Marvel Rivals has received its 29 October 2026 patch, adding the Night of Illusions event alongside new in-game store content and fixes for hero abilities, map behavior and the user interface. The update is relevant to players in the Philippines because the event runs through the end of December, giving players a defined window to claim its limited-time rewards.
Night of Illusions runs until 31 December
The Night of Illusions event is scheduled to run from 29 October to 31 December 2026. According to IGN's breakdown of the patch, the event sends players through five mysterious rooms containing puzzles. Completing the event can provide limited-time rewards, including Gallery Cards, Units and Sprays.
The published event details identify the following structure and reward categories:
- Five rooms to explore
- Puzzles connected to the event
- Limited-time Gallery Cards
- Units
- Sprays
The schedule uses the same dates for players in the Philippines unless an in-game display specifies a different local-time cutoff.
New store content is dated from 30 October
The patch also adds several items to the in-game store. The listed content is scheduled for the period from 30 October to 27 November 2026, with bundles and cosmetic effects tied to Marvel characters and the fighting game Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls.

Hero and map issues addressed
Several fixes target individual heroes. Gorr can no longer occasionally fly completely out of the map when Shadow Harvest is cast immediately after generating a Black Berserker. The update also corrects a clipping problem affecting Rogue's X-Men '97 Season 2 costume, where her left arm could pass through the cape while she walked backward.
Black Cat receives multiple corrections. The overhead icon for the Fatal Weaver costume should no longer disappear when the hero uses the Binding Ties Team-Up ability with Spider-Man. The patch also fixes a problem that allowed the second phase of Black Cat's Ultimate Ability to be activated with the “Q” key even when the Ultimate Ability had been assigned to another key. In addition, abilities cast after entering stealth through Veiled Step should now properly break that stealth.
A map-related issue involving Times Square has also been addressed. Players who entered a game from Times Square and selected “One More Round” on the post-match summary screen could be unable to return to Times Square after the next match ended. The update is intended to correct that behavior.
Interface and mode fixes
The patch fixes a Store interface problem in which the secondary navigation bar could shift left and move outside the screen after all Pop & Wins were completed, if no subtitle appeared below the Store title.
For players in the Philippines, the key dates are the Night of Illusions period from 29 October through 31 December 2026 and the listed store-content window from 30 October through 27 November 2026. Marvel Rivals players can use those dates to distinguish the event's longer reward period from the shorter availability window attached to the new store additions.
