New Event: Night of Illusions
A mysterious man, obsessed with an unknown witch, mistook the number "4" on her person for her true name. Driven by this obsession, he attempts to sacrifice four "monsters" to complete a summoning ritual. A small animal, an ancient beast, and an old friend fall victim one after another. But Elsa Bloodstone, driven by her monster-hunting instincts, enters this eerie house and begins to uncover the horrifying truth behind this Night of Illusions...

Fixes and Optimizations
Heroes
Gorr the God Butcher
Fixed an issue where Gorr could occasionally fly off the map if he used Shadow Harvest immediately after summoning a Black Berserker. The God Butcher will now remain strictly within the arena boundaries.
Rogue
Fixed a model issue with the X-Men '97 Season 2 costume where Rogue's left arm would clip through her cape while walking backward. Sugar's outfit once again looks flawless.
Black Cat
Fixed an issue where the icon above the Fatal Weaver costume would disappear when using the team ability Binding Ties with Spider-Man. Also fixed an issue that allowed activating the second phase of the Ultimate ability with the Q key, even if the player had assigned the Ultimate ability to a different key.
Invisible Woman
Fixed an issue where using other abilities did not always remove invisibility if it was activated via Veiled Step. Even Sue knows that one cannot stay in the shadows forever!
Maps
- Times Square: Fixed an issue where players who started a match from Times Square and clicked "One More Round" on the post-match summary screen could not return to Times Square after the next match ended.
Miscellaneous
- Shop: Fixed a UI visual bug where, after all Pop & Wins were completed, the secondary navigation panel would shift left and go off-screen if no subtitle was set under the shop header.
- Moon Knight: Fixed a bug in Blood Hunt mode where equipping a build with Ankh without any traits sometimes prevented placing the Ankh in-game. Khonshu's avatar can now safely bestow its gifts.
