Rivals Update 9 Introduces the Gunblade and Bridge Map as Nosniy Prepares to Add Ranked Mode

Author : Hunter Feb 28,2025

Roblox's Rivals receives Update 9, introducing the Gunblade and Bridge map. This smaller update, focusing on new content rather than bug fixes or balance changes, adds a unique dual-purpose weapon and a fast-paced arena.

Developer Nosniy Games highlighted the Gunblade, a combination rifle and blade, perfect for surprising opponents. The new Bridge map, created by @GreatGuyBoom and set in Seoul, Korea, is a close-quarters combat arena built around a concrete structure and a bus.

Rivals Update 9 introduces the versatile Gunblade.
While this update prioritizes new content, minor skin modifications for the Demon Shorty and Demon Uzi were implemented, along with renaming some Hexxed-themed items to Vexed. The developers explicitly stated the omission of bug fixes and balance changes, promising these improvements will be included in the upcoming major update, which will finally introduce the highly anticipated Ranked mode.

The team assures players that community feedback is being considered and incorporated for the Ranked update. Previous updates, such as Update 7 (introducing the Energy Rifle, Energy Pistols, and Crossbow), demonstrate the game's commitment to regular content additions.
