Marvel Rivals' Night of Illusions is live, with five mystery rooms, puzzles and limited-time rewards. NetEase's official patch notes confirm an event window from 29 October to 31 December 2026. The reward pool includes Gallery Cards, Units and Sprays, but the announcement does not provide a guaranteed reward amount for each room or a confirmed order for solving its puzzles.

Queensland stays on UTC+10 year-round. The listed end time comes from the publisher's 31 December, 09:00 UTC notice, not an assumed midnight store reset. Availability can still be affected by maintenance or future event adjustments.

What are players actually doing?

NetEase describes a strange haunted-house story featuring Elsa Bloodstone, a mystery involving the number four and several sacrificed monsters. Players explore five rooms and work through puzzles to progress. The official post stops short of a complete puzzle walkthrough, so GameOnCue is not supplying invented room codes, door locations or guaranteed hidden-reward routes.

Store cosmetics and patch fixes are separate

The Winter Soldier: Celestial Soldier bundle is listed from 30 October, 12:00 pm AEST until 27 November, 12:00 pm AEST. NetEase also announced Storm and Iron Man cosmetics tied to Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls and other effects. Store items should not be confused with free event rewards; consult the actual storefront for prices and regional availability.

The same patch corrected several specific problems: Gorr could get out of bounds using Shadow Harvest; Black Cat's costume could lose its overhead icon; Invisible Woman could remain cloaked incorrectly; and a Times Square replay issue could stop players returning to the hub. These are developer-described fixes, not an independent confirmation that every regression is eliminated.

Before the event finishes

Visit the event panel in the current game client, complete any available rooms and check each reward's claim status. Avoid buying cosmetics on the assumption that they are earnable from the puzzles. The best source of any changing instructions is the official 29 October update and event artwork. No paid cosmetics, multiplayer win rates or gameplay solutions have been guessed here.
