Marvel Rivals July 23 Patch: New Map Thebes, Hela Skin and More

Marvel Rivals is soaring through Season 9, and a fresh patch will deliver several highly-anticipated updates. Here’s a quick recap of everything to expect before it goes live.

What’s In the Marvel Rivals July 23 Patch Notes?

These Marvel Rivals Patch Notes mostly focus on UI features, fresh cosmetics, and a new map (Thebes). There are a few bug fixes as well, but nothing too major. The game is also dropping a fresh Blood Hunt event, and esports fans can get excited for a new Twitch Drop with free loot. Let’s dive into a full summary!

New Marvel Rivals Map: Thebes

Marvel Rivals teased its new map earlier this month, but now, it’s finally arriving. Thebes is a Convoy map that takes players into an ancient Egyptian setting. It mixes crumbling temples with high-tech flair. The battleground includes a section with desert dunes, luxurious tomb-like chambers, the Temple of Khonshu, and the Pyramid of Apocalypse. Players will escort a payload across the map to its destination to win. Thebes will go live immediately after the update.

Marvel Rivals Blood Hunt Event

The Blood Hunt Event, where players vanquish vampires to get free items, will see some upgrades in the July 23 Patch. It has also been extended until mid-October, so it will get players in the Halloween spirit.

• Players can now enhance their existing Gear in Blood Hunt.
• Players can reroll their Gear stats in Blood Hunt’s Gear Refining feature.
• Enemies can now drop Dew of Insight rarely during combat. This can instantly raise any Hero’s EX.
• The Nightmare Difficulty cap is now Floor 300.
• Clearing Floor 260 of Nightmare Difficulty with any hero will reward you with 100 Units (Limit one reward per hero).

Esports Tab Subscriptions

Marvel Rivals is integrating its esports circuit into the game even further with an esports subscription option. Don’t worry, this is not a paid subscription. It just means that players can pick and subscribe to their favorite teams, players, and tournaments to follow them. This prompts notifications whenever a relevant event goes live.

The game is also adding a built-in calendar, so it’s easy to track tournament dates and plan watch time around that. You can access the Subscription feature through the game’s existing Esports tab.

Consort of Khonshu Hela Skin

Hela is stepping out in style with a new Consort of Khonshu skin. This cosmetic follows the current Season’s Egypt-inspired theme. Hela wears a linen two-piece with gold jewelry and strappy sandals. She also has a feathery headdress and large wings.

The Consort of Khonshu Hela Skin’s release date is on Thursday, July 23, 2026. The skin will drop at 7 PM PT. Here’s a quick time zone conversion for players in other locations:

• PT (Pacific): 7 PM
• CT (Central): 9 PM
• ET (Eastern): 10 PM
• Brazil: 11 PM
• BST (Britain): 3 AM July 24
• CEST (Central Europe): 4 AM July 25

Pinned Butterfly Psylocke Skin

Both skin releases are premium items in the in-game Store, which players can buy with real-world money.

New Marvel Rivals Mid-Season Twitch Drops

Marvel Rivals players can pick up fresh Twitch drops for the Mid-Season Finals. These items are completely free to get; all you have to do is connect your account to Twitch and rack up watch time.
