As a long-time Marvel fan who has seen the rise and fall of many superhero games, I must say that Marvel Rivals is really making a name for itself. The Winter Celebration event starting Dec 20th sounds like a blast, with the new 4v4 mode and Gallery customization events offering fresh gameplay experiences. And who can resist Jeff the Land Shark in his winter gear?

It’s not surprising that Marvel Rivals, being a live service game, would incorporate a holiday-themed event, right? Excitingly, NetEase has revealed that Marvel Rivals’ Winter Celebration will commence on December 20th across all platforms. This special occasion is expected to bring fresh content to enhance your gaming experience.

In an effort to generate excitement, NetEase unveiled a fresh trailer for the forthcoming event featuring our lovable character, Jeff the Land Shark, sporting winter apparel.

Marvel Rivals Winter Event Brings New Mode, Cosmetics

The Marvel Rivals Winter Festival begins on December 20th at 7 pm EST/4 pm PST. During this event, a unique, time-limited mode called “Jeff’s Winter Splash Party” will be introduced as a 4-versus-4 Arcade Mode. Additionally, there will be a customization event in the Gallery named “Gallery Card: 2024 Winter Celebration.” By completing tasks during this event, players can receive exclusive, temporary items such as Jeff the Land Shark’s Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume, nameplate, spray, and more.

It’s likely that an update for the game will come out together with the event, which usually includes rectifying bugs and possibly modifying gameplay elements to ensure fairness. Fingers crossed!

In addition to the game’s holiday celebrations, NetEase has unveiled a new Marvel Rivals comic series too! Starting today, you can dive into this exciting series, and what’s more, there’s a complimentary in-game item waiting for players.

Marvel Rivals Comic Series Launches

Starting from today, December 16th, Marvel commemorates the game’s successful debut by introducing a brand new Marvel Rivals Infinity comic series exclusively on the Marvel Unlimited digital comics app.

Starting from January 3, Marvel Unlimited subscribers can claim a unique Jeff the Land Shark Unlimited Appetite spray. To redeem this special offer, all active Marvel Unlimited members will be provided with a redemption code, which they’ll receive both via the app and their registered email.

To honor Marvel Rivals, Marvel is debuting a fresh MARVEL RIVALS INFINITY COMIC SERIES, available exclusively through the Marvel Unlimited digital comics app starting on December 16. Additionally, starting from December 20, you’ll find a new collection of free digital MARVEL MULTIVERSE CHARACTER SHEETS, a game map, and an exciting new Domination-style GAME MODE. To secure this content, sign up for a subscription before December 25; those who join after the deadline won’t receive the code.

Here, you’ll find plenty of helpful guides if you’re struggling with NetEase’s hero shooter and aiming to perform better in battles.

As an ardent player, I understand your frustration when everyone seems to choose a Duelist (damage hero) in every match, making it challenging for other roles to shine. However, let me clarify that we may not see a role queue implemented any time soon. The developers have confirmed they’re currently not considering this feature due to various reasons. They believe the current game dynamics offer enough flexibility and unpredictability, which are essential elements of the gameplay experience. They also mentioned that implementing a role queue could potentially limit the strategic depth and variety that makes the game so engaging for many of us. So, let’s continue enjoying the game as it is and hopefully, in the future, we may see more balance adjustments to make every hero role equally appealing!
