Marvel Rivals' Version 20260820 patch is live — and it arrived with zero downtime. The update rolled out on August 20 at 09:00 UTC (2:00 AM PT) and delivers three new store bundles, headlined by Daredevil's Attorney at Law outfit and a pair of Hellfire Gala costumes for Cyclops and Phoenix, alongside targeted fixes for Loki and Hela.
The bundles hit the in-game store on August 21 at 02:00 UTC (7:00 PM PT on August 20). Here's everything in the patch, when each item is available, and what's still coming before Season 10.
New Store Bundles
Three bundles arrive with this update, and two of them are limited-time Hellfire Gala releases:
| Bundle | Availability |
|---|---|
| Cyclops — Elegant Eye Bundle | Aug 21 — Sep 18 (UTC) |
| Phoenix — Viridian Vogue Bundle | Aug 21 — Sep 18 (UTC) |
| Daredevil — Attorney at Law Bundle | From Aug 21 (UTC); no announced end date |
The Elegant Eye and Viridian Vogue bundles run from August 21, 02:00 UTC through September 18, 02:00 UTC — that's 7:00 PM PT on August 20 to 7:00 PM PT on September 17 — giving players nearly a month to grab them. Both are Hellfire Gala looks, the Marvel universe's annual mutant red-carpet event where the X-Men dress to the nines and political alliances get made on the dance floor. Cyclops and Phoenix trading their usual uniforms for formalwear is a big part of the season's X-Men-themed content push, which will keep building right up to the X-Men '97 Season 2 collaboration costume expected on September 4.
The Attorney at Law bundle, meanwhile, dresses Matt Murdock in his courtroom persona. The official notes only list a start time — August 21 at 02:00 UTC (7:00 PM PT on August 20) — with no announced end date, so it may behave like a permanent store addition rather than a limited-time offer.
Official patch notes don't list USD pricing for any of the three bundles — costs are set in-game, so check the store for exact amounts. As with recent releases, bundles may use the PYO (Pick Your Own) format introduced in Season 9.5, which adjusts the final price based on exactly which costume pieces, chromas, and emotes you include.
Hero Fixes
The update is light on gameplay changes — there are no balance adjustments in this patch — but it squashes two notable hero bugs:
Loki's Twisted Team-Up. Lady Loki's lower-body animations would contort when using the Hela Team-Up Ability (Villain's Illusion). The Goddess of Mischief's posture is now working as intended.
Hela's Zero-G Stall. Hela could become paralyzed in place when casting Astral Flock after rising in Thoth's Wrath zones on the Wakanda maps. She now soars through the skies of Wakanda unhindered.
With no hero tuning in Version 20260820, the ranked meta stays exactly where Season 9.5 left it — the last balance pass (Wolverine, Moon Knight, and Peni Parker adjustments) shipped with the August 7 season launch.
What's Next in Season 9.5
Version 20260820 is a mid-season content beat in Season 9.5, which began August 7 with the arrival of Vanguard hero The Hood and the Creed of Akkaba event. The season's weekly rollout continues:
- August 28: Peni Parker — Van Dyne Designs, Squirrel Girl — Queen of Hell, and Cloak Clan Akkaba cosmetics
- September 4: X-Men '97 Season 2 collaboration costume and Ultron — Street Style
- September 11: Season 10.0 teaser, wrapping up the Season 9.5 content window
Meanwhile, the Summer Finale '26 festival — Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 fishing, Summer Snapshot photo spots, and the Pop & Win lucky draw at Hellfire Bay Beach — runs through September 24, so there's a steady stream of free cosmetics to collect alongside the new store drops.
What to Do This Week
- Grab the Hellfire Gala bundles early. Cyclops' Elegant Eye and Phoenix's Viridian Vogue leave the store on September 18 — if either is on your list, there's no rush, but don't wait past mid-September.
- Decide on Daredevil's Attorney at Law. With no announced end date, it's lower-pressure than the limited-time bundles, but bundle prices are often cheaper than buying pieces individually.
- Keep the Summer Finale dailies running. Free costume progress from Krakoan Reels Vol. 2 doesn't care about store rotations — fish daily while the event is up.
- Watch August 28. The next content wave (Peni Parker, Squirrel Girl, Cloak Clan Akkaba) lands in a week, and the X-Men '97 Season 2 collaboration follows on September 4.
With the Season 9.5 window closing in mid-September and the Summer Finale wrapping up on September 24, this week's store refresh is a quiet beat between two bigger waves — but for Daredevil and Hellfire Gala fans, it's the one to bookmark.
