Marvel Rivals season 6.5 patch notes – Elsa Bloodstone, new Team-Up abilities, and more

Love is in the air, and so is a new Marvel Rivals update.

Elsa Bloodstone is the highlight of the new patch, joining the game as a Duelist hero who brings her monster-hunting skills to the battle to disrupt the enemy’s front line and even summon a monster to destroy anything in its path.

While the bulk of the notes are incoming, here’s everything we know so far about the new Marvel Rivals update coming on Valentine’s weekend when it arrives on Feb. 13.
