Marvel Rivals 20260924: God Quarry Domination map and Galacta’s Gift Vol.3
NetEase dropped Marvel Rivals Version 20260924 on 24 September 2026 at 09:00:00 UTC with no server downtime — patch and play. The headline beat is a new Domination map, God Quarry, plus a limited Quick Match window that puts that map alone in the queue. The same build returns Costume Coin through Galacta’s Gift Vol.3, loads a large limited costume batch into the Exchange Store, and starts the clock on new Mantis and Daredevil store bundles while the LAST SPLASH swimsuit line begins its exit in two waves.

New map: God Quarry
NetEase frames God Quarry through Gorr’s campaign against the gods. Official copy: the God Butcher twisted Omnipotence City — the hallowed parliament of pantheons — into a roving citadel of despair, then crashed it into the Cradle of Creation. That nexus, which exists in a dimension beyond space and time to chronicle heroes’ triumphs, now teeters on the precipice of the Abyss. The sacred halls where deities once whispered dying confessions become the epicenter of their annihilation as the Godbomb edges closer to completion. Gorr’s vision of an era belonging strictly to mortals appears one step away — and the God Butcher never expected his final obstacle to be the very mortals he claims to fight for.
God Quarry ships as a Domination map. After the update, a limited-time Quick Match mode solely for this new map is also available.
| Mode | Period (UTC) |
|---|---|
| God Quarry-only Quick Match | 24 Sep 2026 09:00:00 – 29 Sep 2026 08:59:00 |
NetEase does not publish Domination point counts, spawn layouts, or balance notes for the map in this patch post. Softcap does not invent them.
Galacta’s Gift Vol.3
Costume Coin returns. The Exchange Store receives a massive update that adds a large batch of costumes for a limited time. NetEase does not list every costume SKU in the Version 20260924 post — only that the batch is large and time-limited inside the event window.
| Event | Period (UTC) |
|---|---|
| Galacta’s Gift Vol.3 | 24 Sep 2026 09:00:00 – 13 Nov 2026 09:00:00 |
New in store
Two limited bundles headline the store pass, with additional skins and cosmetics unlocking on the same start stamp.
Limited bundles (25 Sep – 23 Oct)
| Bundle | Window (UTC) |
|---|---|
| Mantis — Morning Dew Bundle | 25 Sep 2026 02:00:00 – 23 Oct 2026 02:00:00 |
| Daredevil — Dare-Dragon Bundle | 25 Sep 2026 02:00:00 – 23 Oct 2026 02:00:00 |
Also available from 25 Sep 02:00 UTC
- Thor — King Thor Bundle
- Morning Dew — Emoji Bundle
- Mantis — Morning Dew Chroma Dreamy Dew / Sunny Snooze and Ultimate Ability VFX
- Jeff the Land Shark — Breakfin’
NetEase’s published availability stamp for that second set is 25 September 2026 at 02:00:00 UTC. The patch notes do not give an end date for those lines in the same sentence as the Mantis/Daredevil limited window.

Bug fix
Devil Dinosaur’s KO Cutoff: fixed an issue where the Lord icon was misaligned in the KO feed. NetEase’s note: Moon Girl has straightened out her prehistoric pal’s UI.
No other balance changes, hero tuning, or ranked adjustments appear in the Version 20260924 patch post Softcap is covering here.
Why it matters
Version 20260924 is a map-and-store drop, not a hero rework sheet. The playable flag is God Quarry on Domination with a five-day map-only Quick Match window; the economy flag is Costume Coin returning inside Galacta’s Gift Vol.3 through mid-November, while swimsuit inventory starts leaving in October and November. Players chasing LAST SPLASH looks or Krakoan Reels Vol.2 rewards have published clocks; Softcap is not inventing meta tiers or win-rate calls around the new map.
What to watch next
Whether NetEase posts follow-up map notes or a God Quarry gallery after the Quick Match window closes on 29 Sep, how large the Exchange Store costume batch actually is once players open Galacta’s Gift Vol.3, and any hotfix traffic on the Devil Dinosaur KO feed fix after launch day.
