Marvel Rivals Version 20260723 Adds Thebes and VFX Toggle
NetEase Games deployed Marvel Rivals Version 20260723 on July 23, 2026, at 09:00 UTC without scheduled server downtime.
News summary
Thebes joins the map pool with Apocalypse's Pyramid and the Temple of Khonshu facing across dunes, oases, ancient ruins, and Celestial machinery.
The Esports tab now supports subscriptions for tournaments, teams, and pro players, plus a calendar, standings, brackets, records, and live-match alerts.
Blood Hunt adds Gear Enhancement, Gear Refining, Dew of Insight, and a Nightmare Difficulty ceiling of Floor 300; clearing Floor 260 awards 100 Units once per hero.
A new Team-Up visual-effects option can hide those effects on the player's screen either globally or through individual hero settings.
Update overview
NetEase Games frames Thebes around a conflict between Apocalypse's Pyramid and Khonshu's temple. The patch also turns the Esports tab into a tracking hub, allowing players to follow selected competitions and receive an alert when a subscribed match begins.
Blood Hunt progression now supports upgrading existing gear and rerolling selected stats. Dew of Insight grants an immediate EX burst to a chosen hero, while Nightmare Difficulty extends to Floor 300 and places the 100-Unit reward at Floor 260.
The Blood Hunt Double XP period now ends October 5 at 09:00 UTC, and the mode remains available until October 9 at the same time. The player-side Team-Up setting changes only personal presentation; teammates and opponents continue to see the effects normally.
