What the patch brings
The store gets the Winter Soldier - Celestial Soldier bundle (with the Iris Nebula/Pipe Nebula chroma, ultimate VFX and an emoji bundle) and the Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls bundles for Storm and Iron Man, plus Storm's ultimate VFX. Everything appears October 30 at 02:00 UTC (Oct 29, 10:00 pm ET).
Only the Winter Soldier bundle has an official end date: November 27 at 02:00 UTC (Nov 26, 9:00 pm ET). For the rest, the notes do not say when they end.
The Halloween: Night of Illusions event runs October 29 to December 31, both at 09:00 UTC. We cover it all in our full patch breakdown and in everything arriving this week.
The fixes, one by one
- Gorr: he can no longer fly out of the map if he casts Shadow Harvest right after generating a Black Berserker.
- Rogue: fixed her left arm clipping through the cape on her X-Men '97 Season 2 costume when walking backwards.
- Black Cat: the overhead icon on her Fatal Weaver costume no longer disappears with the Team-Up with Spider-Man, and the Q key no longer triggers her ultimate's second phase if you rebound it.
- Invisible Woman: casting other abilities now breaks her stealth even if she entered it with Veiled Step.
- Times Square: if you entered a match from Times Square and clicked "One More Round", you can now return to Times Square.
- Store: the secondary navigation bar no longer slides off screen after completing all Pop & Wins.
- Moon Knight: in Blood Hunt, his Ankh build with no Traits no longer stops him from placing an Ankh.

The top replies to the announcement are not about the patch itself: they look ahead to Season 11. The two most-liked comments ask for big notes and changes for the new season, and the rest ask for Halloween store skins, like Jeff's pumpkin one.
