Marvel Rivals releases a patch notes for its upcoming October 10 update, which adds the highly anticipated hero, Daredevil. Season 4, known as Heart of the Dragon is rapidly approaching its midseason, which means Marvel Rivals players are about to see a big refresh of content, including the appearance of the “Man Without Fear.”
Season 4 of Marvel Rivals introduced an Angels and Devils theme to the popular hero shooter, highlighting the Asgardian Angela battling a demonic looking Daredevil. The Vanguard Angela led off the season, adding the first tank character with the ability to fly. The first half of the season also brought with it new limited-time events, a new map set in K-un Lun, as well as a second set of beachwear themed cosmetics for various characters. Now, Marvel Rivals is preparing to unleash its second phase of Season 4.
The patch notes for the Season 4.5 update have finally arrived, and while NetEase gave fans a sneak peek at the new Marvel Rivals seasonal content last week, they’re now able to see all the details in full. Naturally, the biggest piece of this update is the arrival of Daredevil as a playable character, though for those who want more, there will be a Devil 2099 bundle inside the in-game shop as well. Daredevil joins the roster as a Duelist character, who also takes on a demonic twist with NetEase’s take on the Marvel character.
Alongside Daredevil, Marvel Rivals is kicking off the Jade Scrolls of K’un-Lun event, where players can complete missions and unlock rewards like Black & Gold Spider-Man and Psylocke’s Fleeting Butterfly skin. Players can also unlock Storm’s free Judicator XieZhi costume as well. Marvel Rivals is also allowing players to switch their Home Background as well as the ability to change their voices using a new system. Alongside various bugs and optimizations, the Season 4.5 update also adds new rank rewards for Marvel Rivals players to earn, including the Shenloong’s Creed costume for Daredevil, nameplate frames, and much more.
For those who want even more Daredevil content, players may be able to score a free skin, but there’s a slight catch. Marvel Rivals may be giving players a free Daredevil skin, though it appears that the offer will only be for Disney+ subscribers who live in the United States. According to the leak, the skin itself appears to be a recolor for Daredevil, giving him a blue look and will be available from October 10 to January 8. For those who may not qualify for the free skin, it is expected to be available for 600 units as well.
