What Version 20260813 brings
The update adds several shop items, three summer events, new animations for the Lady Loki outfits, and a range of visual and technical adjustments.
The clearest addition is the schedule. Storm’s bundle stays available for nearly a month, while Loki’s limited return ends sooner. Summer Snapshot will let players collect 100 Units after sharing a photo taken in the new beach locations.
The notes do not confirm any new hero, new map or new mode. They also give no exact price for Pop & Win and no information about a beta, DLC, or Game Pass and PS Plus availability.
Storm, Loki and the summer event calendar
The Storm - Sacred Skies Bundle will be available from August 13, 2026 at 09:00 UTC to September 11, 2026 at 09:00 UTC. Its window covers almost the entire month.
The limited return of the Loki - Lady Loki Bundle begins on August 13 at 09:00 UTC and ends on August 28 at 02:00 UTC. It will therefore leave the shop before Storm’s bundle.
Krakoan Reels Vol. 2, Summer Snapshot and Pop & Win share a longer period, from August 13 at 09:00 UTC to September 24 at 09:00 UTC. The official page confirms those dates but does not provide every reward or the complete conditions for Pop & Win.
All times are given in UTC rather than local time. Players following shop rotations or limited rewards will need to convert the start and end times for their region.
New animations and shop details
Summer Snapshot offers the most clearly defined activity. Players must share a photo taken in the new beach locations to receive 100 Units. The notes do not explain the sharing requirements in greater detail.
The shop additions have different availability windows: Storm remains available longer, while Lady Loki returns briefly. No prices, discounts or percentages are listed, so the announcement does not support buying advice until the in-game prices are displayed.
The Lady Loki outfits receive new movement and combat animations enabled by default. Players who prefer the classic animations can switch back to the previous behavior through the outfit interface. The setting changes presentation, not any confirmed balance values.
Jeff the Land Shark should automatically switch to a swimming animation in the deep waters of Hellfire Bay Beach. This is an environment- and animation-related adjustment, not an announced new game mode.
A seasonal refresh rather than a gameplay overhaul
Version 20260813 is best understood as a seasonal refresh for a live-service game. A new hero, map or mode would directly change how Marvel Rivals is played; this update instead prioritizes event rotations, outfits and presentation details. That reading remains an analysis, since the official page gives no broader schedule for what follows.
For active players, the practical priority is to track the launch time and the closing dates, especially for the Loki bundle and Summer Snapshot. Players seeking Units have a defined activity to complete, while anyone waiting for a major gameplay change should keep expectations measured. The update maintains activity between larger announcements without confirming when those will arrive.
What the notes do not say about platforms and co-op
The patch notes detail no changes to co-op, crossplay or platforms. They also give no specific availability information for this version, so the update should not be presented as an announcement tied to a particular console.
The firm detail is the general rollout scheduled for August 13 at 09:00 UTC. The publication mentions no server downtime and provides no platform-specific technical procedure. For the wider news cycle, visit the news section, then return to the UTC schedule before starting your session.
Fixes for heroes, effects and accessibility
The abnormal movement of Iron Fist during his ultimate is due to be corrected. The update also addresses a text display issue caused by Rogue’s ability theft. These changes do not officially alter character statistics, but they should make affected situations easier to read.
Iron Fist also receives a fix for a VFX conflict with the effects of the White Fox Team-Up. The notes mention several emotes being used in areas outside combat, and they include a fix for accessibility settings not saving.
Finally, highlight projections of Captain America: The Winter Soldier gain English and Chinese subtitles. This is an accessibility and presentation change rather than a combat adjustment. Overall, NetEase gives event presentation and visible bugs similar weight in this update.
Players waiting for a meta change will find limited information here. The notes cover behavior, animation, display and accessibility fixes, but do not announce a balance overhaul or new competitive content.
Questions still open
- Will Pop & Win receive more details? The event and its dates are confirmed, but its price, rewards and conditions are not.
- Will Marvel Rivals receive a broader roadmap? The notes list summer deadlines but provide no official schedule beyond September 24.
- Will platforms and co-op be covered separately? Version 20260813 gives no details on those points.
For now, the useful takeaway is concrete: mark August 13 at 09:00 UTC, note the different Storm and Loki availability windows, and complete Summer Snapshot before its period ends. For upcoming announcements and their impact on the community, check our gaming articles.
