in. The headline additions are a new limited-time event, a returning Battle Pass, and a fresh wave of store cosmetics.

The Van Dyne Couture event runs from July 16th to August 13th and lets you earn Magneto's Magnetic Vintage costume and related bundle rewards for free by completing event missions. Unlocking the premium track adds Adam Warlock's Tailored Perfection costume and Invisible Woman's Baxter Building Beauty costume. On the store side, a Devil Dinosaur – Jeff the Dinosaur skin arrives alongside Hawkeye's Bed-Stuy's Best Bundle, Gambit's Dead Man's Hand Bundle, and various Chroma variants — most going live July 17th at 02:00 UTC and running through August 14th. The POP & WIN event also features the Devil Dinosaur – Jeff the Dinosaur skin on the same schedule. The Season 3 Battle Pass, Power of the Phoenix, returns for a limited rerun purchasable at the Battle Pass Nexus - Reality Link Point from July 16th to July 30th. The Chrono-Rush event is also coming back for the weekend and will run until the season ends.

Marvel Rivals is NetEase's hero shooter built around the Marvel universe, and cosmetic events tied to fashion or pop-culture themes have been a recurring part of its seasonal cadence since launch. The Van Dyne Couture event leans into Janet Van Dyne's in-universe identity as a fashion designer, giving the cosmetic drop some narrative flavour beyond a standard store rotation.

On the bug-fix side, the patch addresses a Practice Range issue where bots kept moving even after target movement was disabled, and fixes a camera animation glitch on the Storm and Thor Gods of Thunder Team-Up Ability that was throwing off player aim. NetEase also notes visual effect optimizations across multiple heroes to reduce battlefield clutter, though the full list was cut off in the patch notes.
