Marvel Rivals Winter Celebration starts on December 20th

As a seasoned gamer with years of hero shooter experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Marvel Rivals event has me genuinely excited! Having dabbled in various titles within this genre, I’ve grown fond of their unique mechanics and dynamic gameplay.

NetEase has unveiled the inaugural season event for Marvel Rivals, set to commence on December 20th (at Midnight UTC). This includes the introduction of a fresh, time-bound gameplay mode.

The publisher also adds that: “The Marvel Rivals Invitational lineup and schedule have been announced. In North America four professional Factions from the region: NRG, Luminosity Gaming (LG), NTMR Esports, and U4RIA will compete for a total prize pool of $20,000. The match dates are December 20 17:00 – December 22 20:00 UTC-5. The tournament will be broadcast live on the official Twitch channel.”

First, watch the fresh trailer that’s provided below. Afterward, let me share some details about the update directly from NetEase.


 

The festivities for the Winter Celebration commence on December 20 at midnight (UTC), offering a fresh game mode for a brief period – Jeff’s Winter Splash Festival (4v4 Arcade Mode). Additionally, there will be a Gallery Card customization event titled “Gallery Card: 2024 Winter Celebration”. By accomplishing various tasks, players can obtain exclusive, limited-time items such as the Jeff the Land Shark’s Cuddly Fuzzlefin costume, nameplate, spray, and other prizes.

Marvel Unlimited subscribers can claim a unique Jeff the Land Shark “UNLIMITED HUNGER” spray as an added benefit. Commencing on January 3, eligible subscribers will receive the redemption code for the spray both through the Marvel Unlimited app and via their registered email for use.

In our assessment, we stated that Marvel Rivals has made an energetic debut, boasting a wide range of options initially. However, it could benefit from additional game modes to better utilize its diverse abilities and maintain engagement. Fortunately, there are only a few underwhelming characters, and the seamless, reactive gameplay harmonizes nicely with its striking, attention-grabbing design, injecting a thrilling shot of excitement into the hero shooter category.
