has been given a new update on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.

The May 15 Rivals update brings back the , and also introduces the new Galacta's Gift rewards event. The Galacta's Gift event launches to celebrate the one year anniversary of the Marvel Rivals closed alpha test. As part of the event, players can earn Nameplates, Sprays, Chrono Shield Cards and a Costume Coin simply by playing the game.

Likewise, the Season 0 Battle Pass can be purchased from the store for 590 Lattice, which for PlayStation users, means spending £3.99 on 500 Lattice and an additional £0.79 on 100 Lattice.

The Battle Pass is available for the next two weeks, but once you purchase it, there's no time limit on unlocking the rewards.

Elsewhere, the new update adds features such as the Ban/Pick setting for Tournament. Developer NetEase explains more: "In this mode, both teams take turns banishing heroes in a specific order, while also locking in their own heroes."

Needless to say, the May 15 update includes multiple bug fixes and balance changes for various characters, maps and modes.

As you can see from the patch notes below, the sound effect for Mister Fantastic's Ultimate Ability has been fixed, alongside a fix for a bug with Adam Warlock's Ultimate.

Fixes

All Platforms

System & Features

• Resolved a problem where, after switching the Voiceover Language while not in a match and restarting the game, the selected language sometimes wouldn't switch correctly.

• Addressed a mix-up in the Custom Game - Tournament Room spectator view where, after switching sides, the team names in the lower-left corner were displayed in reverse order.

Maps and Modes

• Patched various voids in the Krakoa and Klyntar maps that could trap players.

Heroes

• Fantastic Frequencies Fixed: We've tuned up an audio error where, when Mister Fantastic unleashed his Ultimate Ability while in the inflated state, the sound effect for returning to his normal state would play during the ultimate period.

• Venom's Aerial Antics: Fixed an issue where our favorite symbiote could sometimes find himself stuck in mid-air on certain maps. Venom is now free to swing and dive like a true anti-hero.

• Adam Warlock's Ultimate Troubles: Fixed a bug where the orb from Adam's Ultimate Ability would hang around in certain areas of Krakoa longer than it should. The golden glow will now inevitably fade.

• Hulk's High Jump Hiccup: Smashed an issue, where under specific conditions, Hulk could find himself stuck in a jump state when using Incredible Leap. The Green Goliath can leap with the grace of a true Avenger, landing where he means to!

• Doctor Strange's Portal Predicament: Fixed an issue where placing Strange's portals in Recursive Destruction zones could force them to vanish. He can open portals without worrying about them disappearing faster than Dormammu can hatch his next doom-laden scheme in the Dark Dimension!

• The Thing's Yancy Street Shuffle: We've tackled an issue where, when using his Yancy Street Charge ability, The Thing would sometimes find himself moving to distant locations. He'll stomp on the streets without unintended detours!
