Marvel Rivals has announced a Spring Festival event, which will bring a new game mode, free rewards, and fresh cosmetics to the hero shooter on January 23. This is the second major limited-time event for Marvel Rivals, as it recently featured its Winter Celebration, which rewarded players with a free skin for Jeff the Land Shark.
The popular hero shooter is currently in the opening weeks of Season 1: Eternal Night Falls, which has added Mister Fantastic and Invisible Woman to the Marvel Rivals roster. Many fans are already looking forward to the game's large mid-season update, which will add Human Torch and The Thing as playable heroes. Some players are already speculating about which heroes may be added to the game next, as a recent Gallery Card revealed a first look at Blade fighting Dracula in Marvel Rivals. However, it seems as if fans will be able to take a break from the fight against Dracula's forces to enjoy a bit of levity in the game's upcoming event.
Marvel Rivals Leak Claims a New Vanguard Is on the Way
A prominent Marvel Rivals leaker claims that a new Vanguard character could be coming to the popular hero shooter in the near future.
NetEase Games has announced that it will be launching a Spring Festival event in Marvel Rivals, which will include a limited-time game mode titled Clash of Dancing Lions. This new mode appears to have a lot in common with soccer, as two teams face off against one another to move a ball down the field and score goals. The Spring Festival will also come with fresh event skins in Marvel Rivals, including new costumes for Black Widow, Iron First, and Star-Lord. While details are currently limited, players will have the opportunity to earn the Star-Lord costume for free, along with a nameplate and other rewards that have not yet been revealed.
Marvel Rivals’ Spring Festival Event Launch Date
- January 23, 2025
In addition to earning free cosmetics in Marvel Rivals, gamers will be able to customize their very own Gallery Card, much like they did when creating their holiday card for the Winter Celebration event with Jeff the Land Shark. Gamers excited to get in on the action won't have to wait long, as players will be able to experience the limited-time Spring Festival event when it launches on January 23.
NetEase Games has been adding content to the title at a rapid pace since its launch, and it shows no signs of slowing down. The developers recently shared that players can expect to see a new hero added to Marvel Rivals every six weeks in order to keep the community engaged. While there's no telling which heroes will be coming to the title next, leakers claim to have found evidence of characters like Cyclops, Deadpool, and Ultron in the game's files. With so much content on the way, many fans are enthusiastic about the future of the popular hero shooter.
